“…Any involvement of the chromatin modifications on the PNPLA3 transcriptional machinery that orchestrates the PNPLA3-related network has yet to be known (see Sookoian & Pirola, 2014). Histone H3K9 acetylation in chromatin has been shown to increase in vitro in a hepatocyte model and in animal models in vivo of ALD (Aroor, Restrepo, Kharbanda, & Shukla, 2014; Shukla, Aroor, Restrepo, Kharbanda, & Ibdah, 2015; Shukla, Restrepo, Fish, Lim, & Ibdah, 2015). Increases in TG levels after acute, chronic, and acute on chronic exposure to alcohol were reported in rats (Aroor, Jackson, & Shukla, 2011) and mice (Shukla, Aroor, et al, 2015).…”
