Complex demethylation patterns at Sp1 binding sites in F9 embryonal carcinoma cells.

abstract：:The toxicity of the beta-amyloid (Abeta) peptide of Alzheimer's disease may relate to its polymerisation state (i.e. fibril content). We have shown previously that plasma lipoproteins, particularly when oxidised, greatly enhance Abeta polymerisation. In the present study the nature of the interactions between both nat...
