DNA Methylation in the Pathogenesis of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus.
2005-03-01
Abstract excerpt
Some forms of drug-induced lupus may be due to inhibition of T cell DNA methylation. DNA methylation modifies gene expression. In general, methylation of regulatory elements suppresses gene expression, while hypomethylation promotes gene expression. Methylation patterns are replicated during mitosis by a family of DNA methyltransferases, whose expression is regulated in part by signals transmitted through the extr...
