Genetics and the environment have both been demonstrated to take part in the pathogenesis of migraine. Studying the epigenetic mechanisms underlying migraine can facilitate the understanding of the disorder, its chronification, and the factors that can ...

Epigenetic Reprogramming and Emerging Epigenetic Therapies in CML [PDF]
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a hematopoietic stem cell disorder characterized by BCR-ABL1, an oncogenic fusion gene arising from the Philadelphia chromosome. The development of tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKIs) to overcome the constitutive tyrosine kinase activity of the BCR-ABL protein has dramatically improved disease management and patient ...

Epigenetics Regulates Antitumor Immunity in Melanoma
Melanoma is the most malignant skin cancer, which originates from epidermal melanocytes, with increasing worldwide incidence. The escape of immune surveillance is a hallmark of the tumor, which is manifested by the imbalance between the enhanced immune ...

Epigenetics controls the expression of genes and is responsible for cellular phenotypes. The fundamental basis of these mechanisms involves in part the post-translational modifications (PTMs) of DNA and proteins, in particular, the nuclear histones. DNA can be methylated or demethylated on cytosine.

Environmentally Induced Epigenetic Plasticity in Development: Epigenetic Toxicity and Epigenetic Adaptation [PDF]
Epigenetic processes represent important mechanisms underlying developmental plasticity in response to environmental exposures. The current review discusses three classes of environmentally-induced epigenetic changes reflecting two aspects of that plasticity, toxicity effects as well as adaptation in the process of development.Due to innate resilience,

Comprehensive evaluation of genome-wide 5-hydroxymethylcytosine profiling approaches in human DNA
Background The discovery that 5-methylcytosine (5mC) can be oxidized to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine (5hmC) by the ten-eleven translocation (TET) proteins has prompted wide interest in the potential role of 5hmC in reshaping the mammalian DNA methylation ...

Construction of a Review About Epigenetics for Biology Teachers and Other Non-experts
Epigenetics, the new research field at the cutting edge of biology research, needs to be introduced in biology education. The aim of this review is to support biology teachers and other non-experts to get an overview of the field, as a review in ...

Endocrine therapy resistance occurs often in estrogen receptor positive (ER+) breast cancer. Here, the authors find that 3D epigenome remodelling at ER-bound enhancer-promoter interactions is a key mechanism underlying endocrine resistance.

The connection between DNA replication timing and changes that occur to the epigenome in cancer are still poorly understood. Here, the authors perform Repli-Seq and integrated epigenome analyses and find that genomic regions that undergo long-range ...
