Alleviation of Aging‐Related Hallmarks in a Mouse Model of Progeria via a Nanoparticle‐Based Artificial Transcription Factor

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Oct4‐nanoscript, a biomimetic nanoparticle‐based artificial transcription factor, precisely regulates cellular rejuvenation by activating Oct4 target genes, restoring epigenetic marks, and reducing DNA damage. In a progeria model, it effectively rescued aging‐associated pathologies and extended lifespan.

CAF-1 is essential for heterochromatin organization in pluripotent embryonic cells. [PDF]

open access: yesPLoS Genetics, 2006
During mammalian development, chromatin dynamics and epigenetic marking are important for genome reprogramming. Recent data suggest an important role for the chromatin assembly machinery in this process. To analyze the role of chromatin assembly factor 1

UTX Responds to Nanotopography to Suppress Macrophage Inflammatory Response by Remodeling H3K27me3 Modification

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
Compared with those on the pTi surface, macrophages on the TNTs surface present reduced myosin II contractility, which facilitates the nuclear translocation of the UTX. This reduction decreases the enrichment of the repressive H3K27me3 histone modification at the Abca1 gene locus, which promotes the transcription and protein expression of ABCA1 ...

Heat stress-induced activation of MAPK pathway attenuates Atf1-dependent epigenetic inheritance of heterochromatin in fission yeast

open access: yeseLife
Eukaryotic cells are constantly exposed to various environmental stimuli. It remains largely unexplored how environmental cues bring about epigenetic fluctuations and affect heterochromatin stability.

MeCP2 dependent heterochromatin reorganization during neural differentiation of a novel Mecp2-deficient embryonic stem cell reporter line.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2012
The X-linked Mecp2 is a known interpreter of epigenetic information and mutated in Rett syndrome, a complex neurological disease. MeCP2 recruits HDAC complexes to chromatin thereby modulating gene expression and, importantly regulates higher order ...

Targeting and regulatory mechanisms in chromosome-wide gene regulation using Drosophila melanogaster as a model organism [PDF]

open access: yes, 2010
Tese de mestrado. Biologia (Biologia Molecular e Genética). Universidade de Lisboa, Faculdade de Ciências, 2010O cromossoma 4 de Drosophila melanogaster é muito heterocromático, sendo rico em DNA satélite e DNA de elementos transposáveis. Apesar das suas

Epigenetics and triplet-repeat neurological diseases [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
The term ‘junk DNA’ has been reconsidered following the delineation of the functional significance of repetitive DNA regions. Typically associated with centromeres and telomeres, DNA repeats are found in nearly all organisms throughout their genomes ...

Transcription‐Replication Conflicts: Unlocking New Frontiers in Cancer

open access: yesBioEssays, EarlyView.
Transcription‐replication conflicts (TRCs) constitute a major source of genome instability. Such conflicts are regulated by chromatin, its dysfunction causing replication stress, DNA breaks, and mutations frequently found in cancer. We review the molecular basis of TRCs and chromatin regulation and discuss the clinical potential of targeting TRCs as ...

Unveiling the complexity of cellular senescence in cancers: From mechanism to therapeutic opportunities

open access: yesBMEMat, EarlyView.
This review highlights the complex roles of cellular senescence in cancer progression and suppression, discusses the mechanisms and regulatory pathways involved, and evaluates the efficacy of the “One‐Two punch” sequential treatment approach while addressing emerging challenges in this novel therapeutic strategy.

DNA and heterochromatin cycles in male gamete development of Oedogonium

open access: yesActa Societatis Botanicorum Poloniae, 2014
In antheridial nuclei of Oedogonium cardiacum (Hass.) Wittr. during male gamete formation, the DNA presynthetic period is shortened, the synthetic and postsynthetic periods are lengthened (G1 - 15%, S - 58%, G2 - 29%) as compared with those in vegetative
