Insulin Gene Expression Is Regulated by DNA Methylation
BACKGROUND Insulin is a critical component of metabolic control, and as such, insulin gene expression has been the focus of extensive study. DNA sequences that regulate transcription of the insulin gene and the majority of regulatory factors have already been identified. However, only recently have other components of insulin gene expression been investigated, and in this study we examine the r...
متن کاملA novel cancer/testis antigen KP-OVA-52 identified by SEREX in human ovarian cancer is regulated by DNA methylation
SEREX has proven to be a powerful method that takes advantage of the presence of spontaneous humoral immune response in some cancer patients. In this study, immunoscreening of normal testis and two ovarian cancer cell line cDNA expression libraries with sera from ovarian cancer patients led to the isolation of 75 independent antigens, designated KP-OVA-1 through KP-OVA-75. Of these, RT-PCR show...
متن کاملMUC1 expression is regulated by DNA methylation and histone H3 lysine 9 modification in cancer cells.
MUC1 is a transmembrane mucin that is highly expressed in various cancers and correlates with malignant potential. Important cancer-related genes such as p16 and E-cadherin are controlled epigenetically; however, MUC1 has been overlooked in epigenetics. Herein, we provide the first report that MUC1 gene expression is regulated by DNA methylation and histone H3 lysine 9 (H3-K9) modification of t...
متن کاملSTAT4 expression in human T cells is regulated by DNA methylation but not by promoter polymorphism.
STAT4, which plays a pivotal role in Th1 immune responses, enhances IFN-gamma transcription in response to the interaction of IL-12 with the IL-12R. Mice deficient in STAT4 lack IL-12-induced IFN-gamma production and Th1 differentiation and display a predominantly Th2 phenotype. Although these findings indicate that STAT4 expression levels are important for the development of cytokine-producing...
متن کاملGenome-Wide Expression of MicroRNAs Is Regulated by DNA Methylation in Hepatocarcinogenesis
Background. Previous studies, including ours, have examined the regulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) by DNA methylation, but whether this regulation occurs at a genome-wide level in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is unclear. Subjects/Methods. Using a two-phase study design, we conducted genome-wide screening for DNA methylation and miRNA expression to explore the potential role of methylation alter...
