Regulation of inflammation in diabetes: From genetics to epigenomics evidence

open access: yesMolecular Metabolism, 2020
Background: Diabetes is one of the greatest public health challenges worldwide, and we still lack complementary approaches to significantly enhance the efficacy of preventive and therapeutic approaches.

Conserved regulatory logic at accessible and inaccessible chromatin during the acute inflammatory response in mammals

open access: yesNature Communications, 2021
Genetic elements that control inflammatory gene expression are not fully elucidated. Here the authors conduct a multi-species analysis of chromatin landscape and NF-κB binding in response to the proinflammatory cytokine TNFα, finding that conserved NF-κB

Assessment of de novo copy-number variations in Italian patients with schizophrenia: Detection of putative mutations involving regulatory enhancer elements [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Objectives: Variants appearing de novo in genes regulating key neurodevelopmental processes and/or in non-coding cis-regulatory elements (CREs), as enhancers, may increase the risk for schizophrenia. However, CREs involvement in schizophrenia needs to be

Long-range evolutionary constraints reveal cis-regulatory interactions on the human X chromosome. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Enhancers can regulate the transcription of genes over long genomic distances. This is thought to lead to selection against genomic rearrangements within such regions that may disrupt this functional linkage.

An E box comprises a positional sensor for regional differences in skeletal muscle gene expression and methylation [PDF]

open access: yes, 1999
To dissect the molecular mechanisms conferring positional information in skeletal muscles, we characterized the control elements responsible for the positionally restricted expression patterns of a muscle-specific transgene reporter, driven by regulatory

Cooperativity of Glucocorticoid Response Elements Located Far Upstream of the Tyrosine Aminotransferase Gene [PDF]

open access: yes, 1987
Two glucocorticoid response elements (GREs) located 2.5 kb upstream of the transcription initiation site of the tyrosine aminotransferase gene were identified by gene transfer experiments and shown to bind to purified glucocorticoid receptor.

Highly conserved elements discovered in vertebrates are present in non-syntenic loci of tunicates, act as enhancers and can be transcribed during development [PDF]

open access: yes, 2013
Co-option of cis-regulatory modules has been suggested as a mechanism for the evolution of expression sites during development. However, the extent and mechanisms involved in mobilization of cisregulatory modules remains elusive.

Transcription factor complex formation and chromatin fine structure alterations at the murine c-fms (CSF-1 receptor) locus during maturation of myeloid precursor cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2002
Expression of the gene for the macrophage colony stimulating factor receptor (CSF-1R), c-fms, has been viewed as a hallmark of the commitment of multipotent precursor cells to macrophages.

Broadening our understanding of the genetics of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis (JIA): Interrogation of three dimensional chromatin structures and genetic regulatory elements within JIA-associated risk loci.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2020
ObjectiveThe risk loci for juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) consist of extended haplotypes that include functional elements in addition to canonical coding genes.

Role of cyclic AMP in the control of cell-specific gene expression [PDF]

open access: yes, 1993
Genes have to be expressed in specific cell types at appropriate times of development dependent on external signals. cAMP signaling occurs in all cells, thus raising the question of how this signal transduction pattern is integrated into mechanisms ...
