Stress-induced RNA–chromatin interactions promote endothelial dysfunction
Abstract
Global interaction of chromatin-associated RNAs and DNA can be identified in situ. Here the authors report the genome-wide increase of interchromosomal RNA-DNA interactions and demonstrate the importance of such RNA-DNA contacts exemplified by LINC00607 RNA and SERPINE1 gene’s super enhancer in dysfunctional endothelial cell models.
