DNA microarray profile of genes regulated by the epigenetic modifier sodium butyrate combined with etoposide in Burkitt’s lymphoma cells
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background The mechanisms underlying Burkitt’s Lymphoma (BL) chemoresistance and how it can be circumvented remain undetermined.The histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) represent a novel class of agents which have demonstrated potent antitumor activity in preclinical models and promising clinical efficacy in cancer patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the cell death enhancement effect of Sodium Butyrate (NaB), a HDACi combined with suboptimal concentration of etoposide (VP-16) and identify genes differentially regulated by this combination to provide rationale for novel drug combination patterns.

Predicting CpG Islands and DNA Methlation in the Cow Genome Using DNA Microarray Meta-Analysis and Genome Wide Scanning
DNA methylation is a type of epigenetic changes that directly affects DNA. In mammals, DNA methylation is essential for fetal development and stem cell differentiation and this phenomenon essentially occurs within the CpG islands. In this study, two methods were used to study the DNA methylation profile of cow genome. In the first method, the DNA methylation profile of the differentially expres...

Background: The in vivo radiation-induced bystander effects (RIBE) at the developmental, genetic, and epigenetic levels have been well demonstrated using model plant Arabidopsis thaliana (A. thaliana). However, the mechanisms underlying RIBE in plants are not clear, especially lacking a comprehensive knowledge about the genes and biological pathways involved in the RIBE in plants. Materials and...
متن کاملHepatic differentiation and transcriptional profile of the mouse liver epithelial progenitor cells (LEPCs) under the induction of sodium butyrate.
The liver regenerates by progenitor cells when it is damaged in chronic liver diseases and extensive damage. The progenitor cells, also termed "oval cells" according to their morphological traits, can differentiate into hepatocytes and bile duct cells in vivo. To better understand the transcriptional pattern that accompanies the hepatic differentiation of oval cells, we applied cDNA microarray ...

Background: Human β-like globin genes regulaon during development from embyonic to adult stage results in generaon of different types of hemoglobin with different funcons. As β-thalassemia and sickle cell disease are disorders of β-globin chain, epigenec drugs such as thalidomide and sodium butyrate which can induce γ-globin gene are considered as a novel therapeuc approach. Drugs effec...

Effect of trichostatin A on histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC 1) and CIP/KIP (p21CIP1/WAF1, p27KIP1, and p57KIP2) gene expression, cell growth inhibition and apoptosis induction in lung cancer COR-L105 cell line. Abstract Background: Lung cancer is one the leading cause of cancer-related death worldwide, with more than 1.2 million deaths each year. In addition to genetic mutations, epigenetic modif...
