Epigenomes, Volume 2, Issue 2

June 2018 - 6 articles

Cover Story: The variability of epigenetic mechanisms offers a wide array of targeting strategies. DNMTs can be targeted with Aza-dC, SGI-110 or Zebularine, affecting CSCs by promoting their differentiation. HDAC inhibitors have also shown promising results, but could have population-specific effects. miRNAs can be complexed within drug-loaded micelles and delivered successfully to cancer cells, and lncRNA can be targeted with GapmeRs or small molecule inhibitors that disrupt lncRNA–protein interactions.

Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma has a heterogeneous genetic landscape, marked by frequent mutation of KRAS, CDKN2A, TP53, and SMAD4, resulting in poor responses to conventional therapeutic regimens. Over the past decade, increased understanding of t...

Salinity can negatively impact crop growth and yield. Changes in DNA methylation are known to occur when plants are challenged by stress and have been associated with the regulation of stress-response genes. However, the role of DNA-methylation in mo...

The Epigenetic Landscape of Pancreatic Cancer Stem Cells

  • Sladjana Zagorac,
  • Laura Garcia-Bermejo and
  • Bruno Sainz

Data now indicates that in addition to genetic alterations/mutations, human cancer cells exhibit important changes in their epigenome. In the context of this review, we define the epigenome as the chemical compounds and/or proteins that can interact...

While the mortality rates of cancer are generally declining, pancreatic cancer persists to be an exception with a 5-year-survival rate of less than 7%. Late diagnosis and resistance to conventional therapies contribute to high mortality rates in spit...

Numerous lncRNAs exhibit circadian rhythms, sometimes with high amplitudes. Therefore, they are controlled by cellular circadian oscillators. However, they also seem to influence circadian clocks, as shown by the important core oscillator gene Per2,...
