Anti-leukemic activity of DNA methyltransferase inhibitor procaine targeted on human leukaemia cells
Chromatin remodeling in DNA is fundamental to gene expression, DNA replication and repair processes. Methylation of promoter regions of tumor-suppressor genes and histone deacetylation leads to gene silencing and transcriptionally repressive chromatin. For the past few decades DNA methylation agents...
