Vitamin C induces specific demethylation of H3K9me2 in mouse embryonic stem cells via Kdm3a/b
12 Jul 2017
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Histone methylation patterns regulate gene expression and are highly dynamic during development. The erasure of histone methylation is carried out by histone demethylase enzymes. We had previously shown that vitamin C enhances the activity of Tet enzymes in embryonic stem (ES) cells, leading to DNA demethylation and activation of germline genes. RESULTS: We report here that vitamin C induces a...
