Epigenetic dysfunction of MeCP2 in chronic heart failure (B03)

Reference: B03 – Subproject to SFB 992: Medical Epigenetics (MEDEP) From basic mechanisms to clinical applications Abstract: The methyl-CpG-binding protein 2 (MeCP2) detects symmetrically methylated cytosine-guanine sequences (CpG) in the genomic DNA and modulate gene expression by recruiting coactivator and corepressor-proteins.ᅠWe found that MeCP2 is significantly downregulated in hypertrophic and failing heart.ᅠThe functional significance of … Read more
