MicroRNAs as new Characters in the Plot between Epigenetics and Prostate Cancer

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2011
Prostate cancer (PCA) still represents a leading cause of death. An increasing number of studies have documented that microRNAs (miRNAs), a subgroup of non-coding RNAs with gene regulatory functions, are differentially expressed in PCA respect to the ...

The Histone Database: an integrated resource for histones and histone fold-containing proteins [PDF]

open access: yesDatabase, 2011
Eukaryotic chromatin is composed of DNA and protein components-core histones-that act to compactly pack the DNA into nucleosomes, the fundamental building blocks of chromatin. These nucleosomes are connected to adjacent nucleosomes by linker histones. Nucleosomes are highly dynamic and, through various core histone post-translational modifications and ...

The reduced expression of trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 in primary cutaneous mucinous carcinoma

open access: yesDermatologica Sinica, 2023
Primary cutaneous mucinous carcinoma (PCMC) is rare, and its carcinogenesis is unclear. Trimethylation of histone H3 at lysine 27 (H3K27me3) is a key regulator in chromatin remodeling-controlled transcription.

Epigenetic Alterations in Human Papillomavirus-Associated Cancers

open access: yesViruses, 2017
Approximately 15–20% of human cancers are caused by viruses, including human papillomaviruses (HPVs). Viruses are obligatory intracellular parasites and encode proteins that reprogram the regulatory networks governing host cellular signaling pathways ...

Similarities between the Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV) Nuclear Protein EBNA1 and the Pioneer Transcription Factor FoxA: Is EBNA1 a “Bookmarking” Oncoprotein that Alters the Host Cell Epigenotype?

open access: yesPathogens, 2012
EBNA1, a nuclear protein expressed in all EBV-associated neoplasms is indispensable for the maintenance of the viral episomes in latently infected cells.

Histone acetyltransferase 1 is a succinyltransferase for histones and non‐histones and promotes tumorigenesis

open access: yesEMBO reports, 2020
Lysine succinylation (Ksucc) is an evolutionarily conserved and widespread post-translational modification. Histone acetyltransferase 1 (HAT1) is a type B histone acetyltransferase, regulating the acetylation of both histone and non-histone proteins. However, the role of HAT1 in succinylation modulation remains unclear.

The histone database: A comprehensive resource for histones and histone fold‐containing proteins [PDF]

open access: yesProteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, 2005
AbstractTheThe Histone Database is a curated and searchable collection of full‐length sequences and structures of histones and nonhistone proteins containing histone‐like folds, compiled from major public databases. Several new histone fold‐containing proteins have been identified, including the huntingtin‐interacting protein HYPM.

Epigenetic Regulation of Autophagy: A Path to the Control of Autoimmunity

open access: yesFrontiers in Immunology, 2018
Autoimmune diseases are a significant cause of debilitation and mortality globally and are in need of cost-effective therapeutics. Autophagy is a cellular pathway that facilitates immune modulation involved in both pathogen control and autoimmunity ...

Epigenetic Modifications to H3K9 in Renal Tubulointerstitial Cells after Unilateral Ureteric Obstruction and TGF-β1 Stimulation

open access: yesFrontiers in Pharmacology, 2017
Introduction: Epigenetic regulation of fibrogenesis through post-translational histone modifications (marks) may be a key determinant of progression in renal disease. In this study, we examined the distribution and acquisition of histone 3 Lysine 9 (H3K9)

Association of Histones With Coagulofibrinolytic Responses and Organ Dysfunction in Adult Post-cardiac Arrest Syndrome

open access: yesFrontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
BackgroundPatients successfully resuscitated from cardiac arrest often develop organ dysfunction caused by systemic inflammation and increased coagulation, leading to disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC).
