Open AccessEpigenetic regulation of B cells and its role in autoimmune pathogenesis
B cells play a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Although previous studies have shown many genetic polymorphisms associated with B-cell activation in patients with various autoimmune dis...

A truncating mutation of HDAC2 in human cancers confers resistance to histone deacetylase inhibition
Disruption of histone acetylation patterns is a common feature of cancer cells, but very little is known about its genetic basis. We have identified truncating mutations in one of the primary human histone dea...

Loss of acetylation at Lys16 and trimethylation at Lys20 of histone H4 is a common hallmark of human cancer
CpG island hypermethylation and global genomic hypomethylation are common epigenetic features of cancer cells. Less attention has been focused on histone modifications in cancer cells. We characterized post-tr...

Mi-2 complex couples DNA methylation to chromatin remodelling and histone deacetylation
Methylation of DNA at the dinucleotide CpG is essential for mammalian development and is correlated with stable transcriptional silencing1,2,3. This transcriptional silencing has recently been linked at a molecul...
