Abstract
BACKGROUND The high variability in clinical and metabolic presentations of inborn errors of cobalamin (cbl) metabolism (IECM), such as the cblC/epicblC types with combined deficits in methylmalonyl-coA mutase (MUT) and methionine synthase (MS), are not well understood. They could be explained by the impaired expression/activity of enzymes from other metabolic pathways. METHODS We performed metabolomic, genomic, proteomic, and post-translational modification (PTM) analyses in fibroblasts from three cblC cases and one epi-cblC case compared with three cblG cases with specific MS deficits and control fibroblasts. FINDINGS CblC patients had metabolic profilings consistent with altered urea cycle, glycine, and energy mitochondrial metabolism. Metabolomic analysis showed partial disruption and increased glutamate/ketoglutarate anaplerotic pathway of the tricarboxylic acid cycle (TCA), in patient fibroblasts. RNA-seq analysis showed decreased expression of MT-TT (mitochondrial tRNA threonine), MT-TP (mitochondrial tRNA proline), OXCT1 (succinyl CoA:3-oxoacid CoA transferase deficiency), and MT-CO1 (cytochrome C oxidase subunit 1). Proteomic changes were observed for key mitochondrial enzymes, including NADH:ubiquinone oxidoreductase subunit A8 (NDUFA8), carnitine palmitoyltransferase 2 (CPT2), and ubiquinol-cytochrome C reductase, complex III subunit X (UQCR10). Propionaldehyde addition in ornithine aminotransferase was the predominant PTM in cblC cells and could be related with the dramatic cellular increase in propionate and methylglyoxalate. It is consistent with the decreased concentration of ornithine reported in 3 cblC cases. Whether the changes detected after multi-omic analyses underlies clinical features in cblC and cblG types of IECM, such as peripheral and central neuropathy, cardiomyopathy, pulmonary hypertension, development delay, remains to be investigated. INTERPRETATION The omics-related effects of IECM on other enzymes and metabolic pathways are consistent with the diversity and variability of their age-related metabolic and clinical manifestations. PTMs are expected to produce cumulative effects, which could explain the influence of age on neurological manifestations.

Abstract
BACKGROUND MTR gene encodes the cytoplasmic enzyme methionine synthase, which plays a pivotal role in the methionine cycle of one-carbon metabolism. This cycle holds a significant importance in generating S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) and S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH), the respective universal methyl donor and end-product of epigenetic transmethylation reactions. cblG type of inherited disorders of vitamin B12 metabolism due to mutations in MTR gene exhibits a wide spectrum of symptoms, including a retinopathy unresponsive to conventional therapies. METHODS To unveil the underlying epigenetic pathological mechanisms, we conducted a comprehensive study of epigenomic-wide alterations of DNA methylation by NGS of bisulfited retinal DNA in an original murine model with conditional Mtr deletion in retinal tissue. Our focus was on postnatal day 21, a critical developmental juncture for ocular structure refinement and functional maturation. RESULTS We observed delayed eye opening and impaired visual acuity and alterations in the one-carbon metabolomic profile, with a notable dramatic decline in SAM/SAH ratio predicted to impair DNA methylation. This metabolic disruption led to epigenome-wide changes in genes involved in eye development, synaptic plasticity, and retinoid metabolism, including promoter hypermethylation of Rarα, a regulator of Lrat expression. Consistently, we observed a decline in cone photoreceptor cells and reduced expression of Lrat, Rpe65, and Rdh5, three pivotal genes of eye retinoid metabolism. CONCLUSION We introduced an original in vivo model for studying cblG retinopathy, which highlighted the pivotal role of altered DNA methylation in eye development, cone differentiation, and retinoid metabolism. This model can be used for preclinical studies of novel therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Vitamin B9 (folate)/B12 (cobalamin) deficiency is known to induce brain structural and/or functional retardations. In many countries, folate supplementation, targeting the most severe outcomes such as neural tube defects, is discontinued after the first trimester. However, adverse effects may occur after birth because of some mild misregulations. Various hormonal receptors were shown to be deregulated in brain tissue under these conditions. The glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is particularly sensitive to epigenetic regulation and post-translational modifications. In a mother-offspring rat model of vitamin B9/B12 deficiency, we investigated whether a prolonged folate supplementation could restore the GR signaling in the hypothalamus. Our data showed that a deficiency of folate and vitamin B12 during the in-utero and early postnatal periods was associated with reduced GR expression in the hypothalamus. We also described for the first time a novel post-translational modification of GR that impaired ligand binding and GR activation, leading to decrease expression of one of the GR targets in the hypothalamus, AgRP. Moreover, this brain-impaired GR signaling pathway was associated with behavioral perturbations during offspring growth. Importantly, perinatal and postnatal supplementation with folic acid helped restore GR mRNA levels and activity in hypothalamus cells and improved behavioral deficits.

Abstract
Impairment of one-carbon metabolism during pregnancy, either due to nutritional deficiencies in B9 or B12 vitamins or caused by specific genetic defects, is often associated with neurological defects, including cognitive dysfunction that persists even after vitamin supplementation. Animal nutritional models do not allow for conclusions regarding the specific brain mechanisms that may be modulated by systemic compensations. Using the Cre-lox system associated to the neuronal promoter Thy1.2, a knock-out model for the methionine synthase specifically in the brain was generated. Our results on the neurobehavioral development of offspring show that the absence of methionine synthase did not lead to growth retardation, despite an effective reduction of both its expression and the methylation status in brain tissues. Behaviors were differently affected according to their functional outcome. Only temporary retardations were recorded in the acquisition of vegetative functions during the suckling period, compared to a dramatic reduction in cognitive performance after weaning. Investigation of the glutamatergic synapses in cognitive areas showed a reduction of AMPA receptors phosphorylation and clustering, indicating an epigenomic effect of the neuronal deficiency of methionine synthase on the reduction of glutamatergic synapses excitability. Altogether, our data indicate that cognitive impairment associated with methionine synthase deficiency may not only result from neurodevelopmental abnormalities, but may also be the consequence of alterations in functional plasticity of the brain.

