CpG site-specific methylation as epi-biomarkers for the prediction of health risk in PAHs-exposed populations.

TL;DR: In this paper , the role of altered DNA methylation in prediction of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) exposure-induced genetic damage was addressed, including diesel engine exhausts (low level) and coke oven emissions (high level) exposed subjects.

Epigenetics and Testicular Cancer: Bridging the Gap Between Fundamental Biology and Patient Care

TL;DR: The present study provides a comprehensive review of the epigenetic mechanisms–DNA methylation, histone post-translational modifications, bivalent marks, non-coding RNA–associated with TGCT susceptibility, initiation, progression and response to chemotherapy.
Journal Article

Molecular mechanisms involved in TGF-β1-induced Muscle-derived stem cells differentiation to smooth muscle cells.

TL;DR: The molecular mechanisms involved in transforming growth factor beta 1 (TGF-β1)-induced myogenic stem cell differentiation to smooth muscle cells and Sud2, Pcdh19, and Nat14 are potential core genes involved in cell differentiation are investigated.

DeepMOCCA: A pan-cancer prognostic model identifies personalized prognostic markers through graph attention and multi-omics data integration

TL;DR: DeepMOCCA can predict cancer survival time based entirely on features of the tumor at a cellular and molecular level and raises the possibility of personalized therapy based on the gene or network dominating the prognosis for that patient.
Journal ArticleDOI

Changes of alternative splicing in Arabidopsis thaliana grown under different CO2 concentrations

TL;DR: This the first study to explore the changes of AS in plants in response to elevated CO2, which found that AS increased with the rise in CO2 concentration and that the DAS genes were associated mainly with the stimulus response.

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

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.
