Download or read book Genetic Steroid Disorders written by David M. Lonard and published by Elsevier Inc. Chapters. This book was released on 2013-08-22 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nuclear receptors are transcription factors that bind steroid, retinoid and thyroid hormones, and other ligands to drive hormone-dependent gene expression in conjunction with co-activators and co-repressors, collectively referred to as co-regulators. So far, more than 400 co-regulators have been reported in the literature and they have been implicated in a wide variety of pathological conditions, genetic syndromes, and in cancer. A key feature of co-regulator-based disease is the pleiotropic effects that disruption of normal co-regulator function has on energy metabolism, neurological function, and susceptibility to cancer. Technological advances in proteomics, genomics, and transcriptomics are leading to new ways to understand the pleiotropic actions of co-regulators. We expect that co-regulator ‘omics’ will lead to ways of understanding how co-regulators can be evaluated in the context of other complex genetic factors, hormones, diet, the environment, and stress. The broad role that co-regulators have in human pathological conditions makes it important to consider them as important new drug targets, such as for the treatment of hormone-dependent cancers or for indications related to energy metabolism. Better system-wide knowledge of co-regulator control of transcription and physiology is expected to lead to the best placement for future co-regulator-based therapies.

Download or read book Epigenetic Cancer Therapy written by Steven Gray and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2015-07-01 with total page 748 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Epigenetic Cancer Therapy unites issues central to a translational audience actively seeking to understand the topic. It is ideal for cancer specialists, including oncologists and clinicians, but also provides valuable information for researchers, academics, students, governments, and decision-makers in the healthcare sector. The text covers the basic background of the epigenome, aberrant epigenetics, and its potential as a target for cancer therapy, and includes individual chapters on the state of epigenome knowledge in specific cancers (including lung, breast, prostate, liver). The book encompasses both large-scale intergovernmental initiatives as well as recent findings across cancer stem cells, rational drug design, clinical trials, and chemopreventative strategies. As a whole, the work articulates and raises the profile of epigenetics as a therapeutic option in the future management of cancer. Concisely summarizes the therapeutic implications of recent, large-scale epigenome studies, including the cancer epigenome atlas Discusses targeted isoform specific versus pan-specific inhibitors, a rational drug design approach to epigenetics relevant to pharmacoepigenetic clinical applications Covers new findings in the interplay between cancer stem cells (CSCs) and drug resistance, demonstrating that epigenetic machinery is a candidate target for the eradication of these CSCs

Download or read book Mechanisms of Gene Regulation written by Carsten Carlberg and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-06-06 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This textbook aims to describe the fascinating area of eukaryotic gene regulation for graduate students in all areas of the biomedical sciences. Gene expression is essential in shaping the various phenotypes of cells and tissues and as such, regulation of gene expression is a fundamental aspect of nearly all processes in physiology, both in healthy and in diseased states. This pivotal role for the regulation of gene expression makes this textbook essential reading for students of all the biomedical sciences, in order to be better prepared for their specialized disciplines. A complete understanding of transcription factors and the processes that alter their activity is a major goal of modern life science research. The availability of the whole human genome sequence (and that of other eukaryotic genomes) and the consequent development of next-generation sequencing technologies have significantly changed nearly all areas of the biological sciences. For example, the genome-wide location of histone modifications and transcription factor binding sites, such as provided by the ENCODE consortium, has greatly improved our understanding of gene regulation. Therefore, the focus of this book is the description of the post-genome understanding of gene regulation. The purpose of this book is to provide, in a condensed form, an overview on the present understanding of the mechanisms of gene regulation. The authors are not aiming to compete with comprehensive treatises, but rather focus on the essentials. Therefore, the authors have favored a high figure-to-text ratio following the rule stating that “a picture tells more than thousand words”. The content of the book is based on the lecture course, which is given by Prof. Carlberg since 2001 at the University of Eastern Finland in Kuopio. The book is subdivided into 4 sections and 13 chapters. Following the Introduction there are three sections, which take a view on gene regulation from the perspective of transcription factors, chromatin and non-coding RNA, respectively. Besides its value as a textbook, Mechanisms of Gene Regulation will be a useful reference for individuals working in biomedical laboratories.
