It is generally accepted that tumors are angiogenesis-dependent. For research and clinical purposes it would be very attractive to have a simple in vitro model that allows a rapid screening of the angiogenic potential of tumors and to study the effect of angiogenic inhibitors. In vitro angiogenesis models were developed, based on endothelial sprouting/tube formation on a collagen gel, using both tumor cell lines and tumor biopsies. Best results were obtained using conditioned medium of tumor cell lines. In this model it was found that the plasminogen fragment lysine binding site 1 (LBS-1) inhibited in vitro endothelial cell sprouting. This is the first demonstration that LBS-1, which includes angiostatin, is inhibitory for new vessel formation in an in vitro angiogenesis model. We conclude that the assay system allows for rapid and reliable screening of angiogenesis inhibitors.

Histone acetylation is the process by which histone acetyltransferases (HATs) add an acetyl group to the N-terminal lysine residues of histones, resulting in a more open chromatin structure. Histone acetylation tends to increase gene expression more than methylation does. In the central nervous system (CNS), histone acetylation is essential for controlling the expression of genes linked to cognition and learning.

The bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) is an epigenetic regulatory 'reader' belonging to the bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) family. Several studies have demonstrated that the high expression of BRD4 is closely related to the occurrence and development of various cancers, so BRD4 has become a promising target for cancer treatment. However, there are no drugs targeting BRD4 available on the market, the development of novel BRD4 inhibitors is of great significance.

Temporal decline in microRNA miR156 expression is crucial for the transition to, and maintenance of, the adult phase and flowering competence in flowering plants. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying the temporal regulation of miR156 reduction remain largely unknown. Here, we investigated the epigenetic mechanism regulating the temporal silencing of cin-MIR156 in wild chrysanthemum (Chrysanthemum indicum), focusing on the role of the lysine-specific demethylase CiLDL1 and the nuclear factor Y complex.

In recent years, it was found that lysine malonylation modification can affect biological metabolism and play an important role in plant life activities. Platycodon grandiflorus, an economic crop and medicinal plant, had no reports on malonylation in the related literature. This study qualitatively introduces lysine malonylation in P.
