Epigenetic 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...
متن کاملProtease Addiction and Synthetic Lethality in Cancer
The "oncogene addiction" concept refers to the dependence of cancer cells on the function of the oncogenes responsible for their transformed phenotype, while the term "non-oncogene addiction" has been introduced to define the exacerbated necessity of the normal function of non-mutated genes. In this Perspective, we focus on the importance of proteolytic enzymes to maintain the viability of canc...
متن کاملSynthetic lethality in ATM-deficient RAD50-mutant tumors underlies outlier response to cancer therapy.
UNLABELLED Metastatic solid tumors are almost invariably fatal. Patients with disseminated small-cell cancers have a particularly unfavorable prognosis, with most succumbing to their disease within two years. Here, we report on the genetic and functional analysis of an outlier curative response of a patient with metastatic small-cell cancer to combined checkpoint kinase 1 (CHK1) inhibition and ...
متن کاملSynthetic lethality--a new direction in cancer-drug development.
In this issue of the Journal, Fong et al. report the results of a phase 1 trial of a new cancer therapy involving 60 patients (ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT00516373).1 Readers may be surprised by the editors’ decision to publish a small early-stage trial, but this trial not only reports important results — it also points to a new direction in the development of anticancer drugs. Modern cancerd...
متن کاملEpigenetic Therapy in Lung Cancer
Epigenetic deregulation of gene function has been strongly implicated in carcinogenesis and is one of the mechanisms contributing to the development of lung cancer. The inherent reversibility of epigenetic alterations makes them viable therapeutic targets. Here, we review the therapeutic implications of epigenetic changes in lung cancer, and recent advances in therapeutic strategies targeting D...
