RNAi-mediated knockdown of MTA2 in mouse preimplantation embryos leads to biallelic expression of the normally maternally-expressed H19 gene and loss of DNA methylation at the H19 differentially methylated region, and biallelic expression of the paternally-expressed Peg3 gene, demonstrating MTA2 is required within the NuRD complex for maintaining genomic imprinting. |

MTA2 is transcriptionally upregulated by HIF-1α through a hypoxia response element (HRE) in the MTA2 promoter; reciprocally, MTA2 deacetylates HIF-1α and enhances its stability via interaction with HDAC1; HIF-1α then recruits MTA2 and HDAC1 to the E-cadherin promoter to repress its transcription in pancreatic carcinoma. |
