Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Reversible DNA methylation contributes to vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotypic plasticity. This plasticity contributes to vascular growth and remodeling but also underlies pathologies, including intimal hyperplasia. We investigated the role of SUV39H1 (suppressor of variegation 3-9 homolog 1), a histone methyltransferase that generates trimethylation at histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9me3), a...
