DNA methylation and gene expression profiles show novel regulatory pathways in hepatocellular carcinoma
13 Apr 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Alcohol is a well-known risk factor for hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), but the mechanisms underlying the alcohol-related hepatocarcinogenesis are still poorly understood. Alcohol alters the provision of methyl groups within the hepatic one-carbon metabolism, possibly inducing aberrant DNA methylation. Whether specific pathways are epigenetically regulated in alcohol-associated HCC is, however,...
