Dietary components as epigenetic-regulating agents against cancer.
Carcinogenesis is a complicated process that involves the deregulation of epigenetics resulting in cellular transformational events, such proliferation, differentiation, and metastasis. Epigenetic machinery changes the accessibility of chromatin to transcriptional regulation through DNA modification. The collaboration of epigenetics and gene transcriptional regulation creates a suitable microen...
متن کاملDendritic cells as therapeutic agents against cancer.
Dendritic cells (DC) are antigen-presenting cells whose immunobiology has been proven to be central to the function of the immune system. Further understanding of these cells is leading the way to the manipulation of the immune system as a tool to cure and prevent a vast array of diseases including cancers. These cells have been used in trials as vaccine adjuvants in therapies that aim to break...
متن کاملGold nanoparticles as cancer theranostic agents
The application of nanotechnology in medicine involves using nanomaterials to develop novel therapeutic and diagnostic modalities. Given the unique physiochemical and optical properties of gold nanoparticle (GNP) such as good biocompatibility, nontoxic nature, surface properties and comparative stability, it has been widely studied in medicine, especially as a cancer theranostic agent. Th...
متن کاملEpigenetic events associated with breast cancer and their prevention by dietary components targeting the epigenome.
Aberrant epigenetic alterations in the genome such as DNA methylation and chromatin remodeling play a significant role in breast cancer development. Since epigenetic alterations are considered to be more easily reversible compared to genetic changes, epigenetic therapy is potentially very useful in reversing some of these defects. Methylation of CpG islands is an important component of the epig...
متن کاملNSAIDs as Cancer Preventive Agents NSAIDs as Cancer Preventive Agents
Introduction: Targeting of inflammatory states with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID’S) is an attractive proposition for cancer prevention. There is abundant epidemiological and experimental evidence that NSAID’S can inhibit tumour development in a number of organs and such drugs have given positive results in human intervention studies. It is hoped that problems with side effects c...
