While body-mass index (BMI) is used to diagnose obesity in the general population, its application in the end-stage renal disease (ESRD) population is fraught with difficulty. A major limitation is its inability to distinguish muscle mass from fat mass, thereby leading to misclassification of individuals with poor muscle mass but excess adipose tissue as non-obese (i.e. BMI <30 kg/m 2 ). As muscle wasting is common among ESRD patients, this is an important problem. A substantial proportion of

... RD patients have levels of BMI in the normal range, yet excess adiposity based on other measures. The importance of this "hidden" obesity remains to be determined, but it must be recognized in order for obesity interventions to be appropriately targeted and tested in the ESRD population.

In most eukaryotes, histone methylation patterns regulate chromatin architecture and function: methylation of histone H3 lysine-9 (H3K9) demarcates heterochromatin, whereas H3K4 methylation demarcates euchromatin. We show here that the S. pombe JmjC-domain protein Lid2 is a trimethyl H3K4 demethylase responsible for H3K4 hypomethylation in heterochromatin. Lid2 interacts with the histone lysine-9 methyltransferase, Clr4, through the Dos1/ Clr8-Rik1 complex, which also functions in the RNA

... erence pathway. Disruption of the JmjC domain alone results in severe heterochromatin defects and depletion of siRNA, whereas overexpressing Lid2 enhances heterochromatin silencing. The physical and functional link between H3K4 demethylation and H3K9 methylation suggests that the two reactions act in a coordinated manner. Surprisingly, crossregulation of H3K4 and H3K9 methylation in euchromatin also requires Lid2. We suggest that Lid2 enzymatic activity in euchromatin is regulated through a dynamic interplay with other histone-modification enzymes. Our findings provide mechanistic insight into the coordination of H3K4 and H3K9 methylation.

Cytosine methylation of repetitive sequences is widespread in plant genomes, occurring in both symmetric (CpG and CpNpG) as well as asymmetric sequence contexts. We used the methylation-dependent restriction enzyme McrBC to profile methylated DNA using tiling microarrays of Arabidopsis Chromosome 4 in two distinct ecotypes, Columbia and Landsberg erecta. We also used comparative genome hybridization to profile copy number polymorphisms. Repeated sequences and transposable elements (TEs),

... lly long terminal repeat retrotransposons, are densely methylated, but one third of genes also have low but detectable methylation in their transcribed regions. While TEs are almost always methylated, genic methylation is highly polymorphic, with half of all methylated genes being methylated in only one of the two ecotypes. A survey of loci in 96 Arabidopsis accessions revealed a similar degree of methylation polymorphism. Within-gene methylation is heritable, but is lost at a high frequency in segregating F 2 families. Promoter methylation is rare, and gene expression is not generally affected by differences in DNA methylation. Small interfering RNA are preferentially associated with methylated TEs, but not with methylated genes, indicating that most genic methylation is not guided by small interfering RNA. This may account for the instability of gene methylation, if occasional failure of maintenance methylation cannot be restored by other means.

Results: Individuals without baseline knee OA who self-reported vitamin supplement usage were 12% less likely to develop knee OA than were those individuals who self-reported no vitamin supplement usage (RR = 0.88; 95% C.I. 0.86-0.89). Those with baseline knee OA who self-reported vitamin supplement usage were 7% less likely to experience knee OA progression than were those individuals who self-reported no vitamin supplement usage (RR = 0.93; 95% C.I. 0.87-0.99 ). Conclusion: After consideration of BMI, gender, age, history of knee trauma, exercise and vitamin supplement usage prior to study baseline, these findings suggest that vitamin supplement usage may play a protective role in knee OA.

