Statin drugs lower blood cholesterol levels for cardiovascular disease prevention. Women are more likely than men to experience adverse statin effects, particularly new-onset diabetes (NOD) and muscle weakness. Here we find that impaired glucose homeostasis and muscle weakness in statin-treated f...

The spatial proximity between regulatory elements and their target genes has a profound affect on gene expression. X Chromosome Inactivation (XCI) is an epigenetic process by which an entire chromosome is rendered, for the most part, transcriptionally silent. A few genes are known to escape XCI and ...

Binding of Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) and chromatin composition of the inactive X (Xi) before, during and after X chromosome inactivation reveal that spreading is driven by a combination of Xi-specific strong and moderate Ezh2 sites. Sequence context of these sites shows a moderate enrichm...

Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) offer opportunity for insight into the genetic requirements of the X chromosome for somatic and germline development. Turner syndrome is caused by complete or partial loss of the second sex chromosome; while more than 90% of Turner cases result in spontaneous f...

Comparison of human iPSC lines, ESC and fibroblasts to determine their expression patterns. All early passage female lines profiled expressed XIST RNA which is an indicator of an inactive X chromosome. Genes on the X-chromosome were also analyzed for overall levels of gene expression compared to h...

The goal of this study is to identify genes that show altered transcript levels in lymphoblasts from male patients with XLMR as candidate genes that are responsible for XLMR. Keywords: disease state Using a custom X chromosome cDNA microarray, we studied X chromosome gene expression in lymphoblasts ...

MSL (Male-specific lethal) complex increases transcription on the single X chromosome of Drosophila males in order to equalize expression of X-linked genes between males (XY) and females (XX). The increase in transcript levels correlates with MSL- dependent acetylation of histone H4 at K16 within th...

Drosophila MSL complex binds the single male X chromosome to upregulate gene expression to equal that from the two female X chromosomes. However, it has been puzzling that ~25% of transcribed genes on the X do not stably recruit MSL complex. Here, we find that almost all active genes on the X are ...

X chromosome inactivation involves multiple levels of chromatin modification, established progressively and in a stepwise manner during early development. The chromosomal protein Smchd1 has recently been shown to play an important role in DNA methylation of CpG islands (CGIs), a late step in the X i...
