Pharmacological Inhibition of LSD1 for Cancer Treatment

open access: yesMolecules, 2018
Lysine-specific demethylase 1A (LSD1, also named KDM1A) is a demethylase that can remove methyl groups from histones H3K4me1/2 and H3K9me1/2. It is aberrantly expressed in many cancers, where it impedes differentiation and contributes to cancer cell ...

Epigenetic Regulation of Matrix Metalloproteinase-1 and -3 Expression in Mycobacterium tuberculosis Infection. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
In pulmonary tuberculosis (TB), the inflammatory immune response against Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is associated with tissue destruction and cavitation, which drives disease transmission, chronic lung disease, and mortality.

Crosstalk Between mRNA 3'-End Processing and Epigenetics

open access: yesFrontiers in Genetics, 2021
The majority of eukaryotic genes produce multiple mRNA isoforms by using alternative poly(A) sites in a process called alternative polyadenylation (APA).

Organoids in pediatric cancer research

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
Organoid technology has revolutionized cancer research, yet its application in pediatric oncology remains limited. Recent advances have enabled the development of pediatric tumor organoids, offering new insights into disease biology, treatment response, and interactions with the tumor microenvironment.

Cfp1 is required for gene expression dependent H3K4me3 and H3K9 acetylation in embryonic stem cells [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
BackgroundTrimethylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4me3) accumulates at promoters in a gene activity dependent manner. The Set1 complex is responsible for most H3K4me3 in somatic cells and contains the conserved subunit Cfp1, which is implicated in ...

Domain Model Explains Propagation Dynamics and Stability of Histone H3K27 and H3K36 Methylation Landscapes [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Chromatin states must be maintained during cell proliferation to uphold cellular identity and genome integrity. Inheritance of histone modifications is central in this process. However, the histone modification landscape is challenged by incorporation of

Transferrin receptor 1‐mediated iron uptake supports thermogenic activation in human cervical‐derived adipocytes

open access: yesFEBS Letters, EarlyView.
In this study, we found that human cervical‐derived adipocytes maintain intracellular iron level by regulating the expression of iron transport‐related proteins during adrenergic stimulation. Melanotransferrin is predicted to interact with transferrin receptor 1 based on in silico analysis.

Actin and DNA protect histones from degradation by bacterial proteases but inhibit their antimicrobial activity

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2016
Histones are small polycationic proteins located in the cell nucleus. Together, DNA and histones are integral constituents of the nucleosomes. Upon apoptosis, necrosis and infection - induced cell death, histones are released from the cell.

Peeling and Sliding in Nucleosome Repositioning

open access: yes, 2007
We investigate the mechanisms of histone sliding and detachment with a stochastic model that couples thermally-induced, passive histone sliding with active motor-driven histone unwrapping.

LSD1 demethylates histone and non-histone proteins [PDF]

open access: yesEpigenetics, 2009
One of the key breakthroughs in the epigenetics/chromatin field in the last several years was the identification of enzymes capable of removing the methyl group from methylated lysines in histone proteins. Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) was the first such enzyme identified, which has been shown to demethylate histone H3 on lysine 4 (H3K4) and ...
