Altered Histone Acetylation Is Associated with Age-Dependent Memory Impairment in Mice

TL;DR: It is shown that memory disturbances in the aging brain of the mouse are associated with altered hippocampal chromatin plasticity, and data suggest that deregulated H4K12 acetylation may represent an early biomarker of an impaired genome-environment interaction in the Aging mouse brain.
Journal ArticleDOI

DNA methylation changes in plasticity genes accompany the formation and maintenance of memory

TL;DR: It is found that histone modifications predominantly changed during memory acquisition and correlated surprisingly little with changes in gene expression, providing evidence for a molecular framework ofMemory acquisition and maintenance, wherein DNA methylation could alter the expression and splicing of genes involved in functional plasticity and synaptic wiring.
Journal ArticleDOI

Reducing HDAC6 ameliorates cognitive deficits in a mouse model for Alzheimer's disease.

TL;DR: It is reported that mice lacking HDAC6 are cognitively normal but reducing endogenousHDAC6 levels restores learning and memory and α‐tubulin acetylation in a mouse model for Alzheimer's disease (AD).
Journal ArticleDOI

Melatonin's unique radical scavenging properties – roles of its functional substituents as revealed by a comparison with its structural analogs

TL;DR: Melatonin's redox chemistry is compared with that of several structural analogs, indicating that radical chain termination by O2·− is considerably more efficient with melatonin, which was much more rapidly oxidized than the 5‐hydroxylated and non‐substituted analogs.
