APRDX1 mutant allele causes a MMACHC secondary epimutation in cblC patients
Published: January, 2018

Abstract: To date, epimutations reported in man have been somatic and erased in germlines. Here, we identify a cause of the autosomal recessive cblC class of inborn errors of vitamin B12 metabolism that we name “epi-cblC”. The subjects are compo...

High resolution methylation analysis of the HoxA5 regulatory region in different somatic tissues of laboratory mouse during development
Published: January, 2017

Abstract: Homeobox genes encode a group of DNA binding regulatory proteins whose key function occurs in the spatial-temporal organization of genome during embryonic development and differentiation. The role of these Hox genes during ontogenesis makes it an ...

Deficient expression of JMJD1A histone demethylase in patients with round spermatid maturation arrest
Published: September, 2016

Abstract: JMJD1A (jumonji domain-containing 1A), a known histone H3K9 demethylase, has been identified as a critical epigenetic regulator in male germ cells, activating the sperm chromatin-packaging genes encoding protamines (PRM) and transition proteins (T...

Differential Incorporation of β-actin as A Component of RNA Polymerase II into Regulatory Regions of Stemness/Differentiation Genes in Retinoic Acid-Induced Differentiated Human Embryonic Carcinoma Cells
Published: July, 2016

Abstract: Objective Nuclear actin is involved in transcription regulation by recruitment of histone modifiers and chromatin remodelers to the regulatory regions of active genes. In recent years, further attention has been focused on the role of actin a...

Active and Repressive Chromatin-Associated Proteome after MPA Treatment and the Role of Midkine in Epithelial Monolayer Permeability
Published: April, 2016

Abstract: Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is prescribed to maintain allografts in organ-transplanted patients. However, gastrointestinal (GI) complications, particularly diarrhea, are frequently observed as a side effect following MPA therapy. We recently reported ...

Retinoic acid dependent histone 3 demethylation of the clustered HOX genes during neural differentiation of human embryonic stem cells
Published: November, 2012

Abstract: Gene activation of HOX clusters is an early event in embryonic development. These genes are highly expressed and been active in the vertebrate nervous system. Based on the presence of retinoic Acid Response Element (RARE) in regulatory region of m...

Epigenetic control of vascular smooth muscle cells in Marfan and non-Marfan thoracic aortic aneurysms.
Published: February, 2011

Abstract: AIMS: Human thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAAs) are characterized by extracellular matrix breakdown associated with progressive smooth muscle cell (SMC) rarefaction. These features are present in all types of TAA: monogenic forms [mainly Marfan syndr...

Evidence for a dynamic role of the linker histone variant H1x during retinoic acid-induced differentiation of NT2 cells.
Published: November, 2010

Abstract: The dynamics of chromatin structure are tightly regulated by multiple epigenetic mechanisms such as histone modifications and incorporation of histone variants. In the current work, differentiation of an embryonal carcinoma cell line, NT2, was ind...

Autonomous silencing of the imprinted Cdkn1c gene in stem cells
Published: April, 2010

Abstract: Parent-of-origin specific expression of imprinted genes relies on the differential DNA methylation of specific genomic regions. Differentially methylated regions (DMRs) acquire DNA methylation either during gametogenesis (primary DMR) or after fer...