Known protein coding gene exons compose less than 3% of the human genome. The remaining 97% is largely uncharted territory, with only a small fraction characterized. The recent observation of transcription in this intergenic territory has stimulated debate about the extent of intergenic transcription and whether these intergenic RNAs are functional. Here we directly observed with a large set of RNA-seq data covering a wide array of human tissue types that the majority of the genome is indeed

... nscribed, corroborating recent observations by the ENCODE project. Furthermore, using de novo transcriptome assembly of this RNA-seq data, we found that intergenic regions encode far more long intergenic noncoding RNAs (lincRNAs) than previously described, helping to resolve the discrepancy between the vast amount of observed intergenic transcription and the limited number of previously known lincRNAs. In total, we identified tens of thousands of putative lincRNAs expressed at a minimum of one copy per cell, significantly expanding upon prior lincRNA annotation sets. These lincRNAs are specifically regulated and conserved rather than being the product of transcriptional noise. In addition, lincRNAs are strongly enriched for trait-associated SNPs suggesting a new mechanism by which intergenic trait-associated regions may function. These findings will enable the discovery and interrogation of novel intergenic functional elements.

Some nephrologists have advocated an individualized approach to the prescription of bicarbonate hemodialysis. However, the utility of monthly serum bicarbonate levels for guiding and evaluating such treatment decisions has not been evaluated. We sought to define the variability of these measurements and to determine factors that are associated with month-to-month variability in pre-dialysis serum bicarbonate. Methods: We examined the monthly variability in serum bicarbonate measurements among

... 1 hemodialysis patients admitted to a free-standing dialysis unit in the Bronx, NY from 1/1/2008-6/30/2012. All patients were treated with a uniform bicarbonate dialysis prescription (bicarbonate 35 mEq/L, acetate 8 mEq/L). Pre-dialysis serum bicarbonate values were obtained from monthly laboratory reports. Month-to-month variability was defined using a rolling measurement for each time point. Results: Only 34 % of high serum bicarbonate values (>26 mEq/L) remained high in the subsequent month, whereas 60 % converted to normal (22-26 mEq/L). Of all low values (<22 mEq/L), 41 % were normal the following month, while 58 % remained low. Using the mean 3-month bicarbonate, only 29 % of high values remained high in the next 3-month period. In multivariable-adjusted longitudinal models, both low and high serum bicarbonate values were associated with greater variability than were normal values (β = 0.12 (95 % CI 0.09-0.15) and 0.24 (0.18 to 0.29) respectively). Variability decreased with time, and was significantly associated with age, phosphate binder use, serum creatinine, potassium, and normalized protein catabolic rate. Conclusions: Monthly pre-dialysis serum bicarbonate levels are highly variable. Even if a clinician takes no action, approximately 50 % of bicarbonate values outside a normal range of 22-26 mEq/L will return to normal in the subsequent month. The decision to change the bicarbonate dialysis prescription should not be based on a single bicarbonate value, and even a 3-month mean may be insufficient.

Histone methylation regulates transcription, chromatin structure, and the epigenetic state of the cell. Recent studies identified the JmjC domain as a catalytic module for histone demethylation. Schizosaccharomyces pombe contains seven JmjC proteins, but it was unclear whether any of them functioned as histone demethylases. In this report, we show that the JmjC protein Jmj2, which is evolutionarily conserved from yeast to human, reversed trimethylated H3-Lys-4 to di-and monobut not unmethylated

... products. Overexpression of Jmj2 but not a catalytically inactive mutant reduced H3-Lys-4 trimethylation levels in vivo and suppressed the toxicity caused by overexpression of the H3-Lys-4-me3-binding protein Yng1 in budding yeast. Genome-wide analysis showed that the loss of jmj2 was associated with an increase in the H3-Lys-4-me3 signal, which was enriched near the transcriptional start sites and the coding regions. At the mating-type locus, the loss of jmj2 or substitution of jmj2 with a catalytically inactive form is correlated with increased reporter gene transcription and H3-Lys-4-me3/2 levels, suggesting that Jmj2 and its demethylase activity may play a role in heterochromatin biology. Our findings identified a novel S. pombe histone demethylase with specificity toward di-and trimethylated histone H3-Lys-4 and a possible role in heterochromatin regulation.
