Abstract Abstract 2497 Background. High cure rates seen in acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) result from adding the retinoid all trans retinoic acid (ATRA) to chemotherapy. The addition of ATRA to chemotherapy has not consistently improved survival for other acute myelogenous leukemia (AML) subtypes. This likely reflects differences in the degree ATRA overcomes transcriptional repression imposed by the epigenetic mechanisms of histone acetylation and DNA methylation between AML and APL. Purpose To determine if differences in induction of retinoic acid receptor (RAR) β2 accounts for variations

Abstract:
SERRS (surface-enhanced resonance Raman scattering) is a vibrational technique, whereby a relatively weak Raman scattering effect is enhanced through the use of a visible chromophore and a roughened metal surface. The direct analysis of DNA by SERRS requires the modification of a nucleic acid sequence to incorporate a chromophore, and adsorption of the modified sequence on to a roughened metal surface. Aggregated metallic nanoparticles are commonly used in the analysis of dye-labelled DNA by SERRS, allowing for detection levels that rival those gained from standard fluorescence-based technique

Abstract:
Background:Treatment of hematological malignancies with conventional DNA-damaging drugs, such as chlorambucil (CLB), commonly results in p53-dependent chemo-resistance. Chromatin modifying agents, such as histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACIs), sodium butyrate (NaBu) and trichostatin A (TSA), may reverse chemo-resistance by modulating the activity of chromatin remodeling enzymes and/or genes that control cell proliferation, differentiation and survival.Objective:This study examined the potential use of HDACIs and CLB combination therapies in an in vitro chemo-resistant leukemia model.Methods:

Abstract:
The Ku protein, a DNA-binding complex that is composed of two subunits of 70 kDa and of 86 kDa, has been suggested to play a role in gene transcription. The dependence of the in vitro DNA-binding activity of affinity-purified Ku protein on reduced cysteine residues has been studied using sulphydryl-modifying agents. Inhibition of the DNA-binding activity was caused by alkylation with N-ethylmaleimide and by crosslinking with azadicarboxylic acid bis(dimethylamide). Treatment of the protein with a large excess of N-ethylmaleimide after it had bound to DNA did not completely dissociate the compl

Abstract:
Dimebon (or Latrepirdine) was initially used as an anti-histamergic drug but later new therapeutic properties were rediscovered, adding to a growing body of “old” agents with prominent neuroprotective effects. In the present manuscript, we are focusing on our latest study on Dimebon with regard to brain’s pathological processes using in vivo proteinopathy models. In the study, neurodegenerative pathology has been attributed to a group of aggregate-prone proteins: hyperphosphorylated tau, fused in sarcoma and γ-synuclein , which are involved in a number of neurological disorders.

Abstract:
ABSTRACT Estrogen is an immunoregulatory agent, in that hormone deprivation increases while 17β-estradiol (E2) administration blocks the inflammatory response; however, the underlying mechanism is still unknown. The transcription factor p65/relA, a member of the nuclear factor κB (NF-κB) family, plays a major role in inflammation and drives the expression of proinflammatory mediators. Here we report a novel mechanism of action of E2 in inflammation. We observe that in macrophages E2 blocks lipopolysaccharide-induced DNA binding and transcriptional activity of p65 by preventing its nuclear tran

Several classes of immunomodulators are used for treating relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (RRMS). Most of these disease-modifying therapies, except teriflunomide, carry the risk of progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML), a severely debilitating, often fatal virus-induced demyelinating disease. Because teriflunomide has been shown to have antiviral activity against DNA viruses, we investigated whether treatment of cells with teriflunomide inhibits infection and spread of JC polyomavirus (JCPyV), the causative agent of PML.

Abstract EPZ-5676 is a small molecule inhibitor of the histone methyltransferase DOT1L that is currently under clinical investigation as a potential therapy for acute leukemias bearing MLL-rearrangements. Gene knockout and small molecule inhibitor studies have demonstrated that DOT1L is required for MLL-fusion protein–mediated leukemogenesis in model systems. In preclinical studies EPZ-5676 promoted cell killing of acute leukemia lines bearing MLL translocations in vitro while sparing those without MLL gene translocations and also caused sustained tumor regressions in a rat xenograft model of

Abstract:
Epigenetic editing of gene expression by aberrant methylation of DNA may help tumor cells escape attack from the innate and acquired immune systems. Resistance to antiproliferative effects and apoptosis induction by interferons (IFNs) was postulated to result from silencing of IFN response genes by promoter hypermethylation. Treatment of human ACHN renal cell carcinoma (RCC) and A375 melanoma cells with the DNA demethylating nucleoside analog 5-AZA-2′-deoxycytidine (5-AZA-dC) synergistically augmented antiproliferative effects of IFN- alpha (α) 2 and IFN-beta (β).

Abstract:
The abundant nuclear enzyme, poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) is activated by DNA strand breaks and catalyses the transfer of ADP-ribose moieties from its substrate, nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD), to various histone- or non-histone nuclear acceptor proteins. The net result is the formation of long, homopolymeric chains, the exact purpose of which is not clearly understood. Since this process is thought to facilitate DNA repair, the PARP enzyme represents a possible therapeutic target. A well known mechanism by which tumours become resistant to anticancer treatments is increased DNA
