As an important regulator of epigenetics, histone lysine methyltransferase 2C (KMT2C), is frequently mutated in multiple human cancers and is considered to be crucial for the occurrence and development of numerous cancers. However, the relationship between KMT2C mutation and clinicopathological
It is established that histone modifications like acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation and ubiquitination affect chromatin structure and modulate gene expression. Lysine methylation/demethylation on Histone H3 and H4 is known to affect transcription and is mediated by histone methyl
Breast cancer (BC) is the most common malignant disease affecting women's health worldwide. The benefits from conventional therapeutic modalities are severely limited. An increasing number of promising photothermal materials have been recently developed and introduced into the therapeutic regimens
Background: Our previous study demonstrated that lysine demethylase 2A (KDM2A) enhances stemness in breast cancer cells. This demethylase is also highly expressed in cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs). However, its clinical significance
A simple pyrene based probe (A3) derived from pyrene-1-carboxaldehyde and 2-amino-1-phenylpropan-1-ol shows unique optical response triggered by the concentration of lysine (Lys). This allows selective nanomolar detection of Lys via a cascade of processes, dynamic to static-excimer conversion in a
Advanced glycation end products (AGEs) accumulate as a result of high concentrations of reactive aldehydes, oxidative stress, and insufficient degradation of glycated proteins. AGEs are therefore accepted biomarkers for aging, diabetes, and several degenerative diseases. Due to the Warburg effect
BACKGROUND
Breast cancer, the most common invasive cancer and cause of cancer-related death in women worldwide, is a multifactorial, complex disease, and many molecular players and mechanisms underlying the complexity of its clinical behavior remain unknown.
METHODS
To explore the molecular features
To mimic the structure of breast tumor microenvironment, novel double-network poly(Nɛ-acryloyl L-lysine)/hyaluronic acid (pLysAAm/HA) hydrogels were fabricated by a two-step photo-polymerization process for in vitro three-dimensional (3D) cell culture. The morphology, mechanical properties, swelling
Protein acetylation plays many roles within living cells, modulating metabolism, signaling and cell response to environmental stimuli, as well as having an impact on pathological conditions, such as cancer pathogenesis and progression. The Apurinic/apyrimidinic endonuclease APE1 is a vital protein
BACKGROUND
Extracellular matrix (ECM) proteases play a key role in the regulation of tumour invasion, growth, and transendothelial migration. The expression of ECM proteases and their endogenous inhibitors by cancer cells is regulated by stromal cells. We investigated the effect of commonly used
Accumulating evidence has revealed that the methylation of lysines on nonhistones by histone lysine methyltransferases (HMTs) is crucial for regulating tumo-rigenesis and metastasis. However, whether the methy-lation of lysines on HMT complex components occurs and has functions in cancer progression
Breast cancer is a multi-factor disease, thus more and more drug combination therapies are applied in the treatment. However, there are undeniable disadvantages in drug combination therapy. Therefore, the development of new dual-targeting drugs has become a new strategy. In this study, we have
Procollagen-lysine, 2-oxoglutarate 5-dioxygenase 2 (PLOD2), which affects collagen synthesis, is associated with breast cancer. The purpose of the study is to detect the expression of PLOD2 in breast cancer and to evaluate the correlation between PLOD2 and clinicopathologic characteristics and
Constitutive levels of Cks1 protein are very high in mammary carcinoma tissue and in breast tumor cell lines. However, despite being transcribed at relatively high levels, Cks1 protein is very low in normal mammary tissue. Also, basal Cks1 is barely detectable in primary human mammary epithelial
BACKGROUND
DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1) plays a critical role in breast cancer progression. However, the epigenetic mechanism regulating DNMT1 expression remains largely unknown.
METHODS
Epigenetic regulation of DNMT1 was assessed in 85 invasive ductal carcinomas from BRCA1 mutation carriers.
