The phrase "associated repression of" is correct and usable in written English.
It can be used in contexts discussing psychological, social, or political phenomena where repression is linked to certain associations or factors.
Example: "The study examined the associated repression of traumatic memories in individuals who experienced significant loss."
Alternatives: "related suppression of" or "connected inhibition of".
These findings suggest that global epigenetic modifications are necessary, but not sufficient to trans-differentiate fibroblasts into oligodendrocytes, and underscore the importance of chromatin compaction and the associated repression of inhibitory events for the differentiation of myelinating cells.
Caudal is a Drosophila orthologue of CDX2 and we found Dichaete binding and associated repression of cad, hinting at further levels of regulatory network conservation across metazoa.
An increase in repressive marks is associated with repression of the PEV reporter gene, and conversely, a decrease in repressive marks is associated with increased expression of the PEV reporter gene among a population of cells [ 25, 26].
Taken together, these studies implicate endothelial Cx43 in hypoxia-associated repression of endothelial ATP release.
Importantly, LNA-miR-9, but not LNA-SCR or untransfected controls, specifically prevented the differentiation-associated repression of SIRT1 protein.
Thus, DNA methylation is a double-edged sword in maintaining proper growth controls in that too much methylation enhances tumor-associated repression of repair genes, but too little methylation enhances genomic instability in repetitive regions that require a heterochromatic state for their stability.
It is well established that hypomethylation is associated with transcriptional activation, whereas hypermethylation is associated with repression of transcription [23].
Histone acetylation is most commonly associated with repression of transcription, whereas histone methylation is associated with both transcriptional activation and repression.
Many CGIs are associated with gene promoters [ 4, 5], and methylation at CGIs is associated with repression of transcription [ 6, 7].
In general, DNA methylation in promoter regions is shown to be associated with repression of gene expression, which also holds true for some genes previously associated with breast cancer development.
In general, increased levels of acetylation (high HAT levels) are associated with increased transcriptional activity, whereas decreased acetylation levels (high HDAC levels) are associated with repression of transcription (reviewed in [ 3]).
