HIGHLIGHTED TOPIC Epigenetics in Health and Disease Epigenetics and cancer
Kanwal R, Gupta S. Epigenetics and cancer. J Appl Physiol 109: 598–605, 2010. First published March 4, 2010; doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.00066.2010.— Epigenetic modifications are central to many human diseases, including cancer. Traditionally, cancer has been viewed as a genetic disease, and it is now becoming apparent that the onset of cancer is preceded by epigenetic abnormalities. Investigators...
متن کاملEpigenetics, DNA methylation, and chromatin modifying drugs.
Evidence is emerging that several diseases and behavioral pathologies result from defects in gene function. The best-studied example is cancer, but other diseases such as autoimmune disease, asthma, type 2 diabetes, metabolic disorders, and autism display aberrant gene expression. Gene function may be altered by either a change in the sequence of the DNA or a change in epigenetic programming of...
متن کاملAbnormal DNA methylation, epigenetics, and prostate cancer.
Human prostatic carcinogenesis is characterized by the accumulation of both genetic and epigenetic alterations. The epigenetic changes appear earlier and more consistently, and because the DNA sequence remains intact, may be therapeutically reversible. The mechanism(s) by which epigenetic changes appear during the pathogenesis of prostate cancer have not been established. Nonetheless, new metho...
متن کاملsiRNAs and DNA methylation: seedy epigenetics.
To understand how DNA sequence is translated to phenotype we must understand the epigenetic features that regulate gene expression. Recent research illuminates the complex interactions between DNA methylation, small RNAs, silencing of transposable elements, and genomic imprinting in the Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) seed. These studies suggest that transposable elements reactivated in spec...
متن کاملEpigenetics of prostate cancer: beyond DNA methylation
Epigenetic mechanisms permit the stable inheritance of cellular properties without changes in DNA sequence or amount. In prostate carcinoma, epigenetic mechanisms are essential for development and progression, complementing, amplifying and diversifying genetic alterations. DNA hypermethylation affects at least 30 individual genes, while repetitive sequences including retrotransposons and select...
