Role of genetic and environmental factors in DNA methylation of lipid metabolism
Genes and Diseases, 2018 A number of recent studies revealed that DNA methylation plays a central role in the regulation of lipid metabolism. DNA methylation modifications are important regulators of transcriptional networks that do not affect the DNA sequence and can translate ...

Decreased DNA methylation of a CpG site in the HBAP1 gene in plasma DNA from pregnant women. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2018 OBJECTIVE:The objective of this study is to identify potential CpG site(s) or DNA methylation pattern(s) in the pseudo α-globin 1 gene (HBAP1 gene), the gene which locates in α-thalassemia-1 deletion mutation, to differentiate plasma DNA between pregnant

The DNA methylation inhibitor 5-aza-2’-deoxycytidine retards cell growth and alters gene expression in canine mammary gland tumor cells [PDF]
, 2017 Disruption of gene expression by DNA methylation changes is widely involved in tumorigenesis. Here,to investigate DNA methylation changes in canine, we treated a canine mammary gland tumor cell line with a DNA methylation inhibitor, 5-aza-2 ...

Dnmt3a regulates emotional behavior and spine plasticity in the nucleus accumbens. [PDF]
, 2010 Despite abundant expression of DNA methyltransferases (Dnmts) in brain, the regulation and behavioral role of DNA methylation remain poorly understood. We found that Dnmt3a expression was regulated in mouse nucleus accumbens (NAc) by chronic cocaine use ...
