Does vitamin D Deficiency add an Element of Risk to Insulin Resistance in Colorectal Neoplasms?
IR increases the risk of CRNs, and a combination of IR and VitDdef further increases this risk. As both VitDdef and IR are modifiable risk factors, such associations may have important clinical implications in the prevention of CRNs.
These studies uncover a novel function for SET that mechanistically couples transcriptional derepression with H1 dynamics. Furthermore, they underscore the significance of chaperone-dependent H1 displacement as an essential early step in the transition of a promoter from a dense chromatin state into one that is permissive to transcription factor binding and robust activation.
