Summary of Meeting:
Transient nutritional exposures during critical developmental periods can induce permanent alterations in epigenetic regulation which program metabolic and other biological networks, with lifelong consequences. During other life stages nutrition can dynamically regulate epigenetic processes. There is increasing evidence that gene-nutrient interactions underlie susceptibility to various human diseases, through mechanisms that include interindividual variation in epigenomic profiles. The interaction of nutrition, epigenetics, and human disease is a rapidly evolving area of research with many fundamental outstanding questions and abundant opportunities to translate basic science discoveries to clinical and public health application. A meeting that brings together leaders in human nutrition, human genetics and epigenetics, clinical and animal studies of disease pathogenesis, inborn errors of metabolism, methyl metabolism, stem cell programming, genome stability, transcription, and developmental biology will accelerate and potentially transform research in this field.

Nutrient Regulation of the Epigenetic Machinery
Meeting has ended...abstracts no longer viewable online. Purchase an Abstract Book from this meeting
NOTE: The establishment and maintenance of chromatin methylation is influenced by the total cellular methylation capacity. This capacity is determined by the expression level of DNA and histone methyltransferases, demethylases and the availability of the methyl donor S-adenosylmethionine.` There is increasing evidence that the expression of DNA and histone methyltransferases are responsive to dietary methionine, choline and other nutrients, and modest changes in methyltransferase expression levels have profound impact on chromatin methylation and gene expression. This session will investigate the mechanisms underlying the regulation of methyltransferase expression by nutrients, and its effect on chromatin methylation, gene expression and stem cell programming.

Nutrition and Epigenetics in Obesity
Meeting has ended...abstracts no longer viewable online. Purchase an Abstract Book from this meeting
NOTE: Epigenetic mechanisms are likely to play an important role in body weight regulation. Animal models and emerging human data indicate that early environmental exposures (e.g. high-calorie diets, maternal obesity, etc.) can influence the development of body weight regulatory mechanisms, and thereby affect risk of obesity throughout life. The role of epigenetics in central and peripheral body weight regulatory mechanisms is attracting extensive attention. This session will cover the latest advances in clinical studies and animal models of ‘nutritional programming’ of obesity, and epigenetic mechanisms in central and peripheral body weight regulation.

Nutrient, Methyl Metabolism and Epigenetic Interactions
Meeting has ended...abstracts no longer viewable online. Purchase an Abstract Book from this meeting
NOTE: S-adenosylmethionine (SAM) is the universal methyl donor for chromatin methylation. S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH) is the product of methylation reactions, and is a potent inhibitor of both DNA and histone methyltransferases. Therefore, the SAM/SAH ratio has been described as the cellular metabolic methylation potential. The SAM/SAH ratio is regulated over a broad dynamic range, and is sensitive and responsive to multiple nutrients. This session will cover recent advances in our understanding of nutrient regulation of the SAM/SAH ratio in the cell, and its impact on genome methylation, stem cell programming and transcription.

Nutrition and Developmental Epigenetics in the Endocrine Pancreas
Meeting has ended...abstracts no longer viewable online. Purchase an Abstract Book from this meeting
NOTE: The vast majority of type 2 diabetes is associated with obesity, a nutritionally-induced disease. Understanding epigenetic regulation in the endocrine pancreas could open the door to effective approaches to preventing or treating type 2 diabetes. This session will highlight recent mechanistic insights obtained by epigenomic profiling of human endocrine pancreas cell-types, epigenetic hallmarks of endocrine pancreas dysfunction, and epigenetic mechanisms of nutritional programming of impaired glucose homeostasis.

Nutrients and Allelic Targeting of Epigenetic Signatures
Meeting has ended...abstracts no longer viewable online. Purchase an Abstract Book from this meeting
NOTE: Various nutrient exposures can influence the expression of discrete genes and pathways by altering methylation patterns at specific genetic loci. Nutrients target specific loci for alterations in chromatin methylation and/or demethylation through nuclear receptors, signal transduction pathways and nuclear import processes. This session will focus on the fundamental mechanisms whereby nutrients regulate gene expression by targeted alterations in chromatin methylation, and its role in physiological adaptation maintaining cellular homeostasis.

Nutritional Modulation of Stem Cell Programming
Meeting has ended...abstracts no longer viewable online. Purchase an Abstract Book from this meeting
NOTE: Stem cells have the capacity to both self-renew and differentiate into specific cell types. In contrast to the pluripotent stem cells found only in the early embryo, lineage-restricted stem cells such as hematopoietic stem cells and neural stem cells persist into adulthood, and have the ability to differentiate into limited specific cell types. Embryonic and lineage-restricted stem cells offer excellent opportunities to understand fundamental mechanisms underlying nutritional influences on differentiation. Moreover, in cell types that are continuously replaced throughout life (like blood and intestinal epithelium) persistent effects of early nutrition must occur at the stem cell level. This session will focus on developmental epigenetics in embryonic and lineage-restricted stem cells, and nutritional influences on these processes.
