RESUMEN

The status of DNA methylation in the human genome changes during the pathogenesis of common diseases and acts as a predictor of life expectancy. Therefore, it is of interest to investigate the methylation level of regulatory regions of genes responsible for general biological processes that are potentially significant for the development of age-associated diseases. Among them there are genes encoding proteins of DNA repair system, which are characterized by pleiotropic effects. Here, results of the targeted methylation analysis of two regions of the human genome (the promoter of the MLH1 gene and the enhancer near the ATM gene) in different tissues of patients with carotid atherosclerosis are present. Analysis of the methylation profiles of studied genes in various tissues of the same individuals demonstrated marked differences between leukocytes and tissues of the vascular wall. Differences in methylation levels between normal and atherosclerotic tissues of the carotid arteries were revealed only for two studied CpG sites (chr11:108089866 and chr11:108090020, GRCh37/hg19 assembly) in the ATM gene. Based on this, we can assume the involvement of ATM in the development of atherosclerosis. "Overload" of the studied regions with transcription factor binding sites (according to ReMapp2022 data) indicate that the tissue-specific nature of methylation of the regulatory regions of the MLH1 and ATM may be associated with expression levels of these genes in a particular tissue. It has been shown that inter-individual differences in the methylation levels of CpG sites are associated with sufficiently distant nucleotide substitutions.

RESUMEN

The pandemic of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) warrants the identification of factors that may determine both risk and severity of infection. The factors include microRNAs that have a wide regulatory potential and hence are particularly interesting. The review focuses on the potential roles of human microRNAs and the viral genome as well as microRNAs in SARS-CoV-2 infection and clinical features of COVID-19. The review summarizes the information about the human microRNAs that are thought to specifically bind to the SARS-CoV-2 genome and considers their expression levels in various organs (cells) in both healthy state and pathologies that are risk factors for severe COVID-19. Potential mechanisms whereby SARS-CoV-2 may affect the clinical features of COVID-19 are discussed in brief. The mechanisms include blocking of human microRNAs and RNA-binding proteins, changes in gene expression in infected cells, and possible epigenetic modifications of the human genome with the participation of coronavirus microRNAs. Supplementary Information: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1134/S0026893322010034.
