Research Abstract

It is not fully elucidated the role of arachnoid cells in the course of subarachnoid hemorrhage. It was found that arachnoid cells could contribute to the recovery from cerebrovascular diseases. To elucidate the transcriptional regulation mechanism of arachnoid cells, we performed comprehensive transcriptional analysis followed by epigenetic analysis. We found some of histone modifications were dynamically changed, suggesting the importance of chromatin dynamics of arachnoid cells. Based on the outcome of this project, further study is now ongoing to confirm and validate the significance of these findings.
