Psoriasis is a multifactorial, chronic, and inflammatory disease that severely impacts patients' quality of life. The disease is caused by genetic irregularities affected by epigenetic and environmental factors. Some of these factors may include seasonal changes, such as solar radiation, air pollution, and humidity, and changes in circadian rhythm, especially in the temporal and polar zones. Thus, some psoriasis patients report seasonal variability of symptoms. Through a comprehensive review, we aim to delve deeper into the intricate interplay between seasonality, environmental factors, and the genetic and epigenetic landscape of psoriasis. By elucidating these complex relationships, we strive to provide insights that may inform targeted interventions and personalized management strategies for individuals living with psoriasis.

Post-transcriptional regulation of the transcriptional apparatus in neuronal development.

Post-transcriptional mechanisms, such as alternative splicing and polyadenylation, are recognized as critical regulatory processes that increase transcriptomic and proteomic diversity. The advent of next-generation sequencing and whole-genome analyses has revealed that numerous transcription and epigenetic regulators, including transcription factors and histone-modifying enzymes, undergo alternative splicing, most notably in the nervous system. Given the complexity of regulatory processes in the brain, it is conceivable that many of these splice variants control different aspects of neuronal development.

Consequently, melanoma cells must rapidly evolve to evade immune detection by simultaneously modulating cell-autonomous epigenetic mechanisms and tumor-microenvironment interactions. Angiogenesis has been implicated in this process; although an increase of vasculature initiates the immune response in normal tissue, solid tumors manage to somehow enhance blood flow while preventing immune cell infiltration.

Despite much work, LAD structure and regulation are not fully understood, and a mounting number of studies have identified numerous genetic and epigenetic differences within LADs, demonstrating they are not a uniform group. Here we profile Lamin B1, HP1β, H3K9me3, H3K9me2, H3K27me3, H3K14ac, H3K27ac, and H3K9ac in MEF cell lines derived from the same mouse colony and cluster LADs based on the abundance and distribution of these features across LADs.

However, locus-specific epigenetic alterations contributing to cancer initiation and progression remain only partly described, creating knowledge gaps about functionally significant tumor suppressors and underlying mechanisms associated with their inactivation. Here, we show that PAX2 is an endometrial tumor suppressor recurrently inactivated by a distinct epigenetic reprogramming event not associated with promoter hypermethylation.

Cancer cell heterogeneity is largely attributed to distinct genetic changes within each cell population. However, the widespread epigenome repatterning that characterizes most cancers is also highly heterogenous within tumors and could generate cells with diverse identities and malignant features.
