Cadmium exposure induces multigenerational inheritance of germ cell apoptosis and fertility suppression in Caenorhabditis elegans
14 Aug 2024
Abstract excerpt
• Cd exposure triggers epigenetic changes resulting in a transgenerational increase in germ cell apoptosis and an intergenerational decrease in fertility in C. elegans . • The transgenerational epigenetic inheritance effect induced by Cd exposure depends on the transcription factors DAF-16/FOXO and SKN-1/Nrf2. • H3K4me3 modifications act as epigenetic marks in the Cd exposure-induced transgenerational epigenetic...
