Epigenetic inhibitors attenuate pathological gene expression in cardiomyocytes

Epigenetic modulators have been proposed as promising new drug targets to treat adverse remodeling in heart failure. Here, we evaluated the potential of 4 epigenetic drugs, including the pan-BRD (bromodomain-containing protein) inhibitor bromosporine, the BET (bromodomain and extraterminal) inhibitor JQ1, more…

The heterocellular heart requires cell type-specific epigenetic analysis to uncover the impact of diabetes

The aim of this study was to investigate the impact of diabetes on gene expression and DNA methylation in cardiac cells. Cell type-specific analysis performed in this study reveals differentially regulated gene programs in diabetes that are associated with disease-relevant more…
