Time dependence of X gene reactivation induced by 5-azacytidine: possible progressive restructuring of chromatin
Exp Cell Res.
1987 Oct.
Abstract
According to the theoretical mechanism of DNA demethylation by 5-azacytidine, the complete demethylation of one site will require two cell divisions. If reexpression is directly related to demethylation, a maximal reexpression is expected after two cell divisions. In a hamster X human hybrid cell line containing an inactive human X chromosome treated by 5-azacytidine, we show that HPRT reactivation frequency is increased more than 10-fold when cells are allowed to divide 14 times before the selection for the HPRT reactivants. We suggest that the delay corresponds to changes in chromatin conformation.