Abstract
Nutrition appears to be an important environmental factor involved in the onset of inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) through yet poorly understood biological mechanisms. Most studies focused on fat content in high caloric diets, while refined sugars represent up to 40% of caloric intake within industrialized countries and contribute to the growing epidemics of inflammatory diseases. Herein we aim to better understand the impact of a high-fat-high-sucrose diet on intestinal homeostasis in healthy conditions and the subsequent colitis risk. We investigated the early events and the potential reversibility of high caloric diet-induced damage in mice before experimental colitis. C57BL/6 mice were fed with a high-fat or high-fat high-sucrose or control diet before experimental colitis. In healthy mice, a high-fat high-sucrose diet induces a pre-IBD state characterized by gut microbiota dysbiosis with a total depletion of bacteria belonging to Barnesiella that is associated with subclinical endoscopic lesions. An overall down-regulation of the colonic transcriptome converged with broadly decreased immune cell populations in the mesenteric lymph nodes leading to the inability to respond to tissue injury. Such in-vivo effects on microbiome and transcriptome were partially restored when returning to normal chow. Long-term consumption of diet enriched in sucrose and fat predisposes mice to colitis. This enhanced risk is preceded by gut microbiota dysbiosis and transcriptional reprogramming of colonic genes related to IBD. Importantly, diet-induced transcriptome and microbiome disturbances are partially reversible after switching back to normal chow with persistent sequelae that may contribute to IBD predisposition in the general population.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Vitamin B12 deficiency presents various neurological manifestations, such as cognitive dysfunction, mental retardation, or memory impairment. However, the involved molecular mechanisms remain to date unclear. Vitamin B12 is essential for synthesizing S-adenosyl methionine (SAM), the methyl group donor used for almost all transmethylation reactions. Here, we investigate the m6A methylation of mRNAs and their related gene expression in models of vitamin B12 deficiency. METHODS AND RESULTS This study observes two cellular models deficient in vitamin B12 and hippocampi of mice knock-out for the CD320 receptor. The decrease in SAM levels resulting from vitamin B12 deficiency is associated with m6 A reduced levels in mRNAs. This is also potentially mediated by the overexpression of the eraser FTO. We further investigate mRNA methylation of some genes involved in neurological functions targeted by the m6A reader YTH proteins. We notably observe a m6A hypermethylation of Prkca mRNA and a consistently increased expression of PKCα, a kinase involved in brain development and neuroplasticity, in the two cellular models. CONCLUSION Our data show that m6A methylation in mRNA could be one of the contributing mechanisms that underlie the neurological manifestations produced by vitamin B12 deficiency.

Abstract
SCOPE Vitamin B12 and folate (methyl donors) deficiency is frequent during pregnancy. Experimental rat models with methyl donor deficit during pregnancy and lactation (Initial methyl donor deficit (iMDD)) produce impaired myocardium fatty acid oxidation and mitochondrial energy metabolism at weaning. METHODS AND RESULTS The consequences of iMDD on heart of rat pups under normal diet after weaning and high fat diet (HF) between day (D) 50 and D185 are investigated. iMDD/HF induces increased histological fibrosis and increased B-type natriuretic peptide blood level. Inflammation is evidenced by increased protein expression of NFkB, Caspase1, and IL1β and fibrosis by increased expression of αSMA, col1a1, and col1a2 in females, but not in males. Fibrosis is related to increased angiotensin at D50 and D185 and increased protein expression of TGFB1 and AT1 angiotensin receptors at D185. The limited fibrosis in males is consistent with increased expression of AT2, the antagonist receptor of AT1. The increased expression of GLUT4 and decreased expression of PGC1α and PPARα reflect a shift from fatty acid oxidation to glycolysis. CONCLUSION Developmental programming by iMDD produces cardiomyopathy in female offspring exposed to HF. The cardiomyopathy is linked to inflammation and fibrosis through angiotensin-AT2 and TGFB1 pathways and alteration of energy metabolism.

Abstract
Cobalamin (Cbl, vitamin B12) deficiency or inborn errors of Cbl metabolism can produce neurologic disorders resistant to therapies, including cognitive dysfunction, mild mental retardation, memory impairment, and confusion. We used Cd320 KO mouse as a model for studying the pathological mechanisms of these disorders. Cd320 encodes the receptor (TCblR) needed for the cellular uptake of Cbl in the brain. The Cd320-/- mouse model presented an impaired learning memory that could be alleviated by a moderate stress, which produced also a greater increase of plasma corticosterone, compared to wild type animals. The present study investigated such a putative rescue mechanism in Cbl-deficient mice. At the molecular level in the brain of Cd320-/- mouse, the decreased methylation status led to a downregulation of glucocorticoid nuclear receptor (GR)/PPAR-gamma co-activator-1 alpha (PGC-1α) pathway. This was evidenced by the decreased expression of GR, decreased methylation of GR and PGC1α, and decreased dimerization and interaction of GR with PGC1α. This led to altered synaptic activity evidenced by decreased interaction between the NMDA glutamatergic receptor and the PSD95 post-synaptic protein and a lower expression of Egr-1 and synapsin 1, in Cd320-/- mice compared to the wild type animals. Intraperitoneal injection of hydrocortisone rescued these molecular changes and normalized the learning memory tests. Our study suggests adaptive influences of moderate stress on loss of memory and cognition due to brain Cbl deficiency. The GR pathway could be a potential target for innovative therapy of cognitive manifestations in patients with poor response to conventional Cbl treatment.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The risk of neural tube defects (NTDs) is influenced by nutritional factors and genetic determinants of one-carbon metabolism. A key pathway of this metabolism is the vitamin B-12- and folate-dependent remethylation of homocysteine, which depends on methionine synthase (MS, encoded by MTR), methionine synthase reductase, and methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase. Methionine, the product of this pathway, is the direct precursor of S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), the universal methyl donor needed for epigenetic mechanisms. OBJECTIVES This study aimed to evaluate whether the availability of vitamin B-12 and folate and the expression or activity of the target enzymes of the remethylation pathway are involved in NTD risk. METHODS We studied folate and vitamin B-12 concentrations and activity, expression, and gene variants of the 3 enzymes in liver from 14 NTD and 16 non-NTD fetuses. We replicated the main findings in cord blood from pregnancies of 41 NTD fetuses compared with 21 fetuses with polymalformations (metabolic and genetic findings) and 375 control pregnancies (genetic findings). RESULTS The tissue concentration of vitamin B-12 (P = 0.003), but not folate, and the activity (P = 0.001), transcriptional level (P = 0.016), and protein expression (P = 0.003) of MS were decreased and the truncated inactive isoforms of MS were increased in NTD livers. SAM was significantly correlated with MS activity and vitamin B-12. A gene variant in exon 1 of GIF (Gastric Intrinsic Factor gene) was associated with a dramatic decrease of liver vitamin B-12 in 2 cases. We confirmed the decreased vitamin B-12 in cord blood from NTD pregnancies. A gene variant of GIF exon 3 was associated with NTD risk. CONCLUSIONS The decreased vitamin B-12 in liver and cord blood and decreased expression and activity of MS in liver point out the impaired remethylation pathway as hallmarks associated with NTD risk. We suggest evaluating vitamin B-12 in the nutritional recommendations for prevention of NTD risk beside folate fortification or supplementation.

