Expression of various genes is controlled by DNA methylation during mammalian development
Open accessAbstract
Despite thousands of articles about 5‐methylcytosine (m 5 C) residues in vertebrate DNA, there is still controversy concerning the role of genomic m 5 C in normal vertebrate development. Inverse correlations between expression and methylation are seen for many gene regulatory regions [Heard et al., 1997; Attwood et al., 2002; Plass and Soloway, 2002] although much vertebrate DNA methylation is in repeated sequences [Ehrlich et al., 1982]. At the heart of this debate is whether vertebrate DNA methylation has mainly a protective role in limiting expression of foreign DNA elements and endogenous transposons [Walsh and Bestor, 1999] or also is important in the regulation of the expression of diverse vertebrate genes involved in differentiation [Attwood et al., 2002]. Enough thorough studies have now been reported to show that many tissue‐ or development‐specific changes in methylation at vertebrate promoters, enhancers, or insulators regulate expression and are not simply inconsequential byproducts of expression differences. One line of evidence comes from mutants with inherited alterations in genes encoding DNA methyltransferases and from rodents or humans with somatically acquired changes in DNA methylation that illustrate the disease‐producing effects of abnormal methylation. Another type of evidence derives from studies of in vivo correlations between tissue‐specific changes in DNA methylation and gene expression coupled with experiments demonstrating cause‐and‐effect associations between DNA hyper‐ or hypomethylation and gene expression. In this review, I summarize some of the strong evidence from both types of studies. Taken together, these studies demonstrate that DNA methylation in mammals modulates expression of many genes during development, causing major changes in or important fine‐tuning of expression. Also, I discuss previously established and newly hypothesized mechanisms for this epigenetic control. J. Cell. Biochem. 88: 899–910, 2003. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
