Global DNA hypomethylation and hypoxia‐induced expression of the ten eleven translocation ( TET ) family, TET 1, in scleroderma fibroblasts
25 May 2015
Abstract excerpt
The precise mechanisms of tissue fibrosis have not yet been elucidated in systemic sclerosis (SSc). However, studies of the regulation of DNA methylation, the most widely studied epigenetic mechanism, have confirmed the involvement of the TET family proteins, recently identified DNA demethylases, in the pathogenesis of SSc. The mRNA levels of TET family members were compared in normal and SSc fibroblasts. The...
