Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Epigenetic status such as DNA methylation and histone protein modification is believed to be involved in the pathophyshiology of neuropsychiatric disorders. However, impact of various treatment drugs on epigenetic status remain unclear. In this project, I systematically examined the effect of antipsychotics on DNA methylation using neuroblastoma cell line.