Abstract
The molecular mechanisms that underlie the neurological manifestations of patients with inherited diseases of vitamin B12 (cobalamin) metabolism remain to date obscure. We observed transcriptomic changes of genes involved in RNA metabolism and endoplasmic reticulum stress in a neuronal cell model with impaired cobalamin metabolism. These changes were related to the subcellular mislocalization of several RNA binding proteins, including the ELAVL1/HuR protein implicated in neuronal stress, in this cell model and in patient fibroblasts with inborn errors of cobalamin metabolism and Cd320 knockout mice. The decreased interaction of ELAVL1/HuR with the CRM1/exportin protein of the nuclear pore complex and its subsequent mislocalization resulted from hypomethylation at R-217 produced by decreased S-adenosylmethionine and protein methyl transferase CARM1 and dephosphorylation at S221 by increased protein phosphatase PP2A. The mislocalization of ELAVL1/HuR triggered the decreased expression of SIRT1 deacetylase and genes involved in brain development, neuroplasticity, myelin formation, and brain aging. The mislocalization was reversible upon treatment with siPpp2ca, cobalamin, S-adenosylmethionine, or PP2A inhibitor okadaic acid. In conclusion, our data highlight the key role of the disruption of ELAVL1/HuR nuclear export, with genomic changes consistent with the effects of inborn errors of Cbl metabolisms on brain development, neuroplasticity and myelin formation.

Abstract
Affecting more than 30% of the Western population, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) is the most common liver disease and can lead to multiple complications, including nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), cancer, hypertension, and atherosclerosis. Insulin resistance and obesity are described as potential causes of NAFLD. However, we surmised that factors such as extracellular matrix remodeling of large blood vessels, skin, or lungs may also participate in the progression of liver diseases. We studied the effects of elastin-derived peptides (EDPs), biomarkers of aging, on NAFLD progression. We evaluated the consequences of EDP accumulation in mice and of elastin receptor complex (ERC) activation on lipid storage in hepatocytes, inflammation, and fibrosis development. The accumulation of EDPs induces hepatic lipogenesis (i.e., SREBP1c and ACC), inflammation (i.e., Kupffer cells, IL-1β, and TGF-β), and fibrosis (collagen and elastin expression). These effects are induced by inhibition of the LKB1-AMPK pathway by ERC activation. In addition, pharmacological inhibitors of EDPs demonstrate that this EDP-driven lipogenesis and fibrosis relies on engagement of the ERC. Our data reveal a major role of EDPs in the development of NASH, and they provide new clues for understanding the relationship between NAFLD and vascular aging.

Abstract
Non-alcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is a manifestation of metabolic syndrome, which emerges as a major public health problem. Deficiency in methyl donors (folate and vitamin B12) during gestation and lactation is frequent in humans and produces foetal programming effects of metabolic syndrome, with small birth weight and liver steatosis at day 21 (d21), in rat pups. We investigated the effects of fetal programming on liver of rats born from deficient mothers (iMDD) and subsequently subjected to normal diet after d21 and high fat diet (HF) after d50. We observed increased abdominal fat, ASAT/ALAT ratio and angiotensin blood level, but no histological liver abnormality in d50 iMDD rats. In contrast, d185 iMDD/HF animals had hallmarks of steato-hepatitis, with increased markers of inflammation and fibrosis (caspase1, cleaved IL-1β, α1(I) and α2(I) collagens and α-SMA), insulin resistance (HOMA-IR and Glut 2) and expression of genes involved in stellate cell stimulation and remodelling and key genes triggering NASH pathomechanisms (transforming growth factor beta super family, angiotensin and angiotensin receptor type 1). Our data showed a foetal programming effect of MDD on liver inflammation and fibrosis, which suggests investigating whether MDD during pregnancy is a risk factor of NASH in populations subsequently exposed to HF diet.

Abstract
Deficiency in methyl donor (folate and vitamin B12) and in vitamin D is independently associated with altered bone development. Previously, methyl donor deficiency (MDD) was shown to weaken the activity of nuclear receptor coactivator, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ coactivator-1α (PGC1α), for nuclear signaling in rat pups, including estrogen receptor-α and estrogen-related receptor-α; its effect on vitamin D receptor (VDR) signaling, however, is unknown. We studied bone development under MDD in rat pups and used human MG-63 preosteoblast cells to better understand the associated molecular mechanism. In young rats, MDD decreased total body bone mineral density, reduced tibia length, and impaired growth plate maturation, and in preosteoblasts, MDD slowed cellular proliferation. Mechanistic studies revealed decreased expression of VDR, estrogen receptor-α, PGC1α, arginine methyltransferase 1, and sirtuin 1 in both rat proximal diaphysis of femur and in MG-63, as well as decreased nuclear VDR-PGC1α interaction in MG-63 cells. The weaker VDR-PGC1α interaction could be attributed to the reduced protein expression, imbalanced PGC1α methylation/acetylation, and nuclear VDR sequestration by heat shock protein 90 (HSP90). These together compromised bone development, which is reflected by lowered bone alkaline phosphatase and increased proadipogenic peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ, adiponectin, and estrogen-related receptor-α expression. Of interest, under MDD, the bone development effects of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 were ineffectual and these could be rescued by the addition of S-adenosylmethionine, which restored expression of arginine methyltransferase 1, PGC1α, adiponectin, and HSP90. In conclusion, MDD inactivates vitamin D signaling via both disruption of VDR-PGC1α interaction and sequestration of nuclear VDR attributable to HSP90 overexpression. These data suggest that vitamin D treatment may be ineffective under MDD.-Feigerlova, E., Demarquet, L., Melhem, H., Ghemrawi, R., Battaglia-Hsu, S.-F., Ewu, E., Alberto, J.-M., Helle, D., Weryha, G., Guéant, J.-L.

