Book excerpt: Genetic aberrations and epigenetic modifications are critical drivers of cancer progression and metastasis. Although recurrent mutations in primary and metastatic cancers have been shown to be concordant, there are several metastasis-associated mutations responsible for resistance to specific therapies that are frequently located in genes that regulate DNA methylation and chromatin modifications. Recent studies have shown that distinct subgroups of poor-prognosis tumors lack genetic alterations but are epigenetically regulated, pointing to the critical role of epigenetic modifications in cancer progression. This Special Issue provides novel insights into the mechanisms underlying processes associated with cancer cell plasticity and the development of metastatic disease.

Download or read book Epigenetics and Cancer written by Fazlul H. Sarkar and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-05-29 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overall, this book illustrates the complexities of the regulation and deregulation of genes mediated through epigenetics in the development and progression of human malignancies. All the articles have been carefully chosen to represent several cancer systems with state of our knowledge on the role of epigenetic deregulation of microRNAs (miRNAs) and their target mRNAs along with epigenetic deregulation of mRNAs. This book also illustrates the role of several dietary agents, collectively called nutraceuticals or natural agents in modulating the epigenetic reprogramming of miRNAs and mRNAs for the prevention and/or treatment of human malignancies. It is well known that genetic aberrations, especially inherited through parents (somatic genetic alterations) contribute to the development of less than 10% of all cancer yet epigenetic alterations in genes especially through selective methylation and acetylation appears to be responsible for the development and progression of the vast majority of all cancers. Therefore, understanding the role of epigenetics in the regulation of genes especially through deregulated expression of miRNAs as presented in this book will allow scientists to devise targeted therapeutic strategies for re-expression of the lost genes or down-regulate the genes that are over-expressed in order to eradicate cancer. It is hoped that targeting epigenetics will not only target cancer cells but it will also target the tumor microenvironment (more like the entire tumor environment such as the entire host) for achieving better treatment outcomes for patients diagnosed with cancer which will lead to achieve the long-term objective for complete eradication of cancer. This book contains fifteen chapters which begins with the concept of systems and network biology for investigating the epigenetics of cancer followed by a series of articles on the role of miRNAs and their target genes in the biology of pancreatic cancer and other cancers such as breast, kidney, prostate and and colon. Since it is becoming increasingly clear that cancer stem cells (CSCs) are important in the development and progression of cancer, and CSCs are important in therapeutic resistance, treatment failure and tumor recurrence, thus the importance of CSCs and epigenetics has been highlighted by a very timely article on epigenetic variations of stem cell markers in cancer including miRNAs. Moreover, just targeting heterogeneous cancer cell populations may not be optimal to eradicate tumors and for which one must take a holistic approach for developing drugs that could also target the tumor microenvironment and tumor dormancy that are regulated through epigenetics. Keeping abreast with this thought process the concluding chapter provides a concept towards curative cancer therapy with maspin, which could be a unique window of opportunity to target tumor dormancy. Therefore, it suggest that targeting the tumor dormancy and the tumor microenvironment using novel therapeutics specifically by targeting epigenetics would become the future of medicine.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Breast cancer is the most common malignancy and a major cause of cancer-related death among Canadian women. Although treatment of primary breast tumours is highly successful through surgery, metastatic breast cancer is difficult to treat. Cancer progression and metastasis require the accumulation of numerous genetic and epigenetic alterations. Normal cells that acquire such alterations can transform into cancer cells, resulting in primary tumour formation. Primary tumours are a heterogeneous population, containing cells of various metastatic potentials. Cells that acquire a high potential for metastasis can spread to secondary locations. Our model system consists of two subpopulations, with different metastatic potential, derived from the same rat mammary adenocarcinoma. Using this model, a differentially expressed novel gene, termed MS-1, was discovered. Due to significant expression of this gene in the poorly metastatic subpopulation and lack of expression in the highly metastatic subpopulation, MS-1 may have involvement in metastasis suppression. Several breast cancer metastasis suppressor genes have been identified on the basis that they are down-regulated during the progression of metastasis. Epigenetic mechanisms, such as DNA methylation, account for loss of expression in several of these genes. Hypermethylation of CpG islands within gene promoters results in deacetylation of histone proteins and produces a compact chromatin structure that is unfavourable for transcription. A CpG island spans the 5 untranslated region, exon 1 and part of intron 1 of the MS-1 gene. Our data reveals aberrant methylation patterns of this CpG island in our model. Also, MS-1 expression appears to be partially induced by both DNA methylation and histone deacetylation inhibitors. Following a screen of several cancer cell lines of various metastatic potential, it appears that the presence of DNA methylation in the CpG island of MS-1 correlates with the lack of MS-1 expression.

Download or read book Genes and Cancer written by Guy-Joseph Lemamy and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2019-09-11 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer is a malignant tumor caused by DNA damage, which leads to uncontrolled cell growth. Tumor progression is locally favored by the mitogenic effects of hormones or growth factors, which stimulate the tumor's growth, or the activation of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor, which induces angiogenesis and leads to metastasis. About 300 out of 25,000 genes that set up the human genome are involved in cancer pathology. These genes are divided into three groups: oncogenes, tumor suppressor genes, and DNA repair genes. Activated oncogenes promote the development of cancer, whereas the tumor suppressor and DNA repair genes have a protective role by respectively inhibiting cell cycle progression and inducing apoptosis, or by repairing DNA damage occurring during the cell cycle. This book discusses the issue of tumor suppressor genes through chapters written by experts using advanced biochemistry, cell, and molecular biology tools. The tumor suppressor genes can be used as markers of risk to identify populations with high risk or targets for cancer treatment and therapeutic resistance. We hope that the work provided in this book will be useful for researchers and students and will increase knowledge of the understanding of cancer and improve its treatment.

This book was released on 2012-08 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Cancer is a class of diseases in which a group of cells display the traits of uncontrolled growth, invasion, and sometimes metastasis. These three malignant properties of cancers differentiate them from benign tumors, which are self-limited, do not invade or metastasize. Most cancers form a tumor but not all cancer e.g. leukemia.Cancer may affect people at all ages, even fetuses, but risk for the more common varieties tends to increase with age. Nearly all cancers are caused by abnormalities in the genetic material of the transformed cells. These abnormalities may be due to the effects of carcinogens, such as tobacco smoke, radiation, chemicals, or infectious agents. Other cancer-promoting genetic abnormalities may be randomly acquired through errors in DNA replication or are inherited and thus present in all cells from birth. Complex interactions between carcinogens and the host genome can explain mechanism of cancers develop after exposure to a known carcinogen.This book addresses the biomolecular mechanisms of new aspects of genetics in the initiation of Cancer and progression of Tumor.
