Genetic Variants Related to Increased CKD Progression—A Systematic Review by Filipe S. Mira, Bárbara Oliveiros, Isabel Marques Carreira, Rui Alves, Ilda Patrícia Ribeiro

“…Several genetic variants were identified in genes that encode proteins related to metabolic processes, oxidative stress, immune regulation, the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone pathway, and epigenetics, among others. These genetic alterations can affect protein function and lead to renal damage, impacting CKD development and progression. …”

Hypoxia-induced CTCF mediates alternative splicing via coupling chromatin looping and RNA Pol II pause to promote EMT in breast cancer by Parik Kakani, Shruti Ganesh Dhamdhere, Deepak Pant, Rushikesh Joshi, Sachin Mishra, Anchala Pandey, Dimple Notani, Sanjeev Shukla

“…Summary: Hypoxia influences the epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) through the remodeling of the chromatin structure, epigenetics, and alternative splicing. Hypoxia drives CCCTC-binding factor (CTCF) induction through hypoxia-inducible factor 1-alpha (HIF1α), which promotes EMT, although the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. …”
