Effects of Particulate Matter on Genomic DNA Methylation Content and <i>iNOS</i> Promoter Methylation
25 Sept 2008
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Altered patterns of gene expression mediate the effects of particulate matter (PM) on human health, but mechanisms through which PM modifies gene expression are largely undetermined. OBJECTIVES: We aimed at identifying short- and long-term effects of PM exposure on DNA methylation, a major genomic mechanism of gene expression control, in workers in an electric furnace steel plant with...
