Homocysteine modulates 5‐lipoxygenase expression level via DNA methylation
Elevated levels of homocysteinemia (Hcy), a risk factor for late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD), have been associated with changes in cell methylation. Alzheimer's disease is characterized by an upregulation of the 5-lipoxygenase (5LO), whose promoter is regulated by methylation. However, whether Hcy activates 5LO enzymatic pathway by influencing the methylation status of its promoter remains u...
متن کاملDNA Methylation Modulates Nociceptive Sensitization after Incision
DNA methylation is a key epigenetic mechanism controlling DNA accessibility and gene expression. Blockade of DNA methylation can significantly affect pain behaviors implicated in neuropathic and inflammatory pain. However, the role of DNA methylation with regard to postoperative pain has not yet been explored. In this study we sought to investigate the role of DNA methylation in modulating inci...
متن کاملHomocysteine induces cytotoxicity and proliferation inhibition in neural stem cells via DNA methylation in vitro.
Mild to moderate hyperhomocysteinemia has been implicated in neurodevelopmental disorders and neurodegenerative diseases in human studies. Although the molecular mechanisms underlying the effects of homocysteine (Hcy) neurotoxicity on the nervous system are not yet fully understood, inhibition of neural stem cell (NSC) proliferation and alterations in DNA methylation may be involved. The aim of...
متن کاملCorrelation between expression of 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein, 5-lipoxygenase, and cellular leukotriene synthesis.
Previous studies involving transfection of cDNAs for 5-lipoxygenase-activating protein (FLAP) and 5-lipoxygenase into osteosarcoma cells have shown that both these proteins are essential for leukotriene synthesis (Dixon, R. A. F., Diehl, R. E., Opas, E., Rands, E., Vickers, P. J., Evans, J. F., Gillard, J. W., and Miller, D. K. (1990) Nature 343, 282-284). In the present study we show that FLAP...
متن کاملEpigenetic histone methylation modulates fibrotic gene expression.
TGF-β1-induced expression of extracellular matrix (ECM) genes plays a major role in the development of chronic renal diseases such as diabetic nephropathy. Although many key transcription factors are known, mechanisms involving the nuclear chromatin that modulate ECM gene expression remain unclear. Here, we examined the role of epigenetic chromatin marks such as histone H3 lysine methylation (H...
