Genetic and Epigenetic Changes in Human Prostate Cancer
Acquired or inherited genetic alterations either alone or in combination with epigenetic alterations are associated with prostate carcinogenesis and its progression toward advance metastatic or castration-resistant disease. A major objective of translational cancer research in post-genome era is to discover the repertoire of genetic and epigenetic variations associated with prostate cancer. Gen...
متن کاملGenetic and Epigenetic of Medullary Thyroid Cancer
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is an infrequent calcitonin-producing neuroendocrine tumor that initiates from the parafollicular C cells of the thyroid gland. Several genetic and epigenetic alterations are collaterally responsible for medullary thyroid carcinogenesis. In this review article, we shed light on all the genetic and epigenetic hallmarks of MTC. From the genetic perspective, RET, ...
متن کاملCancer Stem Cells in Colorectal Cancer: Genetic and Epigenetic Changes.
Colorectal cancer (CRC), an age-related disease, is the third most common cancer in the world. Although sporadic CRC, that affects 80-85% of CRC patients, is a multi-step process initiated by APC gene mutation, it is becoming increasingly evident that a small sub-population of cells termed cancer stem/stem-like cells (CSCs/CSLCs) plays critical roles in the progression of this malignancy specia...
متن کاملEpigenetic changes in prostate cancer: implication for diagnosis and treatment.
Prostate cancer is the most common noncutaneous malignancy and the second leading cause of cancer death among men in the United States. DNA methylation and histone modifications are important epigenetic mechanisms of gene regulation and play essential roles both independently and cooperatively in tumor initiation and progression. Aberrant epigenetic events such as DNA hypo- and hypermethylation...
متن کاملFunctional Loss of the gamma-catenin gene through epigenetic and genetic pathways in human prostate cancer.
Gamma-catenin is a cell adhesion molecule and a candidate mediator of Wnt signal transduction. We hypothesized that impaired regulation of gamma-catenin through genetic and epigenetic pathways is associated with the pathogenesis of prostate cancer. To test this hypothesis, cytosine-phosphate-guanine methylation, loss of heterozygosity (LOH), and mutation status of the gamma-catenin gene were an...
متن کاملEpigenetic Heterogeneity in Prostate Cancer: Impact of Genetic and Epigenetic Alterations on Diagnosis and Prognosis
The main theme of this PhD thesis was the heterogeneity of prostate cancer at the genetic and epigenetic levels and its impact on disease detection and assessment. We focused our research efforts on (i) the investigation and development of new prostate cancer markers, (ii) the systematic quantitative evaluation of epigenetic alterations at key cancer-related genes in high-grade prostatic intrae...
