Abstract

Recent advances in sequencing technologies led us to the discovery of mutations in epigenetic and metabolic regulators in peripheral T-cell lymphoma (PTCL). Frequencies of these mutations were found to be especially high in PTCL with features of follicular helper T cells (TFH). These mutations are also identifiable in myeloid malignancies as well as PTCL, suggesting that abnormalities in epigenetic and metabolic pathways are likely to be the fundamental mechanisms underlying various types of hematologic malignancies. The downstream pathways of these mutations have been extensively analyzed in myeloid malignancies, but have yet to be elucidated in PTCL. We clarified a downstream pathway of TET2 mutations in PTCL by analyzing TET2 knockdown mice.

Cardiovascular Disease & TET2

Cardiovascular diseases are the number one cause of deaths globally. Tet methylcytosine dioxygenase 2 (TET2)-mediated hematopoiesis has been implicated in accelerating heart failure. Here is the latest research on cardiovascular diseases and TET2.

Cancer Metabolism

In order for cancer cells to maintain rapid, uncontrolled cell proliferation, they must acquire a source of energy. Cancer cells acquire metabolic energy from their surrounding environment and utilize the host cell nutrients to do so. Here is the latest research on cancer metabolism.

Cancer Epigenetics & Metabolism (Keystone)

Epigenetic changes are present and dysregulated in many cancers, including DNA methylation, non-coding RNA segments and post-translational protein modifications. The epigenetic changes may or may not provide advantages for the cancer cells. This feed focuses on the relationship between cell metabolism, epigenetics and tumor differentiation.
