  2. 1. Targeted Inhibition of Polycomb Repressive Complexes in Multiple Myeloma : Implications for Biology and Therapy

    Author : Mohammad Alzrigat; Helena Jernberg-Wiklund; Fredrik Öberg; Kristina Drott; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Multiple Myeloma; Epigenetics; Polycomb; PRC2; PRC1; EZH2; BMI-1; UNC1999; PTC-209; Epigenetic Therapy; Medicinsk vetenskap; Medical Science; Molekylär medicin; Molecular Medicine;

    Abstract : Multiple myeloma (MM) is a hematological malignancy of antibody producing plasmablasts/plasma cells. MM is characterized by extensive genetic and clonal heterogeneity, which have hampered the attempts to identify a common underlying mechanism for disease establishment and development of appropriate treatment regimes.

  4. 2. Genetic and Epigenetic Characterisation of Breast Tumours

    Author : Karolina Holm; Bröstcancer-genetik; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Breast cancer; PIK3CA; PTEN; PI3K pathway; CCND1; microarrays; molecular subtypes; DNA methylation; EZH2; H3K27me3; PRC2; histone modification;

    Abstract : Breast tumours harbour a large amount of genetic and epigenetic alterations, which are associated with e.g. tumour aggressiveness, prognosis, and response to therapy. READ MORE

  5. 3. The Epigenome of Multiple Myeloma : From genome-wide analysis to pharmacological manipulation

    Author : Alba Atienza Párraga; Helena Jernberg-Wiklund; Fredrik Öberg; Antonia Kalushkova; Miguel Angel Peinado; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Multiple myeloma; epigenetics; Polycomb; EZH2; miRNA; DNA methylation; inhibitor.; Experimentell patologi; Experimental Pathology;

    Abstract : Nowadays epigenetic dysregulation is known to play a crucial role in virtually all cancers. In multiple myeloma (MM), an extensively heterogeneous malignancy, the key common feature among patients is the gene silencing imposed by the PRC2 complex through the addition of H3K27me3. READ MORE

  6. 4. Genome-wide epigenetic profiling of B cell leukemia and lymphoma

    Author : Mohammad Hamdy Abdelrazak Morsy; Göteborgs universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; CLL; PRC2; EZH2; Epigenetics; CpG islands; DNA methylation; ChIP-seq; RNA-seq;

    Abstract : Epigenetic modifications, at the level of DNA methylation and post-translational modifications of histone tails cooperatively function in the organization of the genome, and thereby establish the gene expression profiles, phenotypes, and cellular fates. In this work, we investigated the aberrant epigenome in chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) which is one of the most frequent lymphoid malignancies in the west including the Nordic countries.

  7. 5. Targeting molecular mechanisms for epigenetic silencing in multiple myeloma : Implications for biology and precision medicine

    Author : Patrick Nylund; Helena Jernberg Wiklund; Antonia Kalushkova Nair; Fredrik Öberg; Toril Holien; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; Multiple myeloma; epigenetics; PRC2; lncRNA; metabolomics; miRNA.;

    Abstract : Multiple myeloma (MM) is a heterogeneous haematological cancer where malignant plasma cells clonally expand within the bone marrow. The transcriptional repressor PRC2 and its catalytic subunit EZH2 play a major role in MM, as PRC2 re-targeting results in a MM-specific gene silencing profile. READ MORE
