Promoter Hypomethylation Results in Increased Expression of Protein Phosphatase 2A in T Cells from Patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
24 Feb 2011
Abstract excerpt
The catalytic subunit α isoform of protein phosphatase 2A (PP2Acα) activity, protein, and mRNA have been found increased in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) T cells and to contribute to decreased IL-2 production. The PP2Acα promoter activity is controlled epigenetically through the methylation of a CpG within a cAMP response element (CRE) motif defined by its promoter. We considered that hypomethylation may...
