Head Development: Craniofacial genetics makes headway
Studies of neural crest migration in animal models, and of human syndromes in which craniofacial development is abnormal, are helping us to understand both prenatal and postnatal development of the head.
متن کاملEpigenetic Therapy of Cancer
Together with genetic alterations, aberrant epigenetic regulation of gene expression also plays a major role in the development of many diseases, including cancer. Overall, when compared to normal cells, the genome of malignant cells is characterized by global DNA hypomethylation and histone hypoacetylation. Considering the significance of DNA methylation and histone acetylation in the initiati...
متن کاملEpigenetic Therapy for Breast Cancer
Both genetic and epigenetic alterations can control the progression of cancer. Genetic alterations are impossible to reverse, while epigenetic alterations are reversible. This advantage suggests that epigenetic modifications should be preferred in therapy applications. DNA methyltransferases and histone deacetylases have become the primary targets for studies in epigenetic therapy. Some DNA met...
متن کاملEpigenetic approaches to cancer therapy.
Histone deacetylation and DNA methylation have a central role in the control of gene expression, including transcriptional repression of tumour suppressor genes. Loss of DNA mismatch repair due to methylation of the hMLH1 gene promoter results in resistance to cisplatin in vitro and in vivo. The cisplatin-resistant cell line A2780/cp70 is 8-fold more resistant to cisplatin than the non-resistan...
