Epigenetic regulation of cytokine expression in systemic lupus erythematosus with special focus on T cells
24 Apr 2014
Abstract excerpt
Epigenetic events play a central role in the priming, differentiation and subset determination of T lymphocytes. Through their influence on chromatin conformation and DNA-accessibility to transcription factors and RNA polymerases, epigenetic marks allow or prevent gene expression and control cellular functions including cytokine expression. CpG-DNA methylation and post-translational modifications to histone tails...
