Human Endometrial DNA Methylome Is Cycle-Dependent and Is Associated With Gene Expression Regulation

Abstract excerpt

Human endometrium undergoes major gene expression changes, resulting in altered cellular functions in response to cyclic variations in circulating estradiol and progesterone, largely mediated by transcription factors and nuclear receptors. In addition to classic modulators, epigenetic mechanisms regulate gene expression during development in response to environmental factors and in some diseases and have roles in...
