Effects of specific DNMT gene depletion on cancer cell transformation and breast cancer cell invasion; toward selective DNMT inhibitors.
A hallmark of cancer is aberrant DNA methylation, consisting of global hypomethylation and regional hypermethylation of tumor suppressor genes. DNA methyltransferase inhibitors have been recognized as promising candidate anticancer drugs. Drug development has focused on DNA methylation inhibitors with the goal of activating tumor suppressor genes silenced by DNA methylation. 5-azacytidine (5-AC...
متن کاملSeparate and Combined Effects of DNMT and HDAC Inhibitors in Treating Human Multi-Drug Resistant Osteosarcoma HosDXR150 Cell Line
Understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying multi-drug resistance (MDR) is one of the major challenges in current cancer research. A phenomenon which is common to both intrinsic and acquired resistance, is the aberrant alteration of gene expression in drug-resistant cancers. Although such dysregulation depends on many possible causes, an epigenetic characterization is considered a main dr...
متن کاملThe Effect of 6-Thioguanine on Proliferation, Viability and Expression of the Genes DNMT 3A, DNMT 3B and HDAC3 in Lymphoid Cancer Cell Line Nalm6
Background: 6-thioguanine (6-TG) is one of the thiopurine drugs with successful use in oncology, especially for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). 6-TG is proposed to act as an epigenetic drug affecting DNA methylation. The aim of this study was to clarify the effect of 6-TG on the proliferation, viability and expression of genes coding for the enzymes DNA methyltransferase 3A and DNA methyltr...
متن کاملCyclooxygenase inhibitors combined with deuterium-enriched water augment cytotoxicity in A549 lung cancer cell line via activation of apoptosis and MAPK pathways
Objective(s): Combination chemotherapy is a rational strategy to increase patient response and tolerability and to decrease adverse effects and drug resistance. Recently, the use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) has been reported to be associated with reduction in occurrence of a variety of cancers including lung cancer. On the other hand, growing evidences suggest that deuteri...
متن کاملEvaluation of cytotoxicity mechanism of two cyclo-oxygenase-2 inhibitors in leukemia cell line
Introduction: Leukemia is considered one of the main causes of death, and current chemotherapeutic agents are unable to provide optimal responses due to chemo-resistance. Therefore, there is a constant need for new drugs. Cyclooxygenase- 2 (COX-2) inhibitors can be helpful by reducing the necessary dose of routine chemotherapeutic drugs. Herein, we evaluated the cytotoxicity activity as well...
