| Abstract | Targeted repression of a subset of key genes involved in tissue remodeling is a cardinal feature of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The mechanism is unclear but is potentially important in disease pathogenesis and therapeutic targeting. We have previously reported that defective histone acetylation is responsible for the repression of the antifibrotic cyclooxygenase-2 gene. Here we extended our study to the repression of another antifibrotic gene, the potent angiostatic chemokine gamma interferon (IFN-γ)-inducible protein of 10 kDa (IP-10), in lung fibroblasts from patients with IPF. We revealed that this involved not only histone deacetylation, as with cyclooxygenase-2 repression, but also histone H3 hypermethylation, as a result of decreased recruitment of histone acetyltransferases and increased presence of histone deacetylase (HDAC)-containing repressor complexes, histone methyltransferases G9a and SUV39H1, and heterochromatin protein 1 at the IP-10 promoter, leading to reduced transcription factor binding. More importantly, treatment of diseased cells with HDAC or G9a inhibitors similarly reversed the repressive histone deacetylation and hypermethylation and restored IP-10 expression. These findings strongly suggest that epigenetic dysregulation involving interactions between histone deacetylation and hypermethylation is responsible for targeted repression of IP-10 and potentially other antifibrotic genes in fibrotic lung disease and that this is amenable to therapeutic targeting. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
