Increasing TET expression and 5-hydroxymethylcytosine formation by a carbocyclic 5-aza-2’-deoxy-cytidine antimetabolite
2025-11-30
Abstract excerpt
Ten-eleven translocation (TET) enzymes are critical epigenetic regulators, which oxidize the methylated cytosine nucleobase 5-methyl-dC (5mdC) in the genome to 5-hydroxymethyl-dC (5hmdC) in an α-ketoglutarate-dependent manner. Because the presence of 5mdC in the promoter region of a given gene silences its expression, this oxidation goes in hand with the reactivation of such silenced genes. In different highly agg...
