Plasma cell free DNA methylation markers for hepatocellular carcinoma surveillance in patients with cirrhosis: a case control study

open access: yesBMC Gastroenterology, 2021
Background Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is the leading cause of death in patients with cirrhosis, primarily due to failed early detection. HCC screening is recommended among individuals with cirrhosis using biannual abdominal ultrasound, for earlier ...

Titration-based normalization of antibody amount improves consistency of ChIP-seq experiments

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2023
Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) is an antibody-based approach that is frequently utilized in chromatin biology and epigenetics. The challenge in experimental variability by unpredictable nature of usable input amounts from samples and undefined ...

Extracellular vesicles from subjects with COPD modulate cancer initiating cells phenotype through HIF-1α shuttling

open access: yesCell Death and Disease, 2023
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a risk factor for lung cancer development. COPD induces activation of hypoxia-induced signaling, causing remodeling of surrounding microenvironmental cells also modulating the release and cargo of their ...

RNA N6-methyladenosine methylation and skin diseases

open access: yesAutoimmunity, 2023
Skin diseases are global health issues caused by multiple pathogenic factors, in which epigenetics plays an invaluable role. Post-transcriptional RNA modifications are important epigenetic mechanism that regulate gene expression at the genome-wide level.

Single-cell sequencing shows cellular heterogeneity of cutaneous lesions in lupus erythematosus

open access: yesNature Communications, 2022
Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) and systemic LE (SLE) can present as cutaneous lesions. Here the authors characterise an scRNA dataset of cutaneous lesions from these patients and compare these to healthy controls showing differential immune cell ...

Epigenomics Scientific Big Data Workflow Scheduling for Cancer Diagnosis in Health Care Using Heterogeneous Computing Environment

open access: yesBrazilian Archives of Biology and Technology, 2022
DNA methylation and Histone are the main constituents to oversee the stable maintenance of cellular phenotypes. Any abnormalities in these components could cause cancer development and, therefore, must be potentially diagnostic.

Enhanced and controlled chromatin extraction from FFPE tissues and the application to ChIP-seq

open access: yesBMC Genomics, 2019
Background Epigenetic dysregulation is involved in the etiology and progression of various human diseases. Formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) samples represent the gold standard for archiving pathology samples, and thus FFPE samples are a major ...
