Metabotropic glutamate 2/3 receptors and epigenetic modifications in psychotic disorders: a review [PDF]

, 2016
Schizophrenia and Bipolar Disorder are chronic psychiatric disorders, both considered as "major psychosis"; they are thought to share some pathogenetic factors involving a dysfunctional gene x environment interaction.

Liposomal Delivery of L‐2‐Hydroxyglutarate for Targeting Epigenetic Dysregulation in Osteoarthritis

Advanced NanoBiomed Research, EarlyView.
Osteoarthritis involves cartilage degeneration, inflammation, and epigenetic dysregulation. A liposomal formulation of the TET1 inhibitor L‐2‐hydroxyglutarate to overcome rapid joint clearance was developed. The formulation showed good physicochemical properties, reduced inflammatory and catabolic gene expression in chondrocytes, and alleviated ...

DNA hydroxymethylation levels are altered in blood cells from Down syndrome persons enrolled in the MARK-AGE project [PDF]

, 2017
Down syndrome (DS) is caused by the presence of part or an entire extra copy of chromosome 21, a phenomenon that can cause a wide spectrum of clinically defined phenotypes of the disease. Most of the clinical signs of DS are typical of the ageing process

Base resolution maps reveal the importance of 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in a human glioblastoma [PDF]

, 2017
Aberrant genetic and epigenetic variations drive malignant transformation and are hallmarks of cancer. Using PCR-free sample preparation we achieved the first in-depth whole genome (hydroxyl)-methylcytosine, single-base-resolution maps from a ...

5‐Methylcytosine Analysis of miRNAs in Minimal Change Disease

Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Minimal change disease (MCD) is a glomerular disorder, which is the most common cause of nephrotic syndrome in children. Additionally, the prevalence of MCD in adults has been increasing in recent years. During protein synthesis, noncoding RNAs can be regulated through a variety of modifications, which helps preserve biological diversity and ...

The Hunt for 5-Hydroxymethylcytosine: The Sixth Base [PDF]

Epigenomics, 2011
transfers a glucose from UDP-glucose to 5-hmC in T4 bacteriophages. Two groups independently reported the use of b-GT to detect and quantify 5-hmC. Szwagierczak et al. used H radioactive glucose to label and quantify 5-hmC by scintillation counting [10]. Song et al.

Characterization of 5-methylcytosine and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine in human placenta cell types across gestation

Epigenetics, 2019
The placenta is an important organ in pregnancy, however, very little is understood about placental development at a molecular level. This includes the role of epigenetic mechanisms and how they change throughout gestation.

Analysis of genome-wide 5-hydroxymethylation of blood samples stored in different anticoagulants: opportunities for the expansion of clinical resources for epigenetic research

Epigenetics, 2023
Background: Elucidating epigenetic mechanisms could provide new biomarkers for disease diagnosis and prognosis. Technological advances allow genome-wide profiling of 5-hydroxymethylcytosines (5hmC) in liquid biopsies.

DNA methylation dynamics in aging: How far are we from understanding the mechanisms? [PDF]

, 2018
DNA methylation is currently the most promising molecular marker for monitoring aging and predicting life expectancy. However, the mechanisms underlying age-related DNA methylation changes remain mostly undiscovered.Here we discuss the current knowledge ...

Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...
