BackgroundPlatelet‐derived growth factor BB, a potent mitogen of pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (PASMCs), has been implicated in pulmonary arterial remodeling, which is a key pathogenic feature of pulmonary arterial hypertension.

Nitric oxide induces chromatin remodelling in the developing central nervous system [PDF]
The development of the nervous system is a complex task that involves precise connections between billions of neurons. This is achieved, at least in part, by the overproduction of neurons and the survival of a select few that compete for limited ...

Mbd2 contributes to DNA methylation-directed repression of the Xist gene [PDF]
Transcription of the Xist gene triggers X chromosome inactivation in cis and is therefore silenced on the X chromosome that remains active. DNA methylation contributes to this silencing, but the mechanism is unknown.

SIRT1 Undergoes Alternative Splicing in a Novel Auto-Regulatory Loop with p53 [PDF]
Background The NAD-dependent deacetylase SIRT1 is a nutrient-sensitive coordinator of stress-tolerance, multiple homeostatic processes and healthspan, while p53 is a stress-responsive transcription factor and our paramount tumour suppressor. Thus, SIRT1-

The CBX7 protein, whose expression is decreased in human carcinomas, positively regulates E-cadherin expression by interacting with the HDAC2 protein. [PDF]
CBX7, chromobox homolog 7, is a chromobox family protein encoding a novel Polycomb protein, component of the Polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1). The Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are epigenetic transcriptional repressors involved in the control of ...

Cancer stem cells (CSCs) have high tumorigenic capacity. Here, we show that stem-like traits of specific human cancer cells are reduced by overexpression of the histone deacetylase sirtuin 6 (SIRT6).

Histone methylation by PRC2 is inhibited by active chromatin marks [PDF]
Chromatin modifiers serve as regulatory switches that control the cell cycle, maintain pluripotency and drive differentiation and development. Positive feedback mechanisms help to pass on transcriptional information from one generation of cells to the ...

Helicobacter pylori-induced histone modification, associated gene expression in gastric epithelial cells, and its implication in pathogenesis. [PDF]
Histone modifications are critical in regulating gene expression, cell cycle, cell proliferation, and development. Relatively few studies have investigated whether Helicobacter pylori, the major cause of human gastric diseases, affects histone ...

NoRC, a novel chromatin remodeling complex involved in ribosomal RNA gene silencing [PDF]
Regulation of gene expression takes place in the nucleus in a highly structured and condensed nucleoprotein environment, called chromatin (Felsenfeld and Groudine, 2003; Khorasanizadeh, 2004; Vaquero et al., 2003).
