DNA methylation, nuclear structure, gene expression and cancer.
DNA methylation, chromatin structure, transcription, and cancer have traditionally been studied as separate phenomena. Recent data provide now direct physical and functional links between these processes revealing a complex network of interactions and mutual dependences. Methylated DNA is bound by methyl-CpG binding protein (MeCP) complexes that include histone deacetylases (HDACs). This recrui...
متن کاملDNA Methylation, Nuclear Organization, and Cancer
The dramatic re-organization of the cancer cell nucleus creates telltale morphological features critical for pathological staging of tumors. In addition, the changes to the mutational and epigenetic landscape in cancer cells alter the structure and stability of the genome and directly contribute to malignancy. DNA methylation is one of the best studied epigenetic changes in cancer, as nearly ev...
متن کاملCHST11 gene expression and DNA methylation in breast cancer
Our previously published data link P-selectin-reactive chondroitin sulfate structures on the surface of breast cancer cells to metastatic behavior of cells. We have shown that a particular sulfation pattern mediated by the expression of carbohydrate (chondroitin 4) sulfotransferase-11 (CHST11) correlates with P-selectin binding and aggressiveness of human breast cancer cell lines. The present s...
متن کاملDNA methylation versus gene expression.
Vertebrate DNA is methylated at a high proportion of cytosine residues in the sequence CpG, and it has been suggested that the distribution of methylated and non-methylated CpGs in a given cell type influences the pattern of gene expression in those cells. Since a DNA methylation pattern is normally transmitted faithfully to daughter cells via cell division, this idea suggests an origin for sta...
متن کاملEffect of Cold Atmospheric Plasma on Gene Expression and Methylation of Genes Involved in Colorectal Cancer
Background and purpose: Colorectal cancer (CRC) is ranked as the second most common cancer in men and the third most common cancer in women worldwide. Routine treatments have many side effects and little efficiency. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of Cold Atmospheric Plasma (CAP) on epigenetic changes of some genes involved in CRC progression. Materials and methods: Prolif...
