Targeting aberrant chromatin structure in colorectal carcinomas.

Abstract excerpt

Epigenetic processes such as DNA methylation and histone modifications are now recognized as critical events for regulation of gene expression in mammalian cells and affect gene function without a change in coding sequence. Neoplastic cells often show profound epigenetic alterations that contribute to tumorigenesis by altering expression of critical genes. In colorectal tumorigenesis, detailed analysis led to a...
