Abstract excerpt
Nickel compounds have toxic and carcinogenic effects. Several cellular targets have been identified and the toxicity is thought to be mediated by genetic and epigenetic factors. Gene expression from chromatin is regulated by posttranslational histone modifications, ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling, and the incorporation of histone variants. Nickel compounds decrease acetylation levels of all four histones and...
