Teeing Up Transcription on CpG Islands [PDF]

Journal of End-to-End-testing, 2009
Eukaryotic cells use elaborate molecular mechanisms to rapidly activate signal-dependent gene expression. New work provides fresh insights into these mechanisms by demonstrating that CpG islands in promoters are nucleosome-destabilizing elements and can facilitate the establishment of an unusual poised transcriptional state (Ramirez-Carrozzi et al ...

Dysplasia in sessile serrated lesions: frequency, interobserver variability and added value of immunohistochemistry

Histopathology, EarlyView.
Sessile serrated lesions with dysplasia represent a critical step in colorectal carcinogenesis. While routine histologic diagnosis is generally reliable and positive diagnostic trends are observed, subtle dysplastic changes may be overlooked. Targeted use of MLH1 immunohistochemistry provides meaningful diagnostic support in selected sessile serrated ...

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 ...

Prospects of multipurpose biomonitoring for fisheries assessment based on environmental nucleic acids

Journal of Fish Biology, EarlyView.
Abstract Methods using environmental nucleic acids have become highly effective for monitoring aquatic biodiversity, with an array of suitable use cases, including metrics for fisheries assessment. Traditional methods for assessing fish populations often rely on invasive techniques with limited spatial and temporal coverage.

Immune Evasion of Helicobacter pylori and Extra‐Gastric Cancer Risk

Journal of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) is a group 1 gastric carcinogen that plays a significant role in extra‐gastric digestive system cancers. H. pylori disrupts host cell homeostasis through expression of virulence factors leading to immune evasion as well as persistent gastric mucosal colonization. H. pylori infection has been shown to play a role

Identification of DNA-Methylated CpG Islands Associated With Gene Silencing in the Adult Body Tissues of the Ogye Chicken Using RNA-Seq and Reduced Representation Bisulfite Sequencing

Frontiers in Genetics, 2019
DNA methylation is an epigenetic mark that plays an essential role in regulating gene expression. CpG islands are DNA methylations regions in promoters known to regulate gene expression through transcriptional silencing of the corresponding gene.

FcMAPK4‐phosphorylated FcNOR activates FcERF5 to promote fig fruit softening through activation of FcPG12 expression

Journal of Integrative Plant Biology, EarlyView.
In Ficus carica fruit, the MAP kinase FcMAPK4 phosphorylates the NAC transcription factor FcNOR, which cooperates with ethylene response factor FcERF5 to activate the pectin degradation gene FcPG12, thereby promoting rapid softening of fig fruit. ABSTRACT Rapid softening of fig (Ficus carica L.) fruit during ripening leads to extremely short shelf life;

Genetic Susceptibility to Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Aim: The aim of this narrative review was to identify genes carrying risk alleles associated with an increased risk of periodontitis and to place them in a biological context. Methods: The literature was reviewed based on predefined criteria. Results: The identified genes largely fall into functions linking immune response with tissue repair. The genes

Dissecting the Kaiso binding profile in clear renal cancer cells

Epigenetics & Chromatin
Background There has been a notable increase in interest in the transcriptional regulator Kaiso, which has been linked to the regulation of clonal hematopoiesis, myelodysplastic syndrome, and tumorigenesis.
