HDAC Up-Regulation in Early Colon Field Carcinogenesis Is Involved in Cell Tumorigenicity through Regulation of Chromatin Structure
28 May 2013
Abstract excerpt
Normal cell function is dependent on the proper maintenance of chromatin structure. Regulation of chromatin structure is controlled by histone modifications that directly influence chromatin architecture and genome function. Specifically, the histone deacetylase (HDAC) family of proteins modulate chromatin compaction and are commonly dysregulated in many tumors, including colorectal cancer (CRC). However, the...
