2018, Progress in Molecular Biology and Translational ScienceCitation Excerpt :In agreement with this, McCoy et al.32 also used MethylFlash to show a similar global pattern of hypermethylation in the hippocampus of male Wistar Kyoto rats. However, conversely, using a novel immunohistochemistry staining approach, Brown et al.23 showed no differences in global methylation in the hippocampus of Long Evans rats exposed to low and high LG-ABN. In studies that used methods with the capacity to interrogate site-specific patterns, such as MethylCap-seq, or genome-wide methods paired with bisfulfite sequencing at a targeted loci, the majority have found that ELA is associated with complex patterns of site-specific hyper- and hypomethylation clusters across the genome,43,49,186 suggesting a complex coordination of alterations in multiple enzymes.

2016, Physiology and BehaviorCitation Excerpt :At adulthood, the P7 alcohol-treated mice exhibited long-lasting synaptic and behavioral abnormalities [20–25]. DNA methylation is maintained by the combined function of DNMTs [26–30] and through the action of ten-eleven translocation (TET) proteins [31]. Methylated DNA functions during development to regulate gene expression [32].
