The Vascular SIRTainty
the main cause of death and morbidity[1]. The underlying mechanism of atherogenesis is multifactorial, involving functional changes of vascular cells including endothelial cells, smooth muscle cells, adventitial, and perivascular cells, and circulating cells including platelets and inflammatory cells[2]. Clinical studies demonstrate that endothelial dysfunction reflected by decreased bioavailab...
متن کاملDNA methylation of tumor suppressor genes in hepatocellular carcinoma
The basic unit of chromatin is a nucleosome included an octamer of the four core histones and 147 base pairs of DNA. Posttranslational histones modifications affect chromatin structure resulting in gene expression changes. CpG islands hypermethylation within the gene promoter regions and the deacetylation of histone proteins are the most common epigenetic modifications. The aberrant patterns of...
متن کاملmicroRNA-29a functions as a tumor suppressor in nasopharyngeal carcinoma 5-8F cells through targeting VEGF
Objective(s): microRNA-29 (miR-29) family miRNAs have been mentioned as tumor suppressive genes in several human cancers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the function of miR-29a in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) cells. Materials and Methods: Human NPC cell line 5-8F was transfected with mimic, inhibitor or scrambled controls...
متن کاملBAP1tism of a tumor suppressor.
Driving cancer cells into a more differentiated state is a rational therapeutic approach. Primary uveal melanoma cells with a propensity to metastasize have less-differentiated features than their less aggressive counterparts. Treatment of uveal melanoma cells with histone deacetylase inhibitors induces a more differentiated phenotype with resultant lower growth capacity.
متن کاملMicromanaging a large tumor suppressor
Two parallel and concordant activities characterize cell cycle progression. One is associated with preparation for and execution of DNA replication followed by mitosis (" cell cycle "). Cyclins are the motors of the cell cycle, as they activate the respective CDKs and thereby drive the cell through the sequential phases of the cycle. Their antagonists are CKis, which inhibit the CDKs stalling t...
