Major Epigenetic Changes in Polycystic Ovary Syndrome
Introduction: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is one of the most common causes of female infertility. The etiology of this condition is complex. Various genetic and environmental factors have been identified in the pathogenesis of PCOS. The prevalence of this syndrome among Iranian females has been reported between 7.1% to 14.6%. Common symptoms include irregular menstruation, infertility, ova...
متن کاملEpigenetic Regulation of Adipokines
Adipose tissue expansion in obesity leads to changes in the expression of adipokines, adipocyte-specific hormones that can regulate whole body energy metabolism. Epigenetic regulation of gene expression is a mechanism by which cells can alter gene expression through the modifications of DNA and histones. Epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation and histone modifications, are intimately ti...
متن کاملEpigenetic effects of in utero bisphenol A administration: Diabetogenic and atherogenic changes in mice offspring
Objective(s): Bisphenol A (BPA) that is a monomer of plastic products may possibly interfere with epigenetics and be involved in onset and progression of several diseases. This study was aimed to detect the epigenetic effects of in utero BPA exposure in mice offspring.Materials and Methods: All experiments were performed according to the...
متن کاملEpigenetic regulation in plants.
The study of epigenetics in plants has a long and rich history, from initial descriptions of non-Mendelian gene behaviors to seminal discoveries of chromatin-modifying proteins and RNAs that mediate gene silencing in most eukaryotes, including humans. Genetic screens in the model plant Arabidopsis have been particularly rewarding, identifying more than 130 epigenetic regulators thus far. The di...
متن کاملEpigenetic changes in cancer
Interest in epigenetics is now booming in all the biomedical fields. Initially, interest was sparked within the field of cancer research with the finding of global DNA hypomethylation events in the 1980s, followed by the CpG island hypermethylation of tumor suppressor genes in the 1990s and the approval of DNA demethylating drugs and histone deactylase inhibitors in the 2000s. For transformed c...
