Effect of Exposure to 900 MHz GSM Mobile Phone Radiofrequency Radiation on Estrogen Receptor Methylation Status in Colon Cells of Male Sprague Dawley Rats
Background: Over the past several years, the rapidly increasing use of mobile phones has raised global concerns about the biological effects of exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation. Numerous studies have shown that exposure to electromagnetic fields (EMFs) can be associated with effects on the nervous, endocrine, immune, cardiovascular, hematopoietic and ocular systems. In spite of genetic...
متن کاملInvestigating the methylation status of DACT2 gene and its association with MTHFR C677T polymorphism in patients with colorectal cancer
Colorectal cancer (CRC) is one of the common causes of cancer death in Iranian population. Both genetic and epigenetic changes have been implicated in CRC pathogenesis. DACT2 gene as one of the WNT signaling pathway inhibitor was shown to display tumor suppressor activity in many cancers. The aim of present study was to investigate the methylation status of DACT2 gene and its ...

متن کاملDNA Methylation and Its Role in the Development of Leukemia
Epigenetic changes play an essential role in cancer pathogenesis. It has been established by next-generation sequencing that more than 50% of the human cancers carry mutations in mechanisms involved in the organization of the chromatin and epigenetic regulations. DNA methylation is among the most common epigenetic changes in leukemia. In contrast to DNA mutations which are passively inherited f...

Objective (s): Titanium dioxide nanoparticles (TiO2 NPs) have been recognized as biologically inert material and have been used in a multitude of applications. Nevertheless, the negative impact on the human health is not yet well understood. Aim of the work: The study attempted to evaluate the epigenetic changes of the genome, in the form of DNA methylation in liver tissue samples, resulting fr...
متن کاملدرمان سرطان بر پایه اپی ژنتیک
Introduction: Epigenetics involves the study of heritable changes in the regulation of gene activity and expression that are not dependent on gene sequence. Main mechanisms of epigenetic modifications are DNA methylation, Histone modification and Nucleosome positioning. Several studies have shown that these modifications are related to cancer initiation, progression or tumor metastasis. In cont...
