Acute Exercise Remodels Promoter Methylation in Human Skeletal Muscle

TLDR
Results provide evidence that acute gene activation is associated with a dynamic change in DNA methylation in skeletal muscle and suggest that DNA hypomethylation is an early event in contraction-induced gene activation.

Exercise Metabolism and the Molecular Regulation of Skeletal Muscle Adaptation

TL;DR: The metabolic responses and molecular mechanisms that underpin the adaptatation of skeletal muscle to acute exercise and exercise training are reviewed.
Journal ArticleDOI

Integrative Biology of Exercise

TL;DR: The application of molecular techniques to exercise biology has provided greater understanding of the multiplicity and complexity of cellular networks involved in exercise responses, and recent discoveries offer perspectives on the mechanisms by which muscle "communicates" with other organs and mediates the beneficial effects of exercise on health and performance.

Repurposing the CRISPR-Cas9 system for targeted DNA methylation

TL;DR: A CRISPR-Cas9-based tool for specific DNA methylation consisting of deactivated Cas9 (dCas9) nuclease and catalytic domain of the DNA methyltransferase DNMT3A targeted by co–expression of a guide RNA to any 20 bp DNA sequence followed by the NGG trinucleotide is developed.

A Six Months Exercise Intervention Influences the Genome-wide DNA Methylation Pattern in Human Adipose Tissue

TL;DR: The genome-wide pattern of DNA methylation in human adipose tissue from 23 healthy men, with a previous low level of physical activity, before and after a six months exercise intervention is described, potentially affecting adipocyte metabolism.

Human DNA methylomes at base resolution show widespread epigenomic differences

TL;DR: The first genome-wide, single-base-resolution maps of methylated cytosines in a mammalian genome, from both human embryonic stem cells and fetal fibroblasts, along with comparative analysis of messenger RNA and small RNA components of the transcriptome, several histone modifications, and sites of DNA-protein interaction for several key regulatory factors were presented in this article.

Epigenetic Reprogramming in Mammalian Development

TL;DR: What is known about reprogramming in mammals and how it might relate to developmental potency and imprinting are discussed, including whether or not methylation is involved in the control of gene expression during normal development.

Perceptions of epigenetics

TL;DR: During the past year, more than 2,500 articles, numerous scientific meetings and a new journal were devoted to the subject of epigenetics, portrayed by the popular press as a revolutionary new science — an antidote to the idea that the authors are hard-wired by their genes.

Genomic DNA methylation: the mark and its mediators.

TL;DR: The role of DNA methylation in controlling gene expression is illuminated and its links with histone modification and chromatin remodelling are strengthened, and the mechanisms by which it is targeted to specific regions of the genome are understood.

Linking DNA methylation and histone modification: patterns and paradigms

TL;DR: Relationships between DNA methylation and histone modification have implications for understanding normal development as well as somatic cell reprogramming and tumorigenesis.
