Epigenetic control of angiogenesis via DNA methylation.
Why some patients develop limband life-saving collaterals but others do not constitutes one of the great challenges that face patients with peripheral vascular and coronary artery disease. A longstanding goal in vascular disease is the establishment of therapies that enhance angiogenesis in compromised tissue beds. To achieve this goal, however, it is essential to define and understand the unde...
متن کاملEpigenetic reprogramming of cancer cells via targeted DNA methylation.
An obstacle in the treatment of human diseases such as cancer is the inability to selectively and effectively target historically undruggable targets such as transcription factors. Here, we employ a novel technology using artificial transcription factors (ATFs) to epigenetically target gene expression in cancer cells. We show that site-specific DNA methylation and long-term stable repression of...
متن کاملEpigenetic regulation of hematopoiesis by DNA methylation.
During embryonic development, cell type-specific transcription factors promote cell identities, while epigenetic modifications are thought to contribute to maintain these cell fates. Our understanding of how genetic and epigenetic modes of regulation work together to establish and maintain cellular identity is still limited, however. Here, we show that DNA methyltransferase 3bb.1 (dnmt3bb.1) is...
متن کاملDNA methylation patterns and epigenetic memory.
The character of a cell is defined by its constituent proteins, which are the result of specific patterns of gene expression. Crucial determinants of gene expression patterns are DNA-binding transcription factors that choose genes for transcriptional activation or repression by recognizing the sequence of DNA bases in their promoter regions. Interaction of these factors with their cognate seque...