Abstract
Deficiency in the methyl donors vitamin B12 and folate during pregnancy and postnatal life impairs proper brain development. We studied the consequences of this combined deficiency on cerebellum plasticity in offspring from rat mothers subjected to deficient diet during gestation and lactation and in rat neuroprogenitor cells expressing cerebellum markers. The major proteomic change in cerebellum of 21-d-old deprived females was a 2.2-fold lower expression of synapsins, which was confirmed in neuroprogenitors cultivated in the deficient condition. A pathway analysis suggested that these proteomic changes were related to estrogen receptor α (ER-α)/Src tyrosine kinase. The influence of impaired ER-α pathway was confirmed by abnormal negative geotaxis test at d 19-20 and decreased phsophorylation of synapsins in deprived females treated by ER-α antagonist 1,3-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-4-methyl-5-[4-(2-piperidinylethoxy)phenol]-1H-pyrazole dihydrochloride (MPP). This effect was consistent with 2-fold decreased expression and methylation of ER-α and subsequent decreased ER-α/PPAR-γ coactivator 1 α (PGC-1α) interaction in deficiency condition. The impaired ER-α pathway led to decreased expression of synapsins through 2-fold decreased EGR-1/Zif-268 transcription factor and to 1.7-fold reduced Src-dependent phosphorylation of synapsins. The treatment of neuroprogenitors with either MPP or PP1 (4-(4'-phenoxyanilino)-6,7-dimethoxyquinazoline, 6,7-dimethoxy-N-(4-phenoxyphenyl)-4-quinazolinamine, SKI-1, Src-l1) Src inhibitor produced similar effects. In conclusion, the deficiency during pregnancy and lactation impairs the expression of synapsins through a deregulation of ER-α pathway.

Abstract
Early deficiency of the methyl donors folate and vitamin B12 produces hyperhomocysteinemia and cognitive and motor disorders in 21-day-old rat pups from dams fed a diet deficient in methyl donors during gestation and lactation. These disorders are associated with impaired neurogenesis and altered synaptic plasticity in cerebellum. We aimed to investigate whether these disorders could be related to impaired expression of neurosteroidogenesis-associated proteins, key regulator receptors, and some steroid content in the cerebellum. The methyl donor deficiency produced a decreased concentration of folate and vitamin B12, along with accumulation of homocysteine in Purkinje cells in both sexes, whereas the S-adenosylmethionine/S-adenosylhomocysteine ratio was reduced only in females. The transcription level and protein expression of StAR, aromatase, ERα, ERβ, and LH receptors were decreased only in females, with a marked effect in Purkinje cells, as shown by immunohistochemistry. Consistently, reduced levels of estradiol and pregnenolone were measured in cerebellar extracts of females only. The decreased expression levels of the transcriptional factors CREB, phospho-CREB, and SF-1, the lesser increase of cAMP concentration, and the lower level of phospho-PKC in the cerebellum of deficient females suggest that the activation of neurosteroidogenesis via cAMP-mediated signaling pathways associated with LHR activation would be altered. In conclusion, a gestational methyl donor deficiency impairs neurosteroidogenesis in cerebellum in a sex-dependent manner.

Abstract
Several genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have identified a strong association between serum vitamin B12 and fucosyltransferase 2 (FUT2), a gene associated with susceptibility to Helicobacter pylori infection. Hazra et al. conducted a meta-analysis of three GWAS and found three additional loci in MUT, CUBN and TCN1. Other GWAS conducted in Italy and China confirmed the association for FUT2 gene. Alpha-2-fucosyltransferase (FUT2) catalyzes fucose addition to form H-type antigens in exocrine secretions. FUT2 non-secretor variant produces no secretion of H-type antigens and is associated with high-plasma vitamin B12 levels. This association was explained by the influence of FUT2 on H. pylori, which is a risk factor of gastritis, a main cause of vitamin B12 impaired absorption. However, we recently showed that H. pylori serology had no influence on FUT2 association with vitamin B12, in a large sample population, suggesting the involvement of an alternative mechanism. GIF is another gene associated with plasma levels of vitamin B12 and gastric intrinsic factor (GIF) is a fucosylated protein needed for B12 absorption. Inherited GIF deficiency produces B12 deficiency unrelated with gastritis. We report 2 families with heterozygous GIF mutation, 290T>C, M97T, with decreased binding affinity of GIF for vitamin B12 and one family with heterozygous GIF mutation 435_437delGAA, K145_N146delinsN and no B12 binding activity of mutated GIF. All cases with vitamin B12 deficit carried the FUT2 rs601338 secretor variant. Ulex europeus binding to GIF was influenced by FUT2 genotypes and GIF concentration was lower, in gastric juice from control subjects with the secretor genotype. GIF290C allele was reported in 5 European cases and no Africans among 1282 ambulatory subjects and was associated with low plasma vitamin B12 and anaemia in the single case bearing the FUT2 secretor variant. We concluded that FUT2 secretor variant worsens B12 status in cases with heterozygous GIF mutations by impairing GIF secretion, independently from H. pylori-related gastritis.

