The impact of sensory and motor enrichment on the epigenetic control of steroidogenic-related genes in rat hippocampus.

TL;DR: It is proposed that SE and ME differentially regulate the transcription of neurosteroidogenic enzymes through epigenetic mechanisms in young and aged rats.
Journal ArticleDOI

Substituents' effect in electron attachment to epigenetic modifications of cytosine

TL;DR: Using the inductive and mesomeric effects, the influence of each substituent over the molecule and on the resonances' positions was analyzed, and the π* lowest-lying orbitals and the electronic density over the molecules were analyzed.

Low-intensity pulsed ultrasound promotes angiogenesis via the AKT pathway and DNA methylation in human umbilical vein endothelial cells

- 01 Jan 2022 - 
TL;DR: In this article , the effects of low-intensity pulsed ultrasound (LIPUS) on the proliferation and angiogenic differentiation of the EC line EA were evaluated, and the results showed that LIPUS could induce cell proliferation, promote migration, and increase mRNA level inKDR and CD144.

Keloid: Genetic susceptibility and contributions of genetics and epigenetics to its pathogenesis

TL;DR: To establish a foundation for a better understanding of the genetics and epigenetics of keloids, current studies which are mostly related to heredity, genetic polymorphisms, predisposing gene, DNA methylation, and non-coding RNA are evaluated and summarized.

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.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

Conversion of 5-Methylcytosine to 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine in Mammalian DNA by MLL Partner TET1

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.

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.

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.
