Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Asthma is the most frequent disease among children, and its pathogenesis is thought due to genetic factor and environmental factor. We researched about DNA methylation of Forkhead box transcription factor3 (Foxp3), transcription factor in Treg cell and Alu-1, index of global DNA methylation in three regions (Tokyo, Kofu, Ina). In Tokyo, DNA methylation of Foxp3 among the asthma children was decreased, but in Kofu, it was increased significantly. In Ina, there was no significant difference between the asthma children and control. There was a significant difference of DNA methylation of Foxp3 between the three regions. In Tokyo, DNA methylation of Alu-1 among the asthma children was decreased in one part and increased in the other part significantly. In Kofu and Ina, there was no significant difference between the asthma children and control. There was a significant difference of DNA methylation of Alu-1 between the three regions.
