Brn2 et Zic1 spécifient l'identité neuronale des cellules souches embryonnaires murines lors de la différenciation induite par l'acide rétinoïque

Sylvia Urban
TL;DR: L’utilisation de l’approche de differenciation in vitro associee a des techniques de genomique a haut debit (RNA-seq, ChIP-seq) a permis d’identifier des genes regules directement ou indirectement par Brn2.

Epigenetic Regulation of β Cell Identity and Dysfunction.

TL;DR: In this paper, a review of recent discoveries of the establishment and disruption of β cell-specific epigenetic signatures, and discuss the potential implication in therapeutic development is presented, as well as potential targets for the development of next generation therapy for type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) pathogenesis.

miRNA Profiling in the Chicken Liver under the Influence of Early Microbiota Stimulation with Probiotic, Prebiotic, and Synbiotic

TL;DR: In this article, the authors showed that early stimulation of the chicken microbiota with in ovo delivered synbiotics influenced gene expression and DNA methylation in the liver, and that miRNAs constitute an important component of the molecular mechanism of host-probiotic interaction in liver.

A SINE-VNTR-Alu in the LRIG2 Promoter Is Associated with Gene Expression at the Locus.

TL;DR: It is observed that increased allele dosage of SVA_LRIG2 was non-significantly associated with a decrease in transcription from the region and significantly associated with increased methylation of the CpG probe nearest to SVA_.
Journal ArticleDOI

New biomarkers from multiomics approaches: improving risk prediction of atrial fibrillation.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors focus on the studies of multi-omics profiles with AF risk and summarize recent advances in the discovery of novel biomarkers for AF through multiomics studies, and discuss limitations and future directions in risk assessment and discovery of therapeutic targets for AF.

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.

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.
