Placental DNA methylation as a proxy for fetal neurodevelopment and sex-specific associations with in utero particulate air pollution
Background and aims Exposure to particulate matter (PM) air pollution during pregnancy may affect human fetal development. Epigenetic mechanisms are believed to play an essential role in the developmental changes during early life. Within the ENVIRONAGE birth cohort, we investigated whether in utero exposure to PM is associated with differences in placental DNA methylation of genes involved in ...
متن کاملLongitudinal associations between BDNF promoter methylation and late-life depression.
Reduced brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) function has been suggested as a risk factor for late-life depression. BDNF secretion is influenced by epigenetic (DNA promoter methylation) and genetic (val66met polymorphism) profiles. We investigated the independent and interactive effects of BDNF methylation and val66met polymorphism on late-life depression. In total, 732 Korean community res...
متن کاملSex-Specific Associations of Arsenic Exposure with Global DNA Methylation and Hydroxymethylation in Leukocytes
Pancreatic cancer, although relatively rare, is the fourth leading cause of cancer death in the USAbecause of its low 5-year survival rate. Besides, there is no costeffective method to screen the general population for it and early detection, which is imperative for patient survival, is still not feasible. Smoking and chronic pancreatitis (CP) are two major risk factors for pancreatic cancer. H...
متن کاملTwo Steps Methylation Specific PCR for Assessment of APC Promoter Methylation in Gastric Adenocarcinoma
Gastric Cancer (GC) is the second most common cancer in the world and a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Methylation of promoter CpG islands (CGIs) belonging to tumor suppressor genes causes transcriptional silencing of their corresponding genes leading to carcinogenesis and other disorders. Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) a tumor suppressor gene is inactivated by methylation of prom...
متن کاملAssociations between biological markers of prenatal stress and infant negative emotionality are specific to sex
PURPOSE Fetal programming is the idea that environmental stimuli can alter the development of the fetus, which may have a long-term effect on the child. We have recently reported that maternal prenatal cortisol predicts infant negative emotionality in a sex-dependent manner: high prenatal cortisol was associated with increased negative emotionality in females, and decreased negative emotionalit...
