Epigenetic control in pituitary tumors.
Epigenetically-mediated gene dysregulation is a common feature associated with human pituitary tumorigenesis. The mechanisms leading to these changes, however, remain largely unknown. In this review, we examine changes responsible for DNA and histone modifications as independent, butpotentially interrlated modes of communication effecting chromatin remodeling. The dynamic properties of the enzy...
متن کاملEpigenetic dysregulation in glioma
Given that treatment options for patients with glioblastoma are limited, much effort has been made to clarify the underlying mechanisms of gliomagenesis. Recent genome-wide genomic and epigenomic analyses have revealed that mutations in epigenetic modifiers occur frequently in gliomas and that dysregulation of epigenetic mechanisms is closely associated with glioma formation. Given that epigene...
متن کاملEpigenetic dysregulation in cognitive disorders.
Epigenetic mechanisms are not only essential for biological functions requiring stable molecular changes such as the establishment of cell identity and tissue formation, they also constitute dynamic intracellular processes for translating environmental stimuli into modifications in gene expression. Over the past decade it has become increasingly clear that both aspects of epigenetic mechanisms ...
متن کاملEpigenetic Dysregulation in Laryngeal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Laryngeal carcinoma is a common head and neck cancer with poor prognosis. Patients with laryngeal carcinoma usually present late leading to the reduced treatment efficacy and high rate of recurrence. Despite the advance in the use of molecular markers for monitoring human cancers in the past decades, there are still no reliable markers for use to screen laryngeal carcinoma and follow the patien...
متن کاملEpigenetic alteration and microRNA dysregulation in cancer
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) play pivotal roles in numerous biological processes, and their dysregulation is a common feature of human cancer. Thanks to recent advances in the analysis of the cancer epigenome, we now know that epigenetic alterations, including aberrant DNA methylation and histone modifications, are major causes of miRNA dysregulation in cancer. Moreover, the list of miRNA genes silenced ...
