Epigenetic therapy in non-small-cell lung cancer: targeting DNA methyltransferases and histone deacetylases
17 Jul 2013
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Epigenetics refers to heritable modifications of DNA and associated chromatin components that influence gene expression without altering DNA coding sequence. Epigenetic dysregulation is a central contributor to oncogenesis and is increasingly a focus of interest in cancer therapeutic research. Two key levels of aberrant epigenetic control are DNA methylation and histone acetylation. Primary...
