Research Abstract

Numerous evidences have suggested that DNA methylation and histone modification play a role in tumorigenesis. However, information about target of epigenetic alterations is not enough. Here, we performed genome wide microarray analysis to identify novel targets of DNA methylation. DNA methylation can also be useful to predict sensitivity of tumors to anti-cancer drugs. We also found that histone H3K4 methylation can be a good molecular marker to identify non-coding RNA silenced by epigenetic changes in cancer.
