The present study examined the effects of ageing, folate and alcohol on genomic and<jats:italic>p16<\/jats:italic>-specific DNA methylation, and<jats:italic>p16<\/jats:italic>expression in the murine colon. Old (aged 18 months;<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>70) and young (aged 4 months;<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic>70) male C57BL\/6 mice were pair-fed either a Lieber-DeCarli liquid diet with alcohol (18\u00a0% of energy), a Lieber-DeCarli diet with alcohol (18\u00a0%) and reduced folate (0\u00b725\u00a0mg folate\/l) or an isoenergetic control diet (0\u00b75\u00a0mg folate\/l) for 5 or 10 weeks. Genomic DNA methylation,<jats:italic>p16<\/jats:italic>promoter methylation and<jats:italic>p16<\/jats:italic>gene expression were analysed by liquid chromatography\u2013MS, methylation-specific PCR and real-time RT-PCR, respectively. Genomic DNA methylation was lower in the colon of old mice compared with young mice (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00\u00b702) at 10 weeks. Alcohol consumption did not alter genomic DNA methylation in the old mouse colon, whereas it tended to decrease genomic DNA methylation in young mice (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0=\u00a00\u00b708).<jats:italic>p16<\/jats:italic>Promoter methylation and expression were higher in the old mouse colon compared with the corresponding young groups. There was a positive correlation between<jats:italic>p16<\/jats:italic>promoter methylation and<jats:italic>p16<\/jats:italic>expression in the old mouse colon (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00\u00b702). In young mice the combination of alcohol and reduced dietary folate led to significantly decreased<jats:italic>p16<\/jats:italic>expression compared with the control group (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u00a0&lt;\u00a00\u00b702). In conclusion, ageing and chronic alcohol consumption alter genomic DNA methylation,<jats:italic>p16<\/jats:italic>promoter methylation and<jats:italic>p16<\/jats:italic>gene expression in the mouse colon, and dietary folate availability can further modify the relationship with alcohol in the young mouse.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1017\/s0007114510000322","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2010,3,8]],"date-time":"2010-03-08T09:42:41Z","timestamp":1268041361000},"page":"24-30","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":27,"title":["Ageing,
