Diabetes Induces Aberrant DNA Methylation in the Proximal Tubules of the Kidney
5 Feb 2015
Abstract excerpt
Epigenetic mechanisms may underlie the progression of diabetic kidney disease. Because the kidney is a heterogeneous organ with different cell types, we investigated DNA methylation status of the kidney in a cell type-specific manner. We first identified genes specifically demethylated in the normal proximal tubules obtained from control db/m mice, and next delineated the candidate disease-modifying genes bearing...
