Objective(s):Sublingual allergen-specific immunotherapy is a safe and effective method for treatment of IgE-mediated respiratory allergies; however, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. This study was planned to test whether sublingual immunotherapy (SLIT) can exert epigenetic mechanisms through which the airway allergic responses can be extinguished. Materials and Methods:BALB/c...

Background: During male germ cells differentiation, genomewide re-organizations and highly specific programming of the male genome occur. These changes not only include the large-scale meiotic shuffling of genes, taking place in spermatocytes, but also a complete “re-packaging” of the male genome in post meiotic cells, leading to a highly compacted nucleo-protamine structure in the mature sperm...

abstract: background: the availability of testis specific genes will be of help in choosing the most promising biomarkers for the detection of testicular sperm retrieval in patients with non-obstructive azoospermia (noa). cdy1 histone acetyltransferase is a histone modifier which concentrates in the nucleus of round spermatids, where histone hyperacetylation occurs and causes the replacement of...

This “Minireview and Perspective” article describes histone deacetylases (HDACs), as promising specific molecular targets to treat a variety of disease states by downregulating the expression associated proteins with use new generation bioengineered compounds called protein targeting chimeras (PROTACs). We present classification HDACs, discuss their functions key epigenetic regulators gene expr...

introduction: to evaluate and compare efficiency of sil-select with percoll to recover sperm with normal chromatin in morphology and also studyeffect of these parameters on fertilization, embryo quality and cleavagescore. materials and methods: assessment of semen parameters, protamine deficiency (cma3) and excessive histone (aniline blue staining) were carried out before and after sperm proces...

Histone demethylases are epigenetic modulators that play key roles in regulating gene expression related to many critical cellular functions and emerging as promising therapeutic targets a number of tumor types. We previously identified histone demethylase family members overexpressed the pediatric sarcoma, rhabdomyosarcoma. Here we show high sensitivity rhabdomyosarcoma cells pan-histone inhib...

Introduction: The novel development of the (HBA) sperm- hyaluronan binding assay has now been routinely used in some laboratories worldwide to predict sperm maturity and functionality. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between HBA score and histone deficiency, protamine content and DNA fragmentation. Methods: During April- March 2012 patients who were enrolled at ...
