Epigenetic control of SPI1 gene by CTCF and ISWI ATPase SMARCA5.

PLoS ONE, 2014
CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) can both activate as well as inhibit transcription by forming chromatin loops between regulatory regions and promoters. In this regard, Ctcf binding on non-methylated DNA and its interaction with the Cohesin complex results in

Early‐Life Telomere Length Negatively Covaries With Brood Size and Father Age, and Predicts Long‐Term Survival in Male Barn Swallows (Hirundo rustica)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
In barn swallows, nestlings raised in larger broods or by older social fathers have shorter telomeres, and those with longer telomeres tend to live longer, suggesting that early‐life conditions may shape individual lifespan through telomere dynamics. ABSTRACT Parental decisions on breeding, such as brood size and timing of reproduction, influence the ...

The Functional Role and Molecular Characterization of the Therapeutic Target CLDN6 in Germ Cell Tumors

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background The tight junction protein CLDN6 has been identified as a cancer‐associated cell surface marker that is rarely expressed in healthy tissues. In testicular germ cell tumors (GCT), CLDN6 is particularly detectable in seminomas, embryonal carcinomas, and choriocarcinomas.

Chromatin Architectural Factor CTCF Is Essential for Progesterone-Dependent Uterine Maturation [PDF]

, 2023
Receptors for estrogen and progesterone frequently interact, via Cohesin/CTCF loop extrusion, at enhancers distal from regulated genes. Loss-of-function CTCF mutation in \u3e20% of human endometrial tumors indicates its importance in uterine homeostasis.

Differential Sperm DNA Methylation Profiles in Healthy Men With High Versus Low Adherence to the Mediterranean Diet in the Led‐Fertyl Study

Andrology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Diet is known to play an essential role not only in sperm quality but also in offspring health, likely mediated through the sperm epigenome. Moreover, one of the main components of the Mediterranean diet (MedDiet) (i.e., nuts) have shown to impact sperm DNA methylation patterns.

MEN1 Deficiency Drives Lung Cancer Progression via Activation of MMP10‐Mediated Angiogenesis

Cancer Science, EarlyView.
MEN1 deficiency promotes JunD‐mediated upregulation of MMP10 expression, which cleaves pro‐HB‐EGF and activates endothelial EGFR. This triggers the PI3K/Akt and MEK/ERK signaling pathways, thereby driving angiogenesis and tumor progression. MMP10 inhibitor treatment blocks this cleavage, suppresses EGFR signaling, and thereby delays malignant ...

Does CTCF mediate between nuclear organization and gene expression?

, 2010
The multifunctional zinc‐finger protein CCCTC‐binding factor (CTCF) is a very strong candidate for the role of coordinating the expression level of coding sequences with their three‐dimensional position in the nucleus, apparently responding to a “code ...

Chromatin Remodeller BRD9 Orchestrates Odontoblastic Differentiation via Coordinating RUNX2‐KLF4

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
During odontoblast lineage commitment, the chromatin remodeller BRD9 acts as a critical epigenetic coordinator, orchestrating the chromatin landscape to facilitate synergistic binding of key transcription factors RUNX2 and KLF4 to target loci for odontogenesis.

Cytology‐First Diagnostic Workflow for Melanoma of Unknown Primary With Molecular Profiling

Cytopathology, EarlyView.
Cytology‑first diagnostic workflow for melanoma of unknown primary. Fine‑needle aspiration of an enlarged lymph node enables rapid cytologic evaluation and immunocytochemical confirmation of melanocytic lineage (SOX10). This early cytologic diagnosis facilitates timely surgical excision and comprehensive genomic profiling, supporting integrated ...

Genetic testing in paediatric neurological disorders

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, EarlyView.
In this study 390 paediatric patients with neurological disorders underwent genetic testing via exome sequencing, commercial panel, in‐house epilepsy, and movement disorder gene panels. Exome sequencing provides the highest diagnostic yield, and severe developmental delay and hypotonia predicted pathogenic variants in the exome sequencing cohort ...
