Simple Combinations of Lineage-Determining Transcription Factors Prime cis-Regulatory Elements Required for Macrophage and B Cell Identities

TL;DR: It is demonstrated in macrophages and B cells that collaborative interactions of the common factor PU.1 with small sets of macrophage- or B cell lineage-determining transcription factors establish cell-specific binding sites that are associated with the majority of promoter-distal H3K4me1-marked genomic regions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification and analysis of functional elements in 1% of the human genome by the ENCODE pilot project

Ewan Birney, +320 more
- 14 Jun 2007 - 
TL;DR: Functional data from multiple, diverse experiments performed on a targeted 1% of the human genome as part of the pilot phase of the ENCODE Project are reported, providing convincing evidence that the genome is pervasively transcribed, such that the majority of its bases can be found in primary transcripts.
Journal ArticleDOI

The peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma is a negative regulator of macrophage activation

TL;DR: It is shown that PPAR-γ is markedly upregulated in activated macrophages and inhibits the expression of the inducible nitric oxide synthase, gelatinase B and scavenger receptor A genes in response to 15d-PGJ2 and synthetic PPar-γ ligands, suggesting that PPARS and locally produced prostaglandin D2 metabolites are involved in the regulation of inflammatory responses.
Journal ArticleDOI

Atherosclerosis: The Road Ahead

TL;DR: Elevated levels of serum cholesterol are probably unique through the hepatic LDL receptor pathway, as evi-in being sufficient to drive the development of athero-denced by the fact that lack of functional LDL receptors sclerosis in humans and experimental animals, even in is responsible for the massive accumulation of LDL in the absence of other known risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

Mechanisms underlying inflammation in neurodegeneration.

TL;DR: There is evidence for a remarkable convergence in the mechanisms responsible for the sensing, transduction, and amplification of inflammatory processes that result in the production of neurotoxic mediators in neurodegenerative diseases.
