Intergenerational Transfer of Epigenetic Information in Sperm.
The inheritance of information beyond DNA sequence, known as epigenetic inheritance, has been implicated in a multitude of biological processes from control of plant flowering time to cancer in humans. In addition to epigenetic inheritance that occurs in dividing cells of a multicellular organism, it is also increasingly clear that at least some epigenetic information is transmitted via the gam...
متن کاملEpigenetic reprogramming and nuclear transfer
Nuclear transfer, also referred to as cloning, attracted public attention when the first mammal, the sheep Dolly, was cloned from an adult cell. In this review, we highlight some of the milestones reached in the 50 years following the first nuclear transplantations in frogs. We also address the problems associated with nuclear transfer and provide an survey on current stem-cell technology. In t...
متن کاملFluorescence resonance energy transfer-based HIV-1 virion fusion assay.
The fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET)-based HIV-1 virion fusion assay exploits the incorporation of beta-lactamase-Vpr chimeric proteins into HIV-1 virions and their subsequent delivery into the cytoplasm of target cells as a marker of fusion. This transfer can be monitored by the enzymatic cleavage of the CCF2-AM dye, a fluorescent substrate of beta-lactamase (BlaM), loaded into th...
متن کاملTranscription factor-mediated epigenetic reprogramming.
Input from various signaling pathways in conjunction with specific transcription factors (TFs), noncoding RNAs, and epigenetic modifiers governs the maintenance of cellular identity. Endogenous or exogenous TFs operate within certain boundaries, which are set, in part, by the cell type-specific epigenetic landscape. Ectopic expression of selected TFs can override the cellular identity and induc...
متن کاملExosome/microvesicle-mediated epigenetic reprogramming of cells.
Microvesicles (MVs) are released by different cell types and may remain in the extracellular space in proximity of the cell of origin or may enter the biological fluids. MVs released by tumor cells are detectable in patients with cancer and their number in the circulation correlates with poor prognosis. Recent studies demonstrated that MVs may act as mediator of cell-to-cell communication thus ...
