| Research Abstract |
Epigenetic mechanisms are considered to be a putative machinery for controlling cell cycle kinetics of neuronal progenitor cells (NPCs) that forms cerebral cortex in mammals. According to our previous results from specific gene overexpression/loss-of-function experiments and in utero exposure to dioxin analysis, we have observed buffering phenomena to maintain normal cell cycle length of the NPCs by adjusting lengths of each phase of the cell cycle. Taken together, we investigated roles of epigenetic mechanisms in cell cycle regulation in NPCs which forms cerebral cortex in vivo. Especially, the research focus was put upon the regulation of histone acetylation by histone deacetylase.
