Original Source: A novel epigenetic phenotype associated with the most aggressive pathway of bladder tumor progression.
Background Epigenetic silencing can extend to whole chromosomal regions in cancer. There have been few genome-wide studies exploring its involvement in tumorigenesis. Methods We searched for chromosomal regions affected by epigenetic silencing in cancer by using Affymetrix microarrays and real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction to analyze RNA from 57 bladder tumors compared with normal urothelium. Epigenetic silencing was verified by gene re-expression following treatment of bladder cell lines with...

Understanding transgenerational epigenetic inheritance via the gametes in mammals.
It is known that information that is not contained in the DNA sequence - epigenetic information - can be inherited from the parent to the offspring. However, many questions remain unanswered regarding...
Epigenetic aberrations during oncogenesis.
The aberrant epigenetic landscape of a cancer cell is characterized by global genomic hypomethylation, CpG island promoter hypermethylation of tumor suppressor genes, and changes in histone modificati...
Small-molecular modulators of cancer-associated epigenetic mechanisms.
DNA methylation and posttranslational histone modifications regulate expression of various genes independently of changes in the DNA sequence. Such epigenetic mechanisms play important roles in contro...
How epigenetic mutations can affect genetic evolution: Model and mechanism.
We hypothesize that heritable epigenetic changes can affect rates of fitness increase as well as patterns of genotypic and phenotypic change during adaptation. In particular, we suggest that when natu...
