Epigenetic plasticity is a driver of heritable pollution tolerance in Atlantic killifish

Mathia Colwell, Melissa K. Drown, Nicole Flack, Carrie Walls, Christopher D. Faulk, Samantha Carrothers, Emma Weeks, Caren Weinhouse

The paper shows that PAH-tolerant Atlantic killifish embryos have reduced DNA methylation plasticity compared to sensitive embryos, with implications for heritable epigenetic adaptation.

In vitro evidence for bisphenol A as a human liver carcinogen: Environmentally relevant doses inhibit cancer protective ESR1 signaling in a human liver cell line

Emma Weeks, Scott R. Kennedy, Robert P. Searles, Samantha Carrothers, Brett A. Davis, Lucia Carbone, Mitchell S. Turker, R. Stephen Lloyd, Caren Weinhouse

This study shows that bisphenol A inhibits cancer-protective ESR1 signaling in human liver cells at environmentally relevant doses, suggesting it promotes liver cancer.

An epigenetic memory at the CYP1A gene in cancer-resistant, pollution-adapted killifish

Samantha Carrothers, Rafael Trevisan, Nishad Jayasundara, Nicole Pelletier, Emma Weeks, Joel N. Meyer, Richard T. Di Giulio, Caren Weinhouse

The paper studies epigenetic memory at the CYP1A gene in PAH-tolerant killifish, showing reduced gene induction and persistent expression linked to cancer risk.
