Role of histone methylation and demethylation in adipogenesis and obesity [PDF]

open access: yesOrganogenesis, 2010
Adipocyte differentiation is a complex developmental process that involves the coordinated interplay of numerous transcription factors. PPARγ has emerged as a master regulator of adipogenesis and recent global target gene analysis demonstrated that PPARγ targets many genes encoding chromatin modification enzymes as well as genes of lipid metabolism and

Infection with a Virulent Strain of Wolbachia Disrupts Genome Wide-Patterns of Cytosine Methylation in the Mosquito Aedes aegypti [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
BACKGROUND Cytosine methylation is one of several reversible epigenetic modifications of DNA that allow a greater flexibility in the relationship between genotype and phenotype.

Noncanonical Nucleotides in the Genome Around the Maternal‐Zygotic Transition

open access: yesJournal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
In this paper, Kazzazi et al. provide a comprehensive review of the dynamics of nonconventional nucleotides in the genome during early developmental stages, hypothesizing a potential role for these nucleotides in the activation of the zygotic genome. ABSTRACT From the very moment of fertilization and throughout development, the cells of animal embryos ...

Epigenetic Regulation of Adipogenic Differentiation by Histone Lysine Demethylation

open access: yesInternational Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2019
Obesity is a rising public health problem that contributes to the development of several metabolic diseases and cancer. Adipocyte precursors outside of adipose depots that expand due to overweight and obesity may have a negative impact on human health.

Epigenetic inflammatory memory and periodontal disease: Mechanisms and clinical significance for comorbidities

open access: yesJournal of Periodontology, EarlyView.
Abstract Historically, immunological memory was considered an exclusive feature of adaptive immunity. However, innate immune cells have recently been shown to record and maintain epigenetically imprinted memory of earlier infectious or inflammatory challenges.

Small molecule KDM4s inhibitors as anti-cancer agents

open access: yesJournal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry, 2018
Histone demethylation is a vital process in epigenetic regulation of gene expression. A number of histone demethylases are present to control the methylated states of histone.

The catalytic core of DEMETER guides active DNA demethylation in Arabidopsis. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
The Arabidopsis DEMETER (DME) DNA glycosylase demethylates the maternal genome in the central cell prior to fertilization and is essential for seed viability.

Fat Mass and Obesity‐Associated Protein Contributes to Tumorigenesis and Drug Resistance of Diffuse Large B‐Cell Lymphoma by Suppressing N6‐Methyladenosine Methylation of Myc

open access: yesThe Kaohsiung Journal of Medical Sciences, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Ibrutinib resistance remains a major obstacle in the treatment of diffuse large B‐cell lymphoma (DLBCL). Fat mass and obesity‐associated protein (FTO) has been implicated in drug resistance through its regulation of N6‐methyladenosine (m6A) modifications; however, whether FTO mediates ibrutinib resistance in DLBCL remains unclear.

Lysine-specific demethylase 1 (LSD1) suppresses cellular senescence by riboflavin uptake-dependent demethylation activity

open access: yesScientific Reports
Cellular senescence is defined as a permanent proliferation arrest caused by various stresses, including DNA damage. We have recently identified the riboflavin transporter SLC52A1, whose expression is increased in response to senescence-inducing stimuli.
