Cellular Senescence by the Epigenetic Regulators Inhibitor of Growth
نویسنده
چکیده
The epigenetic regulatory tumor suppressor, INhibitor of Growth 1 (ING1), obtained more focus since it has been suggested as one of the aging-related candidate genes among healthy elderly individuals. ING1 belongs to the ING family proteins characterized by a plant homeodomain (PHD), which is important for recognizing and binding to histone marks, thus allowing ING to regulate genes expression through histone modification and chromatin changes. Interestingly, the PHD of ING proteins is highly conserved among species between mammals, insects and plants. The ING factors regulate the program of cellular senescence and DNA repair, which are suggested to have a protective role in inhibiting cancer cells proliferation. Here, we provide an insight into the functional role of ING factors in development and tumor cells.

Expression profiling identifies three pathways altered in cellular immortalization: interferon, cell cycle, and cytoskeleton.
Abrogation of cellular senescence, resulting in immortalization, is a necessary step in the tumorigenic transformation of a cell. Four independent, spontaneously immortalized Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS) cell lines were used to analyze the gene expression changes that may have given these cell lines the growth advantage required to become immortal. A cellular senescence-like phenotype can be indu...

The INhibitor of Growth (ING) proteins act as type II tumor suppressors and epigenetic regulators, being stoichiometric members of histone acetyltransferase and histone deacetylase complexes. Expression of the alternatively spliced ING1a tumor suppressor increases >10-fold during replicative senescence. ING1a overexpression inhibits growth; induces a large flattened cell morphology and the expr...
متن کاملEffects of Valproic Acid, a Histone Deacetylase Inhibitor, on improvement of Locomotor Function in Rat Spinal Cord Injury Based on Epigenetic Science
Background: The primary phase of traumatic spinal cord injury (SCI) starts by a complex local inflammatory reaction such as secretion of pro-inflammatory cytokines from microglia and injured cells that substantially contribute to exacerbating pathogenic events in secondary phase. Valproic acid (VPA) is a histone deacetylase inhibitor. Acetylation of histones is critical to cellular inflammatory...

Background: Aging is one of the important factors in the development of age-related diseases. Acrylamide can be produced during carbohydrate-rich foods prepared at high temperatures. Recently, studies showed that acrylamide can induce cellular senescence. On the other hand, Rutin as a natural flavonoid, has a potent antioxidant activity. Objective: This study aims to evaluate the ptotective ef...

Epigenetic alterations, including DNA acetylation, hypermethylation and hypomethylation, and the associated transcriptional changes of the affected genes are central to the evolution and progression of various human cancers, including pancreatic cancer. Cancer-associated epigenetic alterations are attractive therapeutic targets because such epigenetic alterations, unlike genetic changes, are po...