Abstract
Failure of cancer chemotherapy due to multidrug resistance is often associated with altered Multidrug Resistance-1 gene expression. Cobalamin is the cofactor of methionine synthase, a key enzyme of the methionine cycle which synthesizes methionine, the precursor of cell S-adenosyl-methionine synthesis. We previously showed that cobalamin was able to down-regulate Multidrug Resistance-1 gene expression. Herein we report that this effect occurs through cobalamin-activation of phospholipase D activity in HepG2 cells. Cobalamin-induced down-regulation of Multidrug Resistance-1 gene expression was similar to that induced by the phospholipase D activator oleic acid and was negatively modulated by the phospholipase D inhibitor n-butanol. Cobalamin increased cell S-adenosyl-methionine content, which is the substrate for phosphatidylethanolamine-methyltransferase-dependent phosphatidylcholine production. We showed that cobalamin-induced increase in cell phosphatidylcholine production was phosphatidylethanolamine-methyltransferase-dependent. Oleic acid-dependent activation of phospholipase D was accompanied by an increased sensitivity to vinblastine of HepG2 cells while n-butanol enhanced the resistance of the cells to vinblastine. These data indicate that cobalamin mediates down-regulation of Multidrug Resistance-1 gene expression through increased S-adenosyl-methionine and phosphatidylcholine productions and phospholipase D activation. This points out phospholipase D as a potential target to down-regulate Multidrug Resistance-1 gene expression for improving chemotherapy efficacy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND & AIMS Folate and cobalamin are methyl donors needed for the synthesis of methionine, which is the precursor of S-adenosylmethionine, the substrate of methylation in epigenetic, and epigenomic pathways. Methyl donor deficiency produces liver steatosis and predisposes to metabolic syndrome. Whether impaired fatty acid oxidation contributes to this steatosis remains unknown. METHODS We evaluated the consequences of methyl donor deficient diet in liver of pups from dams subjected to deficiency during gestation and lactation. RESULTS The deprived rats had microvesicular steatosis, with increased triglycerides, decreased methionine synthase activity, S-adenosylmethionine, and S-adenosylmethionine/S-adenosylhomocysteine ratio. We observed no change in apoptosis markers, oxidant and reticulum stresses, and carnityl-palmitoyl transferase 1 activity, and a decreased expression of SREBP-1c. Impaired beta-oxidation of fatty acids and carnitine deficit were the predominant changes, with decreased free and total carnitines, increased C14:1/C16 acylcarnitine ratio, decrease of oxidation rate of palmitoyl-CoA and palmitoyl-L-carnitine and decrease of expression of novel organic cation transporter 1, acylCoA-dehydrogenase and trifunctional enzyme subunit alpha and decreased activity of complexes I and II. These changes were related to lower protein expression of ER-α, ERR-α and HNF-4α, and hypomethylation of PGC-1α co-activator that reduced its binding with PPAR-α, ERR-α, and HNF-4α. CONCLUSIONS The liver steatosis resulted predominantly from hypomethylation of PGC1-α, decreased binding with its partners and subsequent impaired mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation. This link between methyl donor deficiency and epigenomic deregulations of energy metabolism opens new insights into the pathogenesis of fatty liver disease, in particular, in relation to the fetal programming hypothesis.

Abstract
Despite the key role in neuronal development of a deficit in the methyl donor folate, little is known on the underlying mechanisms. We therefore studied the consequences of folate deficiency on proliferation, differentiation, and plasticity of the rat H19-7 hippocampal cell line. Folate deficit reduced proliferation (17%) and sensitized cells to differentiation-associated apoptosis (+16%). Decreased production (-58%) of S-adenosylmethionine (the universal substrate for transmethylation reactions) and increased expression of histone deacetylases (HDAC4,6,7) would lead to epigenomic changes that may impair the differentiation process. Cell polarity, vesicular transport, and synaptic plasticity were dramatically affected, with poor neurite outgrowth (-57%). Cell treatment by an HDAC inhibitor (SAHA) led to a noticeable improvement of cell polarity and morphology, with longer processes. Increased homocysteine levels (+55%) consecutive to folate shortage produced homocysteinylation, evidenced by coimmunoprecipitations and mass spectrometry, and aggregation of motor proteins dynein and kinesin, along with functional alterations, as reflected by reduced interactions with partner proteins. Prominent homocysteinylation of key neuronal proteins and subsequent aggregation certainly constitute major adverse effects of folate deficiency, affecting normal development with possible long-lasting consequences.

Abstract
Inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) result from complex interactions between environmental and genetic factors. Low blood levels of vitamin B12 and folate and genetic variants of related target enzymes are associated with IBD risk, in population studies. To investigate the underlying mechanisms, we evaluated the effects of a methyl-deficient diet (MDD, folate, vitamin B12 and choline) in an experimental model of colitis induced by dextran sodium sulphate (DSS), in rat pups from dams subjected to the MDD during gestation and lactation. Four groups were considered (n= 12–16 per group): C DSS− (control/DSS−), D DSS− (deficient/DSS−), C DSS+ (control/DSS+) and D DSS+ (deficient/DSS+). Changes in apoptosis, oxidant stress and pro-inflammatory pathways were studied within colonic mucosa. In rat pups, the MDD produced a decreased plasma concentration of vitamin B12 and folate and an increased homocysteine (7.8 ± 0.9 versus 22.6 ± 1.2 μmol/l, P < 0.001). The DSS-induced colitis was dramatically more severe in the D DSS+ group compared with each other group, with no change in superoxide dismutase and glutathione peroxidase activity, but decreased expression of caspase-3 and Bax, and increased Bcl-2 levels. The mRNA levels of tumour necrosis factor (TNF)-α and protein levels of p38, cytosolic phospolipase A2 and cyclooxygenase 2 were significantly increased in the D DSS+ pups and were accompanied by a decrease in the protein level of tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinases (TIMP)3, a negative regulator of TNF-α. MDD may cause an overexpression of pro-inflammatory pathways, indicating an aggravating effect of folate and/or vitamin B12 deficiency in experimental IBD. These findings suggest paying attention to vitamin B12 and folate deficits, frequently reported in IBD patients.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The deficiency in methyl donors, folate and vitamin B12, increases homocysteine and produces myocardium hypertrophy with impaired mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation and increased BNP, through hypomethylation of peroxisome-proliferator-activated-receptor gamma co-activator-1α, in rat. This may help to understand better the elusive link previously reported between hyperhomocysteinemia and BNP, in human. We investigated therefore the influence of methyl donors on heart mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation and brain natriuretic peptide, in two contrasted populations. METHODS Biomarkers of heart disease, of one carbon metabolism and of mitochondrial fatty acid oxidation were assessed in 1020 subjects, including patients undergoing coronarography and ambulatory elderly subjects from OASI cohort. RESULTS Folate deficit was more frequent in the coronarography population than in the elderly ambulatory volunteers and produced a higher concentration of homocysteine (19.3 ± 6.8 vs. 15.3 ± 5.6, P<0.001). Subjects with homocysteine in the upper quartile (≥ 18 μmol/L) had higher concentrations of NT-pro-BNP (or BNP in ambulatory subjects) and of short chain-, medium chain-, and long chain-acylcarnitines, compared to those in the lower quartile (≤ 12 μmol/L), in both populations (P<0.001). Homocysteine and NT-pro-BNP were positively correlated with short chain-, medium chain-, long chain-acylcarnitines and with acylcarnitine ratios indicative of decreased mitochondrial acyldehydrogenase activities (P<0.001). In multivariate analysis, homocysteine and long chain acylcarnitines were two interacting determinants of NT-pro-BNP, in addition to left ventricular ejection fraction, body mass index, creatinine and folate. CONCLUSIONS This study showed that homocysteine predicts increased NT-pro-BNP (or BNP) through a link with impaired mitochondrial fatty oxidation, in two contrasted populations.

