The methyl-CpG-binding domain 2 facilitates pulmonary fibrosis by orchestrating fibroblast to myofibroblast differentiation
27 Jan 2022
Abstract excerpt
Although DNA methylation has been recognised in the pathogenesis of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), the exact mechanisms are yet to be fully addressed. Herein, we demonstrate that lungs originated from IPF patients and mice after bleomycin (BLM)-induced pulmonary fibrosis are characterised by altered DNA methylation along with overexpression in myofibroblasts of methyl-CpG-binding domain 2 (MBD2), a reader...
