1 20107077 Depolarized mouse neuronal cortical cells were examined for increased Slc6a2 mRNA synthesis, changes in CpG methylation status using bisulfite sequencing, and binding of MeCP2 and Smarca2 on the Slc6a2 promoter sequence by chromatin immunopurification strategies.
2 20107077 Increased Slc6a2 gene expression in response to membrane depolarization was strongly correlated with the dissociation of MeCP2 and Smarca2 complex on the unmethylated gene.
3 20107077 We identified that gene expression in neuronal cortical cells involves increased histone hyperacetylation on the Slc6a2 promoter, which is commensurate with the recruitment of SP1 and RNA Polymerase II and is inversely correlated with H3K9 trimethylation.
4 20107077 Depolarized mouse neuronal cortical cells were examined for increased Slc6a2 mRNA synthesis, changes in CpG methylation status using bisulfite sequencing, and binding of MeCP2 and Smarca2 on the Slc6a2 promoter sequence by chromatin immunopurification strategies.
5 20107077 Increased Slc6a2 gene expression in response to membrane depolarization was strongly correlated with the dissociation of MeCP2 and Smarca2 complex on the unmethylated gene.
6 20107077 We identified that gene expression in neuronal cortical cells involves increased histone hyperacetylation on the Slc6a2 promoter, which is commensurate with the recruitment of SP1 and RNA Polymerase II and is inversely correlated with H3K9 trimethylation.
7 22371606 Here, we show that neuronal insults trigger activation of REST and CoREST in a clinically relevant model of ischemic stroke and that REST binds a subset of "transcriptionally responsive" genes (gria2, grin1, chrnb2, nefh, nfκb2, trpv1, chrm4, and syt6), of which the AMPA receptor subunit GluA2 is a top hit.
8 22371606 We further show that REST assembles with CoREST, mSin3A, histone deacetylases 1 and 2, histone methyl-transferase G9a, and methyl CpG binding protein 2 at the promoters of target genes, where it orchestrates epigenetic remodeling and gene silencing.
