To investigate the healing process, researchers removed a small area of epithelial cells from the skin of mice, causing a wound. The researchers monitored the acetylation status of histone H4 at lysines K5, K8, and K16 on days 1, 4 and 9 after the wound was made. Cells in three regions were studied (see Figure A below): Normal epithelial cells not directly near the wound Epithelial cells adjacent to the wound The cells repopulating/repairing the wound (referred to as an “epithelial tongue” early in the process and “closed wound” later in the process) The percent of cells that were positive for H4 acetylation was recorded. The bar graph in Figure B below shows data for Days 4 and 9 for cells examined in the wound. While this experiment focused on mice, we may be able to apply the results to…arrow_forward
