Epigenetic changes: potential therapeutic targets.

Thea Kalebic1.   

Abstract

Recent advances in human genome research have resulted in novel approaches for the identification of epigenetic modifications associated with cancer. Modulators of DNA methylation and chromatin structure have a dramatic effect on gene expression, cellular proliferation, differentiation, and apoptosis. Molecular pathways regulating epigenetic events that occur during tumorigenesis have been exploited as new targets for therapeutic intervention. Clinical studies exploring the effectiveness of therapeutic agents targeting DNA methylation and acetylation of histones have yielded promising results. Molecular profiles of epigenetic alterations in cancer cells could allow better stratification of patients who may show responsiveness to specific treatments.
