Methods: In this study, we investigated the changes in the expression and intracellular localization of DNA methyltransferase DNMT1, histone methyltransferases SUV39H1, and G9a in penumbra neurons and astrocytes at 4 and 24 h after stroke in the rat cerebral cortex using photothrombotic stroke (PTS) model. Here, SUV39H1 is linked to Stroke.
