| Research Abstract |
The object of this study is to clarify the epigenetic changes in pulmonary fibrosis. In vivo study using silica-induced mouse fibrosis model revealed that the DNA methylation level was unchanged, but the protein level of DNMT3B, which catalysis DNA methylation, was increased in fibrosis lung. In vitro study also showed the increase of this protein. The increase of DNMT3B protein may play important role in pulmonary fibrosis.
