Dynamic chromatin accessibility landscape changes in cardiac fibrosis
Cardiac fibrosis is characterized by the activation and abnormal proliferation of cardiac fibroblasts into myofibroblasts, which secrete excessive amounts of extracellular matrix proteins. Dynamic changes in chromatin accessibility regulate the structural accessibility of chromatin DNA during transcription and replication. Chromatin accessibility influences gene expression by modulating the interactions between cis-regulatory elements and trans-acting factors. Under pathological conditions, alterations in chromatin accessibility lead to changes in the expression of fibrosis-related genes, thereby contributing to the onset and progression of cardiac fibrosis. In this review, we summarize current methods for measuring chromatin accessibility and examine the roles of chromatin dynamics and transcription factors in the regulation of cardiac fibrosis.
期刊介绍:
Drug Discovery Today delivers informed and highly current reviews for the discovery community. The magazine addresses not only the rapid scientific developments in drug discovery associated technologies but also the management, commercial and regulatory issues that increasingly play a part in how R&D is planned, structured and executed.
Features include comment by international experts, news and analysis of important developments, reviews of key scientific and strategic issues, overviews of recent progress in specific therapeutic areas and conference reports.
