Loss of Msh2 and a single-radiation hit induce common, genome-wide, and persistent epigenetic changes in the intestine
27 Apr 2019
Abstract excerpt
Mismatch repair (MMR)-deficiency increases the risk of colorectal tumorigenesis. To determine whether the tumors develop on a normal or disturbed epigenetic background and how radiation affects this, we quantified genome-wide histone H3 methylation profiles in macroscopic normal intestinal tissue of young radiated and untreated MMR-deficient VCMsh2 LoxP/LoxP ( Msh2 −/− ) mice months before tumor onset. Histone H3...
