4 sty 2012 · In plants and animals, different epigenetic modifications, including DNA methylation, can have long-term effects on gene expression. The environment affects gene expression and phenotypes, both...
19 kwi 2024 · Plants can absorb air pollutants through stomata. They adversely affect the various metabolic and physiological processes of plant species. This review describes the impact of air pollution on plant health, morphologically, physiologically, and genetically, and the tolerance ability of plants located along roadside areas.
30 cze 2022 · Air pollution, including NO 2 and PM, affects DNA methylation at the NXN gene, at which DNA methylation is also associated with obesity, glucose level, and blood pressure. This gene encodes nucleoredoxin, a regulator of Wnt signaling pathway and in utero embryonic development [ 125 , 126 ].
Recombinant DNA technology has contributed to health care in two important ways: production of pharmaceutically important proteins (biopharmaceuticals) and gene therapy for replacement of defective genes.
3 wrz 2019 · In addition to health effects, exposure to air pollution can alter epigenetic marks, in particular, DNA methylation (DNAm). However, our understanding of how air pollution modulates DNAm in the lungs and beyond, and how these changes in DNAm influence the associated health outcomes, remains modest.
22 sty 2015 · Methyl groups changed at about 2,800 different points on the DNA of people who breathed in diesel fumes. Those changes affected about 400 genes. No similar changes were seen among people breathing the clean air.
6 lis 2019 · Recent evidence suggests that exposure to pollutants such as arsenic, nickel, cadmium, mercury, benzene, dioxin, bisphenol A and diethylstilbestrol can interrupt the epigenetic factors of the genome. These changes are responsible for the etiology of various cancers and diseases (Fragou et al. 2011).
