DNA methyltransferase inhibitors and the development of epigenetic cancer therapies.
Epimutations, such as the hypermethylation and epigenetic silencing of tumor suppressor genes, play a role in the etiology of human cancers. In contrast to DNA mutations, which are passively inherited through DNA replication, epimutations must be actively maintained because they are reversible. In fact, the reversibility of epimutations by small-molecule inhibitors provides the foundation for t...
متن کاملGenetic and Epigenetic of Medullary Thyroid Cancer
Medullary thyroid carcinoma (MTC) is an infrequent calcitonin-producing neuroendocrine tumor that initiates from the parafollicular C cells of the thyroid gland. Several genetic and epigenetic alterations are collaterally responsible for medullary thyroid carcinogenesis. In this review article, we shed light on all the genetic and epigenetic hallmarks of MTC. From the genetic perspective, RET, ...
متن کاملEffects of GnRHa active immunity on FSHR expression and uterine development in prepuberty and non cyclic ewes
This study explored the effects of GnRH agonist (GnRHa) immunity on expression of FSHR mRNA in pituitary and FSHR protein in uteri, and also confirmed its efficacy on uterine development. 42 prepuberty and non cyclic ewes were assigned to 6 experimental groups (EG) during anestrus season. Animals in EG-I, EG-II and EG-III were subcutaneously injected with 200, 300 and 400 μg alarelin antigens (...

متن کاملEpigenetic control of immunity.
Immunity relies on the heterogeneity of immune cells and their ability to respond to pathogen challenges. In the adaptive immune system, lymphocytes display a highly diverse antigen receptor repertoire that matches the vast diversity of pathogens. In the innate immune system, the cell's heterogeneity and phenotypic plasticity enable flexible responses to changes in tissue homeostasis caused by ...
