Title
Epigenetic regulation of cyclooxygenase-2 by methylation of c8orf4 in pulmonary fibrosis
Year
2016
Function
"Decreased capacity of fibrotic lung fibroblasts to up-regulate COX-2 expression and COX-2-derived PGE2 synthesis is due to an indirect epigenetic mechanism involving hypermethylation of the transcriptional regulator, c8orf4."
