Summary (written by the submitters)
BRAFV600E-mutated colorectal cancer (CRC) exhibits a strong correlation with DNA hypermethylation suggesting this subgroup of tumors is uniquely presenting epigenomic phenotypes. Nonetheless, the traditional epigenomic therapeutic agent, 5-azacitidine, which inhibits DNA methyltransferase activity, did not yield sufficient improvements in the efficacies of BRAFV600E CRC in vivo.

We utilized a patient-derived xenograft model and confirmed an effective reduction of DNA methylation levels upon 5-azacitidine treatment yet failed to restore gene expression patterns. This study unbiasedly explored the adaptive engagement of other epigenomic modifications upon the profound decrease in DNA methylation by azacitidine treatment. A loss of histone acetylation and a gain of histone methylations, including H3K27 and H3K4 trimethylation, were observed around hypomethylated regions. Our findings suggested a compensatory increase in repressive histone mark, H3K27 trimethylation, around treatment-induced hypomethylated regions, which suggests the involvement of polycomb repressive complex (PRC) activity around the genome with lost DNA methylation, therefore maintaining the suppression of key genes. Combined inhibition of PRC activity through EZH2 inhibitor with azacitidine treatment additively improved efficacies in BRAFV600E CRC cells. In conclusion, DNA hypermethylation exhibits a close association with H3K27me3 and PRC activity in BRAFV600E CRC, and simultaneous blockade of DNMT and EZH2 holds promise as a potential therapeutic strategy for patients with BRAFV600E-mutated CRC.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE254604_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

Raw reads on ENA ↗

What the files usually look like: Look for peak files (.bed, .narrowPeak) and signal tracks (.bigWig) among the supplementary files; the raw reads are on ENA.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1071124 and SRA study SRP486889. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
