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.

Epigenetic Down-Regulation of Sirt 1 via DNA Methylation and Oxidative Stress Signaling Contributes to the Gestational Diabetes Mellitus-Induced Fetal Programming of Heart Ischemia-Sensitive Phenotype in Late Life. [PDF]

, 2019
Rationale: The incidence of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is increasing worldwide. However, whether and how GDM exposure induces fetal programming of adult cardiac dysfunctional phenotype, especially the underlying epigenetic molecular mechanisms ...

NSUN2 introduces 5-methylcytosines in mammalian mitochondrial tRNAs

Nucleic Acids Research, 2019
Abstract Expression of human mitochondrial DNA is indispensable for proper function of the oxidative phosphorylation machinery. The mitochondrial genome encodes 22 tRNAs, 2 rRNAs and 11 mRNAs and their post-transcriptional modification constitutes one of the key regulatory steps during mitochondrial gene expression.

Biomaterial Physical Cues as Gene Regulators for Cellular Agriculture

Advanced Genetics, Volume 7, Issue 2, June 2026.
This review elucidates how biomaterial physical cues—ranging from matrix stiffness to remote electromagnetic fields—serve as extrinsic regulators of gene expression in cellular agriculture. By identifying central mechanotransduction pathways that bridge physical inputs to genetic remodeling, the authors propose the “Material Genome” concept: a ...

Oxidative Stress and DNA Epigenetic Modifications in Cancer: Mechanisms and Targeted Therapeutics

MedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
Reactive oxygen species (ROS) modulate DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs), ten‐eleven translocation family proteins (TETs) and their cofactors, reshaping 5‐methylcytosine (5mC)/5‐hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC)/5‐formylcytosine (5fC) landscapes and gene expression in cancer cells. In turn, epigenetic control of antioxidant and metabolic pathways feeds back on

Targeting EZH2 in Cancer: From Molecular Mechanisms to Clinical Translation

MedComm – Oncology, Volume 5, Issue 2, June 2026.
The abnormal overexpression or gain‐of‐function mutations of EZH2 play a significant role in cancer occurrence and progression, highlighting the importance and potential of EZH2 as a cancer biomarker. Therefore, screening for effective and safe small‐molecule inhibitors, degraders, and natural compounds targeting EZH2 through preclinical cancer models ...

Analysis of TET expression/activity and 5mC oxidation during normal and malignant germ cell development.

PLoS ONE, 2013
During mammalian development the fertilized zygote and primordial germ cells lose their DNA methylation within one cell cycle leading to the concept of active DNA demethylation.

Traversing the effects of ploidy changes in different Eragrostis curvula genotypes through high‐throughput RNA sequencing

The Plant Genome, Volume 19, Issue 2, June 2026.
Abstract Polyploidization has played a key role in plant genome evolution. Eragrostis curvula (Schrad.) Ness, a perennial forage grass species of the Poaceae family, is an excellent model for investigating genome duplication due to its natural variation in ploidy levels.

Genome‐wide and gene‐specific DNA methylation across developmental stages in Pogonomyrmex californicus: A socially polymorphic ant

Insect Molecular Biology, Volume 35, Issue 3, Page 232-245, June 2026.
Comparison between developmental stages (larvae, pupae, worker) in Pogonomyrmex californicus revealed significant stage‐specific differences in Gene Body Methylated frequencies. Methylation sites were highly correlated between WGBS and ONT in P. californicus Genome‐wide methylation was low (~3%) and highly clustered within gene bodies (GBM), especially

5'-Methylcytosine and 5'-hydroxymethylcytosine each provide epigenetic information to the mouse zygote.

PLoS ONE, 2013
Covalent modification of cytosine nucleotides within the genome encode essential epigenetic information, with methylation (5meC) and hydroxymethylation (5hmC) having received most attention.