Abstract
The remethylation of homocyteine into methionine is catalyzed either by methionine synthase (MTR) or by betaine-homocysteine methyltransferase (BHMT), in the liver. Choline/betaine deficiency and impaired BHMT pathway have been associated with hepatocellular carcinogenesis, in animal models. The molecular mechanisms that impair the BHMT pathway are unknown. We aimed to investigate BHMT, BHMT2, and MTR expression in HepG2 cells and human hepatocarcinoma tissues. Transcripts were quantified by RT-qPCR and splicing was assessed by analysis of exon junctions and sequencing of variants. Protein expression was studied by Western Blot, immunohistochemistry and enzyme activity. Tumor tissue was compared with surrounding healthy tissue. RT-qPCR of HepG2 cells and of tumor samples showed a strong decrease of transcripts of BHMT and BHMT2, compared to normal. MTR transcript levels were not different. The decreased BHMT expression resulted from the transcription of a splicing variant that produced a frameshift in exon 4, with a premature termination codon in exon 5 and a loss of function of the gene. This splicing variant did not fit with any mechanism resulting from known splicing consensus sequences and was not detected in normal adult and fetal liver. Consistently, BHMT activity was abolished in HepG2 and protein expression was not detectable in HepG2 and in 5 of the 6 tumor samples, compared to normal tissues. In conclusion, a transcription variant of exon 4 produces a loss of function of BHMT in human hepatocarcinoma. Whether this abnormal transcription of BHMT is part or consequence of liver carcinogenesis should deserve further investigations.

Abstract
Cardiomyopathies occur by mechanisms that involve inherited and acquired metabolic disorders. Both folate and vitamin B12 deficiencies are associated with left ventricular dysfunction, but mechanisms that underlie these associations are not known. However, folate and vitamin B12 are methyl donors needed for the synthesis of S-adenosylmethionine, the substrate required for the activation by methylation of regulators of energy metabolism. We investigated the consequences of a diet lacking methyl donors in the myocardium of weaning rats from dams subjected to deficiency during gestation and lactation. Positron emission tomography (PET), microscope and metabolic examinations evidenced a myocardium hypertrophy, with cardiomyocyte enlargement, disturbed mitochondrial alignment, lipid droplets, decreased respiratory activity of complexes I and II and decreased S-adenosylmethionine:S-adenosylhomocysteine ratio. The increased concentrations of triglycerides and acylcarnitines were consistent with a deficit in fatty acid oxidation. These changes were explained by imbalanced acetylation/methylation of PGC-1α, through decreased expression of SIRT1 and PRMT1 and decreased S-adenosylmethionine:S-adenosylhomocysteine ratio, and by decreased expression of PPARα and ERRα. The main changes of the myocardium proteomic study were observed for proteins regulated by PGC-1α, PPARs and ERRα. These proteins, namely trifunctional enzyme subunit α-complex, short chain acylCoA dehydrogenase, acylCoA thioesterase 2, fatty acid binding protein-3, NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) flavoprotein 2, NADH dehydrogenase (ubiquinone) 1α-subunit 10 and Hspd1 protein, are involved in fatty acid oxidation and mitochondrial respiration. In conclusion, the methyl donor deficiency produces detrimental effects on fatty acid oxidation and energy metabolism of myocardium through imbalanced methylation/acetylation of PGC-1α and decreased expression of PPARα and ERRα. These data are of pathogenetic relevance to perinatal cardiomyopathies.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vitamin B12 is indispensable for proper brain functioning and cytosolic synthesis of S-adenosylmethionine. Whether its deficiency produces effects on viability and apoptosis of neurons remains unknown. There is a particular interest in investigating these effects in Parkinson disease where Levodopa treatment is known to increase the consumption of S-adenosylmethionine. To cause deprivation of vitamin B12, we have recently developed a cell model that produces decreased synthesis of S-adenosylmethionine by anchoring transcobalamin (TCII) to the reticulum through its fusion with Oleosin (OLEO). METHODOLOGY Gene constructs including transcobalamin-oleosin (TCII-OLEO) and control constructs, green fluorescent protein-transcobalamin-oleosin (GFP-TCII-OLEO), oleosin-transcobalamin (OLEO-TCII), TCII and OLEO were used for expression in N1E-115 cells (mouse neuroblastoma) and in substantia nigra of adult rats, using a targeted transfection with a Neurotensin polyplex system. We studied the viability and the apoptosis in the transfected cells and targeted tissue. The turning behavior was evaluated in the rats transfected with the different plasmids. PRINCIPAL FINDINGS The transfection of N1E-115 cells by the TCII-OLEO-expressing plasmid significantly affected cell viability and increased immunoreactivity of cleaved Caspase-3. No change in propidium iodide uptake (used as a necrosis marker) was observed. The transfected rats lost neurons immunoreactive to tyrosine hydroxylase. The expression of TCII-OLEO was observed in cells immunoreactive to tyrosine hydroxylase of the substantia nigra, with a superimposed expression of cleaved Caspase-3. These cellular and tissular effects were not observed with the control plasmids. Rats transfected with TCII-OLEO expressing plasmid presented with a significantly higher number of turns, compared with those transfected with the other plasmids. CONCLUSIONS/SIGNIFICANCE In conclusion, the TCII-OLEO transfection was responsible for apoptosis in N1E-115 cells and rat substantia nigra and for Parkinson-like phenotype. This suggests evaluating whether vitamin B12 deficit could aggravate the PD in patients under Levodopa therapy by impairing S-adenosylmethionine synthesis in substantia nigra.

