Chromatin Remodeling Is Required for Gene Reactivation after Decitabine-Mediated DNA Hypomethylation
17 Aug 2010
Abstract excerpt
The DNA hypomethylating drug decitabine (DAC) reactivates silenced gene expression in cancer and is approved for the treatment of the myelodysplastic syndrome. Gene reactivation after DAC is variable and incompletely understood. Here, we established a cell line system (YB5) derived from the SW48 colon cancer cell line to study DAC-induced reactivation. YB5 contains a hypermethylated cytomegalovirus promoter...
