Misexpression of chromatin modification factors and changed epigenetic modifications play crucial roles for tumorigenesis. Our previous studies demonstrated that inhibition enzymes EZH2, LSD1, DNMTs HDACs caused post-mitotic neuron-like differentiation in different cancer cells. However, how they regulate neuronal cells was unknown. Here, we show DNMT1 HDAC1 form interactions themselves, meanwhile, also interact with SMAD proteins β-CATENIN Chemical these leads to reduced level except HDAC1....

There are no effective therapies for advanced renal cell carcinoma (RCC), except VEGFR inhibitors with only ~50% response rate. To identify novel targets and biomarkers RCC is of great importance in treating RCC. In this study, we observed that eukaryotic initiation factor 3d (EIF3D) expression was significantly increased compared paracarcinoma tissue using immunohistochemistry staining western blot analysis. Furthermore, bioinformatics meta-analysis ONCOMINE microarray datasets showed EIF3D...

Abstract A decrease in oocyte developmental potential is a major obstacle for successful pregnancy women of advanced age. However, the age-related epigenetic modifications associated with dynamic transcriptome changes, particularly meiotic maturation-coupled mRNA clearance, have not been adequately characterized human oocytes. This study demonstrates decreased storage transcripts encoding key factors regulating maternal degradome fully grown oocytes similar defect maturation-triggered...

Most cases of gastric cancer (GC) are not diagnosed at early stage which can be curable, so it is necessary to identify effective biomarkers for its diagnosis and pre-warning. We have used methylated DNA immunoprecipitation (MeDIP) genes that frequently in cell lines. Promoter regions hypermethylation candidate were tested by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP) serum samples, including GC (n=58), precancerous lesions (GPL, n=46), normal controls (NC, n=30). Eighty two...
