Hypermethylation of CpG islands in the promoter regions in normal cells is a means to silence non-expressed genes, such as imprinted genes and those on the inactive X chromosome (Baylin, 2005; Bird, 2002). In the cancer cell, however, promoter CpG islands somehow lose t ...

Cancer epigenetics



Cancer epigenetics is the study of epigenetic modifications to the genome of cancer cells that do not involve a change in the nucleotide sequence. Epigenetic alterations are as important as genetic mutations in a cell’s transformation to cancer, and their manipulation holds great promise for cancer prevention, detection, and therapy. In different types of cancer, a variety of epigenetic mechanisms can be perturbed, such as silencing of tumor suppressor genes and activation of oncogenes by altered CpG island methylation patterns, histone modifications, and dysregulation of DNA binding proteins. Several medications which have epigenetic impact are now used in several of these diseases.
