The properties of CpG islands in the putative promoter regions of human immunoglobulin (Ig) genes

, 2005
CpG island is a GC-rich motif occurred in gene promoter region, which can play important roles in gene silencing and imprinting. Here, we present a set of discriminant functions that can recognize the structural and compositional features of CpG islands ...

Mbd1 is recruited to both methylated and nonmethylated CpGs via distinct DNA binding domains [PDF]

, 2004
MBD1 is a vertebrate methyl-CpG binding domain protein (MBD) that can bring about repression of methylated promoter DNA sequences. Like other MBD proteins, MBD1 localizes to nuclear foci that in mice are rich in methyl-CpG.

Bidding the CpG island goodbye

eLife, 2013
Experiments on seven vertebrates suggest that identifying the locations of islands of non-methylated DNA provides more insights into evolutionarily-conserved epigenetic regulatory elements than studies of CpG islands.

From pathogen to “living drug factory” innovative strategies and clinical translation of bacteria as programmable intelligent vectors for cancer therapy

BMEMat, EarlyView.
Engineered bacteria serve as smart, living therapeutics that target tumors, deliver drugs, and remodel immunosuppressive microenvironments. This review highlights their potential to potentiate immunotherapy, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy, offering a promising paradigm for precise and synergistic cancer treatment. Abstract The dynamic interplay between

Modulation of Epigenetic Control by Advanced Molecular Tweezers

Chemistry – A European Journal, EarlyView.
Tailored dimeric molecular tweezers recognize the DNA‐binding part of Histone H4 and interrupt the essential histone‐DNA interaction. ABSTRACT This work addresses the question if supramolecular systems can be tailored to interfere with posttranslational modifications (PTM) and epigenetics.

CpG oligonucleotide activates Toll-like receptor 9 and causes lung inflammation in vivo [PDF]

, 2007
Background Bacterial DNA containing motifs of unmethylated CpG dinucleotides (CpG-ODN) initiate an innate immune response mediated by the pattern recognition receptor Toll-like receptor 9 (TLR9).

Distribution of DNA methylation, CpGs, and CpG islands in human isochores

Genomics, 2010
DNA methylation is a major epigenetic modification of the genome that affects basic biological functions, such as gene expression and cell development. We used the human genome sequences and the DNA methylation data that are available in order to establish a map of the levels of GC and methylation in isochores.

Systemic aging fuels heart failure: Molecular mechanisms and therapeutic avenues

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1059-1080, April 2025.
Abstract Systemic aging influences various physiological processes and contributes to structural and functional decline in cardiac tissue. These alterations include an increased incidence of left ventricular hypertrophy, a decline in left ventricular diastolic function, left atrial dilation, atrial fibrillation, myocardial fibrosis and cardiac ...

Computational Detection of CpG Islands in DNA [PDF]

, 1997
Regions of DNA rich in CpG dinucleotides, also known as CpG islands, are often located upstream of the transcription start side in both tissue specific and housekeeping genes. Overall, CPG dinucleotides are observed at a density of 25% the expected level

Epigenetic Dysregulation of Somatostatin Receptors (SSTR) 1–5 and Therapeutic Implications in Neuroendocrine and Non‐Neuroendocrine Malignancies

International Journal of Cancer, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Somatostatin receptors (SSTR) mediate the antiproliferative, antisecretory, and proapoptotic effects of somatostatin and its synthetic analogs. Their surface expression on neuroendocrine tumor (NET) cells is required for somatostatin analog therapy and radiopharmaceutical therapy (RPT).