Abstract
Deficiency in nutritional determinants of homocysteine (HCY) metabolism, such as vitamin B(12) and folate, during pregnancy is known to influence HCY levels in the progeny, which in turn may exert adverse effects during development, including liver defects. Since short hypoxia has been shown to induce tolerance to subsequent stress in various cells including hepatocytes, and as vitamins B deficiency and hypoxic episodes may simultaneously occur in neonates, we aimed to investigate the influence of brief postnatal hypoxia (100% N(2) for 5 min) on the liver of rat pups born from dams fed a deficient regimen, i.e., depleted in vitamins B(12), B(2), folate, and choline. Four experimental groups were studied: control, hypoxia, deficiency, and hypoxia + deficiency. Although hypoxia transiently stimulated HCY catabolic pathways, it was associated with a progressive increase of hyperhomocysteinemia in deficient pups, with a fall of cystathionine beta-synthase activity at 21 days. At this stage, inducible NO synthase activity was dramatically increased and glutathione reductase decreased, specifically in the group combining hypoxia and deficiency. Also, hypoxia enhanced the deficiency-induced drop of the S-adenosylmethionine/S-adenosylhomocysteine ratio. In parallel, early exposure to the methyl-deficient regimen induced oxidative stress and led to hepatic steatosis, which was found to be more severe in pups additionally exposed to hypoxia. In conclusion, brief neonatal hypoxia may accentuate the long-term adverse effects of impaired HCY metabolism in the liver resulting from an inadequate nutritional regimen during pregnancy, and our data emphasize the importance of early factors on adult disease.

Abstract
Cystathionine beta synthase (CBS) deficiency is a metabolic disorder that is biochemically characterized by severe hyperhomocysteinemia. In order to show the effects of CBS deficiency onto the activity of the enzymes involved in the remethylation pathway, we used the well characterized genetic model of severe hyperhomocysteinemia in mice. We showed that CBS deficiency in mice reduced hepatic methionine synthase and betaine-homocysteine methyltransferase activities, whereas 5,10-methylene tetrahydrofolate reductase activity was increased.

Abstract
Hyperhomocysteinemia has been identified as a risk factor for neurological disorders. To study the influence of early deficiency in nutritional determinants of hyperhomocysteinemia on the developing rat brain, dams were fed a standard diet or a diet lacking methyl groups during gestation and lactation. Homocysteinemia progressively increased in the offspring of the deficient group and at 21 days reached 13.3+/-3.7 micromol/L versus 6.8+/-0.3 micromol/L in controls. Homocysteine accumulated in both neurons and astrocytes of selective brain structures including the hippocampus, the cerebellum, the striatum, and the neurogenic subventricular zone. Most homocysteine-positive cells expressed p53 and displayed fragmented DNA indicative of apoptosis. Righting reflex and negative geotaxis revealed a delay in the onset of integration capacities in the deficient group. Between 19 and 21 days, a poorer success score was recorded in deficient animals in a locomotor coordination test. A switch to normal food after weaning allowed restoration of normal homocysteinemia. Nevertheless, at 80 days of age, the exploratory behavior in the elevated-plus maze and the learning and memory behavior in the eight-arm maze revealed that early vitamin B deprivation is associated with persistent functional disabilities, possibly resulting from the ensuing neurotoxic effects of homocysteine.

Abstract
Folates belong to the vitamin B group and are involved in a large number of biochemical processes, particularly in the metabolism of homocysteine. Dietary or genetically determined folate deficiency leads to mild hyperhomocysteinemia, which has been associated with various pathologies. Molecular mechanisms of homocysteine-induced cellular dysfunction include increased inflammatory cytokine expression, altered nitric oxide bioavailability, induction of oxidative stress, activation of apoptosis and defective methylation. Whereas the involvement of folate metabolism and homocysteine in ageing-related diseases, in several developmental abnormalities and in pregnancy complications has given rise to a large amount of scientific work, the role of these biochemical factors in the earlier stages of mammalian reproduction and the possible preventive effects of folate supplementation on fertility have, until recently, been much less investigated. In the present article, the possible roles of folates and homocysteine in male and female subfertility and related diseases are systematically reviewed, with regard to the epidemiological, pathological, pharmacological and experimental data of the literature from the last 25 years.

Abstract
Elevated plasma homocysteine has been linked to pregnancy complications and developmental diseases. Whereas hyperhomocysteinemia is frequently observed in populations at risk of malnutrition, hypoxia may alter the remethylation of homocysteine in hepatocytes. We aimed to investigate the combined influences of early deficiency in nutritional determinants of hyperhomocysteinemia and of neonatal hypoxia on homocysteine metabolic pathways in developing rats. Dams were fed a standard diet or a diet deficient in vitamins B12, B2, folate, month, and choline from 1 mo before pregnancy until weaning of the offspring. The pups were divided into four treatment groups corresponding to "no hypoxia/standard diet," "hypoxia (100% N2 for 5 min at postnatal d 1)/standard diet," "no hypoxia/deficiency," and "hypoxia/deficiency," and homocysteine metabolism was analyzed in their liver at postnatal d 21. Hypoxia increased plasma homocysteine in deficient pups (21.2 +/- 1.6 versus 13.3 +/- 1.2 microM, p < 0.05). Whereas mRNA levels of cystathionine beta-synthase remained unaltered, deficiency reduced the enzyme activity (48.7 +/- 2.9 versus 83.6 +/- 6.3 nmol/h/mg, p < 0.01), an effect potentiated by hypoxia (29.4 +/- 4.7 nmol/h/mg, p < 0.05). The decrease in methylene-tetrahydrofolate reductase activity measured in deficient pups was attenuated by hypoxia (p < 0.05), and methionine-adenosyltransferase activity was slightly reduced only in the "hypoxia/deficiency" group (p < 0.05). Finally, hypoxia enhanced the deficiency-induced drop of the S-adenosylmethionine/S-adenosylhomocysteine ratio, which is known to influence DNA methylation and gene expression. In conclusion, neonatal hypoxia may increase homocysteinemia mainly by decreasing homocysteine transsulfuration in developing rats under methyl-deficient regimen. It could therefore potentiate the well-known adverse effects of hyperhomocysteinemia.

