Suppression of Klotho expression by protein-bound uremic toxins is associated with increased DNA methyltransferase expression and DNA hypermethylation
The expression of the renoprotective antiaging gene Klotho is decreased in uremia. Recent studies suggest that Klotho may be a tumor suppressor, and its expression may be repressed by DNA hypermethylation in cancer cells. Here we investigated the effects and possible mechanisms by which Klotho expression is regulated during uremia in uninephrectomized B-6 mice given the uremic toxins indoxyl su...
متن کاملEpigenetic Guardian: A Review of the DNA Methyltransferase DNMT3A in Acute Myeloid Leukaemia and Clonal Haematopoiesis
Acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) is a haematological malignancy characterized by clonal stem cell proliferation and aberrant block in differentiation. Dysfunction of epigenetic modifiers contributes significantly to the pathogenesis of AML. One frequently mutated gene involved in epigenetic modification is DNMT3A (DNA methyltransferase-3-alpha), a DNA methyltransferase that alters gene expression ...
متن کاملIncreased expression of DNA methyltransferase-1 in non-neoplastic epithelium helps predict colorectal neoplasia risk in ulcerative colitis.
AIMS To clarify the possible significance of increased expression of DNA methyltransferase (DNMT)-1 in the tumorigenesis of colorectal neoplasia in ulcerative colitis (UC) and to clarify whether analysis of DNMT1 expression in non-neoplastic epithelium can contribute to the prediction of increased risk for UC-associated neoplasia. METHODS Sixty-two patients with long-standing and extensive UC...
متن کاملAbnormal regulation of DNA methyltransferase expression during colorectal carcinogenesis.
Somatic changes in CpG dinucleotide methylation occur quite commonly in human cancer cell DNA. Relative to DNA from normal human colonic cells, DNA from human colorectal cancer cells typically displays regional CpG dinucleotide hypermethylation amid global CpG dinucleotide hypomethylation. The role of the maintenance DNA methyltransferase (DNMT1) in the acquisition of such abnormal CpG dinucleo...
متن کاملRibozyme-mediated modulation of human O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase expression.
A synthetic oligonucleotide containing ribozyme sequences targeted to the 5' region of the human O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) mRNA has been constructed. This ribozyme demonstrates cleavage activity in vitro in the presence of Mg2+. To determine whether this ribozyme can function in vivo, HeLa CCL2 cells were transfected with a mammalian expression vector containing the ribozyme...
