101	Epigenetic Basis for Heterogeneity in VCAM-1 Gene Expression Patterns in Cytokine Activated Vascular Endothelium Jamal, Alisha Noorin 01 January 2011 (has links) Vascular cell adhesion molecule-1 (VCAM-1) is a cytokine-activated protein present on endothelial cells (ECs). Our laboratory has provided evidence that DNA methylation, a mark associated with gene silencing, is fundamental for regulating VCAM-1 expression. First, we showed that RNA polymerase II, preferentially associates with VCAM-1 hypomethylated alleles. This finding was confirmed using fluorescence-activated cell sorting (FACS) to sort populations of cytokine-activated ECs with high vs. low cell surface VCAM-1 expression. We found that ECs with high VCAM-1 expression were hypomethylated at the promoter. We then went on to show that populations of cells generated from single ECs exhibit differential VCAM-1 methylation from one another, and from the original founder population. Intriguingly, our data shows that VCAM-1 mRNA levels differ between the clones, and correlate with the observed differences in DNA methylation. Taken together, this data provides exciting evidence that DNA methylation is important in the regulation of VCAM-1 gene expression. Pathology Biology Vascular Endothelium Epigenetics VCAM-1 0307 0369
