Tet1 and Tet2 maintain mesenchymal stem cell homeostasis via demethylation of the P2rX7 promoter

Tet-mediated DNA oxidation converts 5-methylcytosine (5-mC) to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5-hmC), which is essential to regulate different biological processes. Here the authors show that Tet1 and Tet2 regulate mesenchymal stem cell and bone homeostasis through demethylation of P2rX7 promoter.
