The importance of epigenetic modifications in cancer progression
Epigenetics are dynamic and inherited changes in the genome that occur independently of DNA sequencing. This phenomenon requires coherent interaction with various enzymes and other molecular components. Abnormal epigenetic changes can lead to the onset of improper gene expression and the promotion of tumorigenesis. Because epigenetic changes are prone to external and reversible factors, they ar...
متن کاملApplication of Molecular DNA Markers (STRs) in Molecular Diagnosis of Down Syndrome in Iran
Down syndrome is one of the most common causes of mental retardation observed in approximately 1/700 live birth. The use of two or more STR markers related to chromosome 21 facilitates the diagnosis of Down syndrome within about six hours from the collection of the samples. This is the first study has been performed in Iranian population to assess the diagnostic value of using small tandem repe...
متن کاملEpigenetic Modifications in Testicular Germ Cell Tumors
Over the past decade, accumulating evidence has implicated the phenomenon of epigenetic dysregulation in a variety of cancers (Biermann and Steger, 2007). Defined as the heritable changes in gene function that are not attributable to changes in DNA sequence, epigenetics involve biochemical modifications to DNA regulatory elements as well as to the tail regions of histone proteins (Maekawa and W...
متن کاملCell - free DNA: بیومارکر نوین تشخیص آزمایشگاهی
به انواع مختلف اسیدهای نوکلئیک آزاد در پلاسما شامل قطعات DNA ژنومی،DNA میتوکندریایی، DNA و mRNA های ویروسی و همچنین انواع miRNA اصطلاحا Cell–free nucleic acid گفته می شود. بخش مهمی از این اسیدهای نوکلئیک آزاد در پلاسما را Cell–free DNA (cfDNA) تشکیل می دهد. cfDNA به صورت قطعاتی با وزن مولکولی حدود KB 21-0.18 در سرم یا پلاسمای افراد سالم و افراد مبتلا به بسیاری از بیماری ها قابل تشخیص هستند. ...
متن کاملCardiomyocyte Marker Expression in Mouse Embryonic Fibroblasts by Cell-Free Cardiomyocyte Extract and Epigenetic Manipulation
Background: The regenerative capacity of the mammalian heart is quite limited. Recent reports have focused on reprogramming mesenchymal stem cells into cardiomyocytes. We investigated whether fibroblasts could transdifferentiate into myocardium.Methods: Mouse embryonic fibroblasts were treated with Trichostatin A (TSA) and 5-Aza-2-Deoxycytidine (5-aza-dC). The treated cells were permeabilized w...
