Impact on DNA Methylation in Cancer Prevention and Therapy by Bioactive Dietary Components
13 May 2010
Abstract excerpt
It is well established that aberrant gene regulation by epigenetic mechanisms can develop as a result of pathological processes such as cancer. Methylation of CpG islands is an important component of the epigenetic code and a number of genes become abnormally methylated during tumorigenesis. Some bioactive food components have been shown to have cancer inhibition activities by reducing DNA hypermethylation of key...
