Gene enhancer deregulation and epigenetic vulnerability
One major goal of cancer research is to identify tumor-specific mechanisms that sustain cell proliferation or survival and to develop the corresponding therapies that target selectively against tumor. Recent sequencing of primary tumor samples supports that aberration of chromatin modification and epigenetic states plays a central role in oncogenesis. For example, mutation of DNA methyltransfer...
متن کاملNotch signaling deregulation in multiple myeloma: A rational molecular target
Despite recent therapeutic advances, multiple myeloma (MM) is still an incurable neoplasia due to intrinsic or acquired resistance to therapy. Myeloma cell localization in the bone marrow milieu allows direct interactions between tumor cells and non-tumor bone marrow cells which promote neoplastic cell growth, survival, bone disease, acquisition of drug resistance and consequent relapse. Twenty...
متن کاملA Single Oncogenic Enhancer Rearrangement Causes Concomitant EVI1 and GATA2 Deregulation in Leukemia
Chromosomal rearrangements without gene fusions have been implicated in leukemogenesis by causing deregulation of proto-oncogenes via relocation of cryptic regulatory DNA elements. AML with inv(3)/t(3;3) is associated with aberrant expression of the stem-cell regulator EVI1. Applying functional genomics and genome-engineering, we demonstrate that both 3q rearrangements reposition a distal GATA2...
متن کاملMolecular Mechanisms of p53 Deregulation in Cancer: An Overview in Multiple Myeloma
The p53 pathway is inactivated in the majority of human cancers. Although this perturbation frequently occurs through the mutation or deletion of p53 itself, there are other mechanisms that can attenuate the pathway and contribute to tumorigenesis. For example, overexpression of important p53 negative regulators, such as murine double minute 2 (MDM2) or murine double minute 4 (MDM4), epigenetic...
متن کاملDeregulation of DNA Double-Strand Break Repair in Multiple Myeloma: Implications for Genome Stability
Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignancy characterized by frequent chromosome abnormalities. However, the molecular basis for this genome instability remains unknown. Since both impaired and hyperactive double strand break (DSB) repair pathways can result in DNA rearrangements, we investigated the functionality of DSB repair in MM cells. Repair kinetics of ionizing-radiation (IR)-ind...
