Functional autonomy of distant-acting human enhancers.
Many human genes are associated with dispersed arrays of transcriptional enhancers that regulate their expression in time and space. Studies in invertebrate model systems have suggested that these elements could function as discrete and independent regulatory units, but the in vivo combinatorial properties of vertebrate enhancers remain poorly understood. To explore the modularity and regulator...
متن کاملFunctional anatomy of distant-acting mammalian enhancers.
Transcriptional enhancers are a major class of functional element embedded in the vast non-coding portion of the human genome. Acting over large genomic distances, enhancers play critical roles in the tissue and cell type-specific regulation of genes, and there is mounting evidence that they contribute to the aetiology of many human diseases. Methods for genome-wide mapping of enhancer regions ...
متن کاملImmunostimulatory sequences regulate interferon-inducible genes but not allergic airway responses.
RATIONALE 1018 ISS is a synthetic oligonucleotide containing immunostimulatory CpG motifs. In animal studies, 1018 ISS effectively inhibited Th2-mediated lung inflammation, including eosinophil infiltration, and airway hyperresponsiveness. OBJECTIVES To evaluate whether 1018 ISS has activity in subjects with allergic asthma. METHODS Forty subjects (n = 21, 1018 ISS; n = 19, placebo) were en...
متن کاملBlockade of Opioid Receptors Located in the Rat Nucleus Cuneiformis Reduced the Antinociceptive Responses of Local But not Systemic Administration of Morphine in Formalin Test
ABSTRACTPrevious studies have shown the role of opioid receptors located in the nucleus cuneiformis (CnF) in acute pain, but not in chronic pain models. In the present study, we have determined that possible effects of these receptors at the CnF on both early and late phases of formalin test following local and systemic morphine administration. Each rat was given a subcutaneous 50-μl injection ...
متن کاملNucleosomes Are Stably Evicted from Enhancers but Not Promoters upon Induction of Certain Pro-Inflammatory Genes in Mouse Macrophages
Chromatin is thought to act as a barrier for binding of cis-regulatory transcription factors (TFs) to their sites on DNA and recruitment of the transcriptional machinery. Here we have analyzed changes in nucleosome occupancy at the enhancers as well as at the promoters of three pro-inflammatory genes when they are induced by bacterial lipopolysaccharides (LPS) in primary mouse macrophages. We f...
