    The transcriptomic and epigenetic map of vascular quiescence in the continuous lung endothelium

    Katharina Schlereth, Dieter Weichenhan ... Hellmut G Augustin
    The acquisition of vascular quiescence during transition to adulthood is driven by distinct transcriptional and epigenetic programs of pro- and anti-angiogenic genes, with the most prominent effect on the suppression of TGFß family signaling.

    An epigenetic switch regulates the ontogeny of AXL-positive/EGFR-TKi-resistant cells by modulating miR-335 expression

    Polona Safaric Tepes, Debjani Pal ... Raffaella Sordella
    Erlotinib-resistant AXL overexpressing cells are present in therapy-naive tumors, and expression of AXL in these cells is regulated through a stochastic mechanism centered on the epigenetic regulation of miR-335.

    Losing Dnmt3a dependent methylation in inhibitory neurons impairs neural function by a mechanism impacting Rett syndrome

    Laura A Lavery, Kerstin Ure ... Huda Y Zoghbi
    Dnmt3a regulates gene expression in inhibitory neurons by writing all mCH and some mCG, and MeCP2 reads some of these mCH sites driving a portion of these gene expression changes.

    Plasma growth hormone pulses induce male-biased pulsatile chromatin opening and epigenetic regulation in adult mouse liver

    Andy Rampersaud, Jeannette Connerney, David J Waxman
    Pulsatile chromatin opening stimulated by naturally-occurring plasma growth hormone pulses is one of two GH-determined mechanisms that establish widespread sex differences in hepatic chromatin accessibility and epigenetic regulation, both closely linked to sex differences in liver gene transcription and function.

    Genetic screen identified PRMT5 as a neuroprotection target against cerebral ischemia

    Haoyang Wu, Peiyuan Lv ... Jiaji Lin
    An RNAi screen in mouse hippocampal neuronal cell line targeting epigenetic regulators revealed a novel neuroprotection of Prmt5 and uncovered its nucleus translocation feature and epigenetic mechanism in cerebral ischemia.

    Quantitative control of noise in mammalian gene expression by dynamic histone regulation

    Deng Tan, Rui Chen ... Wei Huang
    Ubiquitous transcriptional factor-CBP/p300 interaction induces epigenetic and transcriptional bimodality, which can be utilized to tune mean gene expression and noise independently.

    Chromatin dynamics and the role of G9a in gene regulation and enhancer silencing during early mouse development

    Jan J Zylicz, Sabine Dietmann ... M Azim Surani
    Silencing of gene regulatory elements by modifications of DNA-bound proteins promotes the progression of early mouse development.
