Alteration of active and repressive histone marks during adipogenic differentiation of porcine mesenchymal stem cells

Abstract A characteristic spatial distribution of the main chromatin fractions is observed in most mammalian cell nuclei, with euchromatin localized in the interior and heterochromatin at the nuclear periphery. It has been shown that interactions of heterochromatin with the nuclear lamina are necess...

Alteration of active and repressive histone marks during adipogenic differentiation of porcine mesenchymal stem cells
description Abstract A characteristic spatial distribution of the main chromatin fractions is observed in most mammalian cell nuclei, with euchromatin localized in the interior and heterochromatin at the nuclear periphery. It has been shown that interactions of heterochromatin with the nuclear lamina are necessary to establish this conventional architecture. Adipocytes are specific cells in which a reduction in lamin A/C expression is observed. We hypothesize that the loss of lamin A/C during adipogenic differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) may be associated with the reorganization of the main classes of chromatin in the nucleus. Thus, in this study, we examine the abundance and nuclear distribution of selected heterochromatin (H3K9me3, H3K27me3 and H4K20me3) and euchromatin (H4K8ac, H3K4me3 and H3K9ac) histone marks during in vitro adipogenesis, using the pig as a model organism.
