Regulation and Functional Significance of 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine in Cancer

Epigenomes, 2017
Epigenetic modes of gene regulation are important for physiological conditions and its aberrant changes can lead to disease like cancer. 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is an oxidized form of 5-methylcytosine (5mC) catalyzed by Ten Eleven Translocation ...

Exaggerated CpH methylation in the autism-affected brain. [PDF]

, 2017
BackgroundThe etiology of autism, a complex, heritable, neurodevelopmental disorder, remains largely unexplained. Given the unexplained risk and recent evidence supporting a role for epigenetic mechanisms in the development of autism, we explored the ...

Integration of epigenetics into ecotoxicology: insights and fundamental research needs

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 826-847, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Epigenetics refers to heritable changes in genome function that occur without direct alterations to the DNA sequence. A multitude of environmental contaminants can influence the epigenetic marks of a genome. Changes of epigenetic marks including DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non‐coding RNAs can induce alterations at the gene ...

Tet proteins: on track towards DNA demethylation?

Biomolecular Concepts, 2012
Dynamic DNA methylation is a prerequisite for many developmental processes and maintenance of cellular integrity. In mammals however, mechanisms of active DNA demethylation have for long been elusive.

Recognition of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine by the Uhrf1 SRA domain.

PLoS ONE, 2011
Recent discovery of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) in genomic DNA raises the question how this sixth base is recognized by cellular proteins. In contrast to the methyl-CpG binding domain (MBD) of MeCP2, we found that the SRA domain of Uhrf1, an essential

The Emerging Role of Ten-Eleven Translocation 1 in Epigenetic Responses to Environmental Exposures. [PDF]

, 2020
Mounting evidence from epidemiological studies and animal models has linked exposures to environmental factors to changes in epigenetic markers, especially in DNA methylation.

Cytosine 5-Hydroxymethylation of the LZTS1 Gene Is Reduced in Breast Cancer [PDF]

, 2013
Change of DNA cytosine methylation (5mC) is an early event in the development of cancer, and the recent discovery of a 5-hydroxymethylated form (5hmC) of cytosine suggests a regulatory epigenetic role that might be different from 5-methylcytosine.

Liquid biopsy epigenetics: establishing a molecular profile based on cell‐free DNA

Molecular Oncology, Volume 20, Issue 3, Page 588-610, March 2026.
Cell‐free DNA (cfDNA) fragments in plasma from cancer patients carry epigenetic signatures reflecting their cells of origin. These epigenetic features include DNA methylation, nucleosome modifications, and variations in fragmentation. This review describes the biological properties of each feature and explores optimal strategies for harnessing cfDNA ...

Mammalian Proteome Profiling Reveals Readers and Antireaders of Strand‐Symmetric and ‐Asymmetric 5‐Hydroxymethylcytosine‐Modifications in DNA

Advanced Science, Volume 13, Issue 16, 18 March 2026.
We investigate by proteomics studies how strand‐symmetric and ‐asymmetric cytosine 5‐modifications in DNA are selectively recognized by the nuclear proteome. Using promoter probes with defined modification patterns, we identify tissue‐specific reader proteinsincluding MYC, MAX, and RFX5that discriminate 5‐hydroxymethylcytosine symmetry and sequence ...

Vitamin C increases 5-hydroxymethylcytosine level and inhibits the growth of bladder cancer

Clinical Epigenetics, 2018
Background 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) is converted from 5-methylcytosine (5mC) by a group of enzymes termed ten-eleven translocation (TET) family dioxygenases.
