Chromatin Alterations Associated With Down-regulated Metabolic Gene Expression in the Prefrontal Cortex of Subjects With Schizophrenia
1 Aug 2005
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Schizophrenia is frequently accompanied by hypometabolism and altered gene expression in the prefrontal cortex. Cellular metabolism regulates chromatin structure, including covalent histone modifications, which are epigenetic regulators of gene expression. OBJECTIVE: To test the hypothesis that down-regulated metabolic gene expression is associated with histone modification changes in the prefrontal...
