Abstract: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) represents a major health risk to the global population. In disease settings, cells that constitute the vasculature undergo profound changes both morphologically and functionally paralleling alterations in gene expression profile. At the transcriptional level, gene expression is steered by the epigenetic machinery including DNA methyltransferases, histone variants, non-coding regulatory RNAs, chromatin remodeling complexes, and histone modifying enzymes. The N-terminal tails of histones, primarily histones H3 and H4, are post-translationally modified creating a unique platform for transcriptional regulation. This review summarizes our current understanding of the role of histone methylation in modulating the vascular transcriptome and its relevance in CVD with an outlook on future directions.

MKL1 mediates TNF-α induced pro-inflammatory transcription by bridging the crosstalk between BRG1 and WDR5
TL;DR: A role for MKL1 is illustrated in moderating the crosstalk between BRG1 and WDR5 to activate TNF-α induced pro-inflammatory transcription in macrophages and erase the H3K4 methylation from the gene promoters.

TL;DR: A doença cardiovascular (DCV) é uma doença complexa com múltiplos fatores genéticos e ambientais. A identificação dos determinantes genéticos de doenças comuns é desafiadora devido à heterogeneidade fenotípica e genética, interações gene-gene e gene-ambiente.

Genetics of Cardiovascular Disease: How Far Are We from Personalized CVD Risk Prediction and Management?
TL;DR: In this article, the authors focus on the second level of genetic information, namely, regulatory molecules (miRNAs) and epigenetic changes, predominantly DNA methylation and gene-environment interactions.
