aberrant promoter methylation pattern of apoptotic gene apaf1 in myelodysplastic syndrome patients
objectives: myelodysplastic syndromes (mdss) include a diverse group of clonal bone marrow disorders characterized by ineffective hematopoiesis and pancytopenia. it was found that down regulation of apaf1 , a putative tumor suppressor gene, leads to resistance to chemotherapy and disease development in some cancers. in this study, we investigated the relation of apaf1 methylation status with it...
متن کاملPromoter Methylation of Four Tumor Suppressor Genes in Human Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma
Background & Objective: Papillary thyroid cancer (PTC) is considered to be the most common type of thyroid malignancies. Epigenetic alteration, in which the chromatin conformation and gene expression change without changing the sequence of DNA, can occur in some tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes. Methylation is the most common type of epigenetic alterations that can be an ex...
متن کاملTwo Steps Methylation Specific PCR for Assessment of APC Promoter Methylation in Gastric Adenocarcinoma
Gastric Cancer (GC) is the second most common cancer in the world and a leading cause of cancer-related mortality. Methylation of promoter CpG islands (CGIs) belonging to tumor suppressor genes causes transcriptional silencing of their corresponding genes leading to carcinogenesis and other disorders. Adenomatous Polyposis Coli (APC) a tumor suppressor gene is inactivated by methylation of prom...
متن کاملStudy of the role of siRNA mediated promoter methylation in DNMT3B knockdown and alteration of promoter methylation of CDH1, GSTP1 genes in MDA-MB -453 cell line
Promoter methylation is one of the main epigenetic mechanisms that lead to the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes during carcinogenesis. Due to the reversible nature of DNA methylation, many studies have been performed to correct theses epigenetic defects by inhibiting DNA methyltransferases (DNMTs). In this case novel therapeutics especially siRNA oligonucleotides have been used to specifi...
متن کاملDNA methylation of tumor suppressor genes in hepatocellular carcinoma
The basic unit of chromatin is a nucleosome included an octamer of the four core histones and 147 base pairs of DNA. Posttranslational histones modifications affect chromatin structure resulting in gene expression changes. CpG islands hypermethylation within the gene promoter regions and the deacetylation of histone proteins are the most common epigenetic modifications. The aberrant patterns of...
