BACKGROUND DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) is one of the major factors mediating the methylation of cancer related genes such as TGF-β receptors (TβRs). This in turn may result in a loss of sensitivity to physiologic levels of TGF-β in aggressive prostate cancer (CaP). The specific mechanisms of DNMT's role in CaP remain undetermined. In this study, we describe the mechanism of TGF-β-mediated DNMT...
DNA methylation is an epigenetic mechanism that plays a critical role in the repression of gene expression. Here, we show that DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) inhibition in hippocampal neurons results in activity-dependent demethylation of genomic DNA and a parallel decrease in the frequency of miniature EPSCs (mEPSCs), which in turn impacts neuronal excitability and network activity. Treatment wi...
A clear understanding is developing concerning the importance of epigenetic-related molecular mechanisms in transcription-dependent long-term memory formation. Chromatin modification, in particular histone acetylation, is associated with transcriptional activation, and acetylation of histone 3 (H3) occurs in Area CA1 of the hippocampus following contextual fear conditioning training. Conversely...
The epigenetic down-regulation of genes is emerging as a possible underlying mechanism of the GABAergic neuron dysfunction in schizophrenia. For example, evidence has been presented to show that the promoters associated with reelin and GAD67 are down-regulated as a consequence of DNA methyltransferase (DNMT)-mediated hypermethylation. Using neuronal progenitor cells to study this regulation, we...
We have previously shown that auditory Pavlovian fear conditioning is associated with an increase in DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) expression in the lateral amygdala (LA) and that intra-LA infusion or bath application of an inhibitor of DNMT activity impairs the consolidation of an auditory fear memory and long-term potentiation (LTP) at thalamic and cortical inputs to the LA, in vitro. In the p...
Background: Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers among women. Incorrect pattern of gene expression involved in epigenetic Including APOBEC3B, DNMT-1 and TET_1 can develop breast cancer. resveratrol is a natural flavonoids that antioxidant and anti-cancer properties have been reported in other studies. To investigate the mechanism of effect of resveratrol,&nbs...
Acquisition of platinum resistance following first line platinum/taxane therapy is commonly observed in ovarian cancer patients and prevents clinical effectiveness. There are few options to prevent platinum resistance; however, demethylating agents have been shown to resensitize patients to platinum therapy thereby demonstrating that DNA methylation is a critical contributor to the development ...
Alteration of aberrant DNA methylation is one of the most consistent epigenetic changes found in human cancers. DNA methylation is catalyzed by DNA methyltransferase (DNMT). In this study, we examined DNMT protein expression by immunohistochemistry in surgically resected hepatocellular carcinomas (HCCs). Sections of paraffin-embedded specimens were obtained from 95 patients with HCC between 198...
Tumor suppressor gene silencing by DNA hypermethylation contributes to tumorigenesis in many tumor types. This aberrant methylation may be due to increased expression and activity of DNA methyltransferases, which catalyze the transfer of methyl groups from S-adenosylmethionine to cytosines in CpG dinucleotides. Elevated expression of the maintenance DNA methyltransferase, DNA methyltransferase ...
Food deprivation can affect performance on difficult cognitive task, such as the delayed nonmatch-to-place T-maze task (DNMT). The importance of food deprivation on maintaining high motivation for DNMT task has been emphasized, but not many studies have investigated the optimal conditions for depriving rodents to maximize performance. Establishing appropriate conditions for food deprivation is ...
