Epigenetic mechanisms regulating normal and malignant haematopoiesis: new therapeutic targets for clinical medicine
1 Feb 2010
Abstract excerpt
It is now well established that epigenetic phenomena and aberrant gene regulation play a major role in carcinogenesis. These include aberrant gene silencing by imposing inactive histone marks on promoters, aberrant methylation of DNA at CpG islands, and the active repression of promoters by oncoproteins. In addition, many malignant cells also show aberrant gene activation due to constitutively active signalling....
