Abstract excerpt
It has been recently proposed that hypomethylation of DNA induced by 5-azacytidine (5-azaC) leads to reduced chromatid decatenation that ends up in endoreduplication, most likely due to a failure in topo II function [S. Mateos, I. Domínguez, N. Pastor, G. Cantero, F. Cortés, The DNA demethylating 5-azaC induces endoreduplication in cultured Chinese hamster cells, Mutat. Res. 578 (2005) 33-42]. The Chinese hamster...
