Reelin promoter hypermethylation in schizophrenia.
Reelin mRNA and protein levels are reduced by approximately 50% in various cortical structures of postmortem brain from patients diagnosed with schizophrenia or bipolar illness with psychosis. In addition, the mRNA encoding the methylating enzyme, DNA methyltransferase 1, is up-regulated in the same neurons that coexpress reelin and glutamic acid decarboxylase 67. We have analyzed the extent an...
متن کاملPostmortem studies in schizophrenia
For over a century, postmortem studies have played a central part in the search for the structural and biochemical pathology of schizophrenia. However, for most of this time, little progress has been made. Recently, the situation has begun to change, helped by the emergence of more powerful methodologies and research designs, and by the availability of brain imaging to provide complementary inf...
متن کاملPostmortem studies in schizophrenia.
The past decade has seen renewed interest in the neuropathology of schizophrenia. The advent of new postmortem techniques and functional imaging, along with a greater understanding of the neuropsychology of schizophrenia, have provided many new clues to the nature of the underlying brain dysfunction in this disorder. There has also been a greater understanding of the presence of severe cognitiv...
متن کاملPromoter hypermethylation in prostate cancer.
BACKGROUND The prostate gland is the most common site of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer mortality in American men. It is well known that epigenetic alterations such as DNA methylation within the regulatory (promoter) regions of genes are associated with transcriptional silencing in cancer. Promoter hypermethylation of critical pathway genes could be potential biomarkers and thera...
متن کاملPromoter-Wide Hypermethylation of the Ribosomal RNA Gene Promoter in the Suicide Brain
BACKGROUND Alterations in gene expression in the suicide brain have been reported and for several genes DNA methylation as an epigenetic regulator is thought to play a role. rRNA genes, that encode ribosomal RNA, are the backbone of the protein synthesis machinery and levels of rRNA gene promoter methylation determine rRNA transcription. METHODOLOGY/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS We test here by sodium b...