Abstract
The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of a 8-week of swim training on total plasma homocysteine and cysteine levels in 16 male Sprague-Dawley rats aged 17 weeks. We also evaluated the activity of hepatic cystathionine beta-synthase (CBS), an enzyme involved in the metabolism of Hcy, the concentration of plasma glutathione, taurine, and a fraction of vitamin B6: the pyridoxal 5-phosphate (PLP). After one week of acclimatization, rats were randomly divided into two groups: 8 non-trained (NTR) and 8 trained rats (TR). Following the training period, body weight gain was lower in TR than in NTR. Plasma homocysteine did not differ among groups while significantly lower plasma cysteine and taurine levels were found in TR (157.83 +/- 8.6 micromol/L; 133.01 +/- 9.32 micromol/L; P < 0.05) compared with data of NTR (176.19 +/- 4.9 micromol/L; 162.57 +/- 8.16 micromol/L; P < 0.05). No significant changes in hepatic CBS activity were observed in TR compared with NTR. Moreover, values for plasma glutathione and PLP concentrations were not affected by training.These results indicate that training reduces plasma cysteine and taurine levels whereas it does not modify other studied parameters. Thus, physical training may regulate cysteine metabolism.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Methionine synthase (MTR) synthesizes methionine from homocysteine, using cobalamin as a cofactor and 5-methyltetrahydrofolate as a cosubstrate. AIM To determine the influence of homocystine (Hcy, dimer of homocysteine) in the presence of either cobalamin or methionine on the transcription and the activity of methionine synthase in Caco-2, a human adenocarcinoma cell line. METHODS Methionine synthase activity and quantification of its mRNA by real-time RT-PCR were determined in cells cultivated under four differents conditions: Hcy with cobalamin (Hcy+ Cbl+), Hcy with methionine (Hcy+Met+), methionine with Cbl (Met+ Cbl+) and methionine only (Met+). RESULTS Activity (nmol/h/mg protein) was maximal in cells cultivated in Hcy+Cbl+ (2.45 +/- 0.35), compared to cells cultivated in Hcy+Met+ (0.18 +/- 0.01, p<0.001), in Met+ Cbl+ (1.60 +/- 0.06, p<0.05), and in Met+ (0.40 +/- 0.05, p<0.001), suggesting an adaptation of the cells to requirement in synthesized methionine. The mRNA level of MTR in Hcy+ Cbl+ and Hcy+Met+ (2.82 +/-0.49 and 3.33 +/- 0.48 AU, respectively ) was about 2.5 / 3.0-fold higher than that in Met+ Cbl+ and in Met+ (1.00 +/-0.13 and 1.20 +/-0.20 AU, respectively, p<0.001). CONCLUSION Methionine synthase expression of Caco-2 cell is under a transcriptional control influenced by Hcy.

Abstract
We investigated the influence of hypothyroidism on homocysteine metabolism in rats, focusing on a hypothetical deficient synthesis of FAD by riboflavin kinases. Animals were allocated in control group (n = 7), thyroidectomized rats (n = 6), rats with diet deficient in vitamin B2, B9, B12, choline and methionine (n = 7), thyroidectomized rats with deficient diet (n = 9). Homocysteine was decreased in operated rats (2.6 +/- 1.01 vs. 4.05 +/- 1.0 mumol/L, P = 0.02) and increased in deficient diet rats (29.56 +/- 4.52 vs. 4.05 +/- 1.0 micromol/L, P = 0.001), when compared to control group. Erythrocyte-Glutathione-Reductase-Activation-Coefficient (index of FAD deficiency) was increased in thyroidectomized or deficient diet rats (P = 0.004 for both). Methylenetetrahydrofolate-reductase and methionine-synthase activities were decreased in thyroidectomized rats but not in those subjected to deficient diet. Cystathionine-beta-synthase was increased only in operated rats. Taken together, these results showed a defective re-methylation in surgical hypothyroidism, which was due in part to a defective synthesis of vitamin B2 coenzymes. This defective pathway was overcompensated by the increased Cystathionine-beta-synthase activity.

Abstract
BACKGROUND/AIMS The respective influence of folate and vitamin B12 deficiency on MTR activity and transcription, and on DNA methylation is not clearly established. The aim of this study was to assess the respective influence of folate and vitamin B12 deficiency on MTR transcription and activity, and on DNA methylation. METHODS Sixty-one rats were administered normal diet or diet deficient in choline, methionine, folic acid and vitamin B12. Forty-seven of them underwent total gastrectomy or ileal resection. RESULTS Low vitamin B12 was observed only in gastrectomized rats. Low folate was observed in rats under deficient diet. Total MTR activity (holo- + apoenzyme) was lowered only with vitamin B12 level <200 pmol/l (p=0.0002), while the ratios of total vs. holo-MTR activity and of transcripts MTR vs. GAPDH (RT-PCR) were unchanged. Vitamin B12 was the single determinant of low MTR (lower quartile, odds ratio=15.75, p=0.0017). Low MTR and low vitamin B12 were the two determinants of DNA hypomethylation (lower quartile) (odds ratio=17.07, p=0.0006, and odds ratio=7.31, p=0.006, respectively). CONCLUSION Vitamin B12 affects MTR expression by a non-transcriptional mechanism different from a protective effect on MTR proteolysis. It is also a strong determinant of DNA hypomethylation.

Abstract
Transcobalamin (TC), a vitamin B12 (cobalamin, Cbl) binding protein in plasma, promotes the cellular uptake of the vitamin by receptor-mediated endocytosis. Inherited TC deficiency is an autosomal recessive disorder characterized by megaloblastic anaemia caused by cellular vitamin B12 depletion. It may be accompanied by neurological complications, including a delay in psychomotor and mental development. This report describes three sisters with inherited TC deficiency resulting from a splicing defect in the TC gene. A point mutation was identified in intron 3 splice site of the TC gene that activates a cryptic splice site in exon 3. The transcript generated has an in-frame deletion of 81 nucleotides and the resulting truncated protein is unstable and not secreted by the cells. Until now, genetic studies have been reported in only five patients with TC deficiency and the molecular defect was different in each of them, which gives evidence for a genetic heterogeneity of the disease.

Abstract
Deficiencies of the major dietary sources of methyl groups, methionine and choline, lead to the formation of liver cancer in rodents. The most widely investigated hypothesis has been that dietary methyl insufficiency results in abnormal DNA methylation. Vitamin B12 and folate also play important roles in DNA methylation since these two coenzymes are required for the synthesis of methionine and S-adenosyl methionine, the common methyl donor required for the maintenance of methylation patterns in DNA. The aim of this study was to review the effects of methyl-deficient diets on DNA methylation and liver carcinogenesis in rats, and to evaluate the role of vitamin B12 status in defining carcinogenicity of a methyl-deficient diet. Several studies have shown that a methyl-deficient diet influences global DNA methylation. Evidence from in vivo studies has not clearly established a link between vitamin B12 and DNA methylation. We reported that vitamin B12 and low methionine synthase activity were the two determinants of DNA hypomethylation. Choline- or choline/methionine-deficient diets have been shown to cause hepatocellular carcinoma in 20-50% of animals after 12-24 months. In contrast, the effect of vitamin B12 withdrawal, in addition to choline, methionine and folate, induced hepatocellular carcinoma in less than 5% of rats.
