DNA methylation in cancer development, diagnosis and therapy-multiple opportunities for genotoxic agents to act as methylome disruptors or remediators
PublicationThe role of DNA methylation and recently discovered hydroxymethylation in the function of the human epigenome is currently one of the hottest topics in the life sciences. Progress in this field of research has been further accelerated by the discovery that alterations in the methylome are not only associated with key functions of cells and organisms, such as development, differentiation and gene expression, but may underlie a number...

Transcriptional activity of epigenetic remodeling genes declines in keratinocytes after in vitro expansion
PublicationPURPOSE: In vitro expansion is an invaluable method to obtain keratinocytes in amounts necessary for effective transplantation therapies. In vitro cell culturing provokes questions concerning potential epigenetic alterations occurring in expanded cells in the context of usefulness for transplantation and safety. The purpose of this study was to investigate as to whether keratinocyte expansion is associated with changes in the activity...

Metylacja DNA w rozwoju, diagnostyce i terapii nowotworów
PublicationDotychczas kowalencyjna modyfikacja DNA, jaką jest zarówno naturalna metylacja DNA, jak i addukty DNA egzogennych niskocząsteczkowych związków chemicznych, były ropatrywane z punktu widzenia genomu. W świetle obecnej wiedzy dotyczącej epigenomu można sądzić, że stosunkowo niewielkie modyfikacje czy to w postaci metylacji cytozyny, czy adduktu DNA mogą mieć znaczący wpływ na działanie komórki, a co za tym idzie także jej transformację...
