Pathogenic Roles of Autoantibodies and Aberrant Epigenetic Regulation of Immune and Connective Tissue Cells in the Tissue Fibrosis of Patients with Systemic Sclerosis.
Chang-Youh Tsai,Song-Chou Hsieh,Tsai-Hung Wu,Ko-Jen Li,Chieh-Yu Shen,Hsien-Tzung Liao,Cheng-Han Wu,Yu-Min Kuo,Cheng-Shiun Lu,Chia-Li Yu +9 more
TL;DR: This review briefly describes the autoimmune features of systemic sclerosis and the potential pathogenic contributors including genetic/epigenetic predisposition, and environmental factors, and discusses limited data relevant to the role of long non-coding RNAs in tissue-fibrosis in SSc.
Journal ArticleDOI
Maternal obesity increases DNA methylation and decreases RNA methylation in the human placenta
TL;DR: In this paper , the changes in epigenetic markers in placentas from obese pregnant women following delivery by Caesarean-section at term were investigated by using varied approaches including immunocytochemistry staining, Western blot, RT-qPCR, and ELISA.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genome-Wide DNA Methylation in Policemen Working in Cities Differing by Major Sources of Air Pollution
Katerina Honkova,Andrea Rossnerova,Irena Chvojkova,Alena Milcova,Hasmik Margaryan,Anna Pastorková,Antonin Ambroz,Pavel Rossner,Vítězslav Jiřík,Jiri Rubes,Radim J. Sram,Jan Topinka +11 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the differences in the type of air pollution between localities can affect a unique change in DNA methylation profiles across the human genome.
Journal ArticleDOI
Next-Generation Genome-Scale Metabolic Modeling through Integration of Regulatory Mechanisms
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors discuss 22 integrative GEM modeling methods and discuss challenges in constructing GEMs with regulation and highlight areas that need to be addressed for the successful modeling of metabolic regulation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Journal ArticleDOI
DNA methyltransferases Dnmt3a and Dnmt3b are essential for de novo methylation and mammalian development.
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that two recently identified DNA methyltransferases, DnMT3a and Dnmt3b, are essential for de novo methylation and for mouse development and play important roles in normal development and disease.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epigenetic programming by maternal behavior.
Ian C. G. Weaver,Nadia Cervoni,Frances A. Champagne,Ana C. D'Alessio,Shakti Sharma,Jonathan R. Seckl,Sergiy Dymov,Moshe Szyf,Michael J. Meaney +8 more
TL;DR: It is shown that an epigenomic state of a gene can be established through behavioral programming, and it is potentially reversible, suggesting a causal relation among epigenomicState, GR expression and the maternal effect on stress responses in the offspring.

TL;DR: It is shown here that TET1, a fusion partner of the MLL gene in acute myeloid leukemia, is a 2-oxoglutarate (2OG)- and Fe(II)-dependent enzyme that catalyzes conversion of 5mC to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (hmC) in cultured cells and in vitro.

Rett syndrome is caused by mutations in X-linked MECP2, encoding methyl-CpG-binding protein 2.
Ruthie E. Amir,Ignatia B. Van den Veyver,Mimi Wan,Charles Q. Tran,Uta Francke,Huda Y. Zoghbi +5 more
TL;DR: This study reports the first disease-causing mutations in RTT and points to abnormal epigenetic regulation as the mechanism underlying the pathogenesis of RTT.

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.
