Twist-1 Induces Ezh2 Recruitment Regulating Histone Methylation along the <i>Ink4A/Arf</i> Locus in Mesenchymal Stem Cells
31 Jan 2012
Abstract excerpt
The main impairment to tissue maintenance during aging is the reduced capacity for stem cell self-renewal over time due to senescence, the irreversible block in proliferation. We have previously described that the basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) transcription factor Twist-1 can greatly enhance the life span of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem/stromal cells (MSCs). In the present study, we show that Twist-1...
