Thy-1 promoter hypermethylation: a novel epigenetic pathogenic mechanism in pulmonary fibrosis.
Mechanisms regulating myofibroblastic differentiation of fibroblasts within fibroblastic foci in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) remain unclear. Epigenetic processes, including DNA methylation, produce heritable but potentially reversible changes in DNA or its associated proteins and are prominent in development and oncogenesis. We have shown that Thy-1 suppresses myofibroblastic differenti...
متن کاملTHY 1 ( Thy - 1 cell surface antigen )
Transcription of THY1 is initiated at multiple sites producing an approximately 5591 bp transcript. After splicing, the transcript is reduced to 2143 bp. Transcriptional regulation for tissue-specific expression of Thy-1, as well as for controlling expression in cell sub-populations, and in some cancers, is governed by a number of mechanisms. For tissue-specific transcriptional regulation, the ...
متن کاملFibulin-1 Is Downregulated Through Promoter Hypermethylation in Colorectal Cancer
Fibulin-1 (FBLN1) is involved in the progression of some types of cancer. However, the role of FBLN1 in colorectal cancer (CRC) has not been examined. The purpose of this study was to understand the molecular mechanisms and clinical significance of FBLN1 inactivation in CRC. The expression of FBLN1 in CRC tissues and adjacent normal tissues was analyzed by immunohistochemical analysis and quant...
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 کاملReelin 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...
