摘要

A decrease in?mRNA levels?for?cytochrome?c oxidase?(COX)?subunits wasobserved?in skeletal muscle of?hypothyroid rats.?However, the precise expression mechanisms?of the related?genes?in?hypothyroid state?still remain unclear. This study investigated gene expressions?of DNA methyltransferases (Dnmts), DNA demethylases and?Cox4?in skeletal muscle of thyroidectomized rats. The findingsshowed that,?the?mRNA levels of genes encoding?Dnmts?and DNA demethylases were up-regulated?while?the mRNA levels of?Cox4?down-regulated. These resultsimply?that, DNA methylation might down-regulate?Cox4?expression?and induce?a compensatory mechanism for avoiding an excessive incorporation of 5-mC into DNA.
