A bidirectional Mendelian randomization study integrating genome-wide association studies, expression quantitative trait locus, and methylation quantitative trait locus data reveal... by Zhou An, Meichun Zeng, Xianhua Wang

“…By incorporating consistent summary data-based Mendelian randomization associations between DNA methylation and smoke/Barrett’s esophagus, gene expression and smoke/Barrett’s esophagus, and DNA methylation and gene expression, we identified that the genetic variant-cg00935895-RBM43 (ENSG00000184898)-smoke/Barrett’s esophagus axis exerted an effect on smoke/Barrett’s esophagus by altering the DNA methylation level, which regulated the expression level of RBM43. …”

Nitric oxide as a mediator of inflammation?—You had better believe it by Mark J. S. Miller, Matthew B. Grisham

“…In order to appreciate the precise contributions of nitric oxide to a pathophysiological process, one must account for enzyme source, coproduction of oxidants and antioxidant defences, time, rate of nitric oxide production, cellular source, peroxynitrite formation and effects on DNA (mutagenesis/apoptosis). We contend that there is ample evidence to consider nitric oxide as a molecular aggressor in inflammation, particularly chronic inflammation. …”
