Analysis of global DNA methylation and epigenetic modifiers (DNMTs and HDACs) in human foetal endothelium exposed to gestational and type 2 diabetes
17 Apr 2023
Abstract excerpt
Foetuses exposed to maternal gestational diabetes (GDM) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) have an increased risk of adverse perinatal outcomes. Epigenetic mechanisms, including DNA methylation and histone modifications, may act as mediators of persistent metabolic memory in endothelial cells (ECs) exposed to hyperglycaemia, even after glucose normalization. Therefore, we investigated alterations in global DNA methylation...
