A subset of methylated CpG sites differentiate psoriatic from normal skin
Psoriasis is a chronic inflammatory immune-mediated disorder affecting the skin and other organs including joints. Over 1,300 transcripts are altered in psoriatic involved skin compared with normal skin. However, to our knowledge, global epigenetic profiling of psoriatic skin is previously unreported. Here, we describe a genome-wide study of altered CpG methylation in psoriatic skin. We determi...
متن کاملMicroRNAs in normal and psoriatic skin.
Psoriasis is a chronic and common human skin disorder currently with no cure. Psoriatic skin displays inflammatory, raised, and scaly lesions with widely aberrant gene expression. Recent studies have revealed critical roles that microRNAs play as a class of posttranscriptional gene regulator in skin development and skin diseases. A substantial number of novel microRNAs have been identified in s...
متن کاملThe Importance of Micrornain Normal and Psoriatic Skin
Psoriasis is a systemic inflammatory skin condition characterised by raised and scaly skin lesions resulting from different factors, including the immune system as well as environment. The exact mechanism of psoriasis pathogenesis is not jet completely deciphered. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are a class of small, non-coding RNAs that represent one of the most abundant classes of gene-regulators. Implica...
متن کاملBase-flipping propensities of unmethylated, hemimethylated, and fully methylated CpG sites.
Methylation of C5 of cytosines at CpG dinucleotide sites of the DNA is one of the most important factors regulating the expression of genes. The interactions of these CpG sites with proteins are essential for recognition and catalysis and in many cases are characterized by the flipping of either of the cytosine bases out of the DNA helix. In this paper, we present results from molecular dynamic...
متن کاملDifferentially methylated CpG sites in bull spermatozoa revealed by human DNA methylation arrays and bisulfite analysis
The methylation status of sperm DNA differs between individual bulls. However, the relationship between methylation status and bull sperm parameters is not well elucidated. The present study investigated genome-wide methylation profiles at 450,000 CpG sites in bull spermatozoa by using a human DNA methylation microarray. Semen samples from three adult Japanese Black bulls with different in vitr...
