Alcohol Consumption During Gestation Causes Histone3 Lysine9 Hyperacetylation and an Alternation of Expression of Heart Development‐Related Genes in Mice
1 Sept 2014
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alcohol abuse during gestation may cause congenital heart diseases (CHDs). The underlying mechanisms of alcohol-induced cardiac deformities are still not clear. Recent studies suggest that histone modification may play a crucial role in this pathological process. Moreover, our previous studies reported that ethanol could induce histone3 lysine9 (H3K9) hyperacetylation and overexpression of heart...
