Investigating the role of histone H3 lysine 9 dimethylation in regulating disease-associated vascular smooth muscle cell gene expression
2019-01-01
Abstract excerpt
Widespread changes in gene expression accompany vascular smooth muscle cell (VSMC) phenotypic switching, a hallmark of vascular disease. Upon insult, VSMCs downregulate contractile proteins and upregulate genes linked to vascular remodelling, such as matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs) and pro-inflammatory cytokines. However, the epigenetic mechanisms which regulate VSMC phenotypic switching remain unclear. This thes...
