Oncogenic epigenetic control
contributes significantly to the fidelity of biological control. Compromised epigenetic pathways have now been shown to provide indications of transformation and tumor progression; they suggest potential targets for cancer prevention and intervention [1]. A formidable challenge is to deconvolute the complexity and plasticity of histone modifications associated with tumorigenesis. Although chall...
متن کاملEpigenetic control of an oncogenic microRNA, miR-155, by BRCA1
Since its identification in 1994, BRCA1 (Breast Cancer 1) has been established as a familial early onset breast and ovarian cancer susceptibility gene [1]. The protein encoded by this gene is involved in diverse cellular processes such as DNA damage repair, cell cycle control, ubiquitination and transcriptional regulation of target genes [2]. Recently, we uncovered a new function of BRCA1, addi...
متن کاملEpigenetic Basis for the Oncogenic Potential of IDH Mutations
Although many complex diseases including cancer manifest aberrant cellular metabolism and chromatin structure, the molecular connection between two processes remains poorly understood. The metabolite, αketoglurate (αKG), is a critical co-factor for a number of chromatin modifying enzymes. Its structural analogue, 2-hydroxyglutarate (2HG), was recently identified as the product of cancer-associa...
متن کاملEpigenetic Control Systems.
Advances in chemical genetics in the past few years have permitted the formulation of a consistent hypothesis concerning the chemical nature of the "primary" genetic material.1 This material is considered to consist of nucleic acid (usually deoxyribosenucleic acid) and to contain genetic information in a code of prescribed nucleotide sequences. The information is believed to be preserved during...
متن کاملVirus Control Goes Epigenetic
Cells have developed a number of mechanisms to detect and suppress microbial infections. The use of pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) is one such mechanism. PRRs may be expressed on the cell surface, in the cytosol, or in the endosomes, to detect pathogen-associated molecular patterns (PAMPs) or the danger signals released by damaged cells (i.e., damage-associated molecular patterns; DAMPs)....
