Landscape of DNA methylation on the X chromosome reflects CpG density, functional chromatin state and X-chromosome inactivation
X-chromosome inactivation (XCI) achieves dosage compensation between males and females through the silencing of the majority of genes on one of the female X chromosomes. Thus, the female X chromosomes provide a unique opportunity to study euchromatin and heterochromatin of allelic regions within the same nuclear environment. We examined the interplay of DNA methylation (DNAm) with CpG density, ...
متن کاملX Chromosome Inactivation in Opioid Addicted Women
Introduction: X chromosome inactivation (XCI) is a process during which one of the two X chromosomes in female human is silenced leading to equal gene expression with males who have only one X chromosome. Here we have investigated XCI ratio in females with opioid addiction to see whether XCI skewness in women could be a risk factor for opioid addiction. Methods: 30 adult females meeting DS...
متن کاملTissue and lineage-specific variation in inactive X chromosome expression of the murine Smcx gene.
To understand how gene expression patterns are established on the inactive X chromosome during development, we have studied the murine gene Smcx, which is expressed from both the active and inactive mouse X chromosomes. In all tissues assayed, Smcx only partially escapes X inactivation, with expression levels from the inactive X allele approximately 30-65% that of the active X allele. Additiona...
متن کاملHigh-resolution analysis of epigenetic changes associated with X inactivation.
Differentiation of female murine ES cells triggers silencing of one X chromosome through X-chromosome inactivation (XCI). Immunofluorescence studies showed that soon after Xist RNA coating the inactive X (Xi) undergoes many heterochromatic changes, including the acquisition of H3K27me3. However, the mechanisms that lead to the establishment of heterochromatin remain unclear. We first analyze ch...
متن کاملImprint switching for non-random X-chromosome inactivation during mouse oocyte growth.
In mammals, X-chromosome inactivation occurs in all female cells, leaving only a single active X chromosome. This serves to equalise the dosage of X-linked genes in male and female cells. In the mouse, the paternally derived X chromosome (X(P)) is imprinted and preferentially inactivated in the extraembryonic tissues whereas in the embryonic tissues inactivation is random. To investigate how X(...
