Therapeutic targeting of splicing variants in cancer

Pouya Sarvari, Karla Rubio, Stephanie Dobersch, Aglaia Ntokou, and Verónica Vallejo-Ruiz Therapeutic targeting of splicin gvariants in cancer Abstract The cellular process of removing introns from pre-mRNAs and connecting the remaining exons to produce a mature mRNA is termed mRNA splicing. However, exons from the same pre-mRNA can be joined indifferent combinations by AlternativeSplicing(AS), generating […]

Environmental Epigenetics and Obesity

Ramirez-Diaz Ivonne, Lobato Sagrario, Perez-Gonzalez Andrea, Morales Alejandra and Rubio Karla Environmental Epigenetics and Obesity AbstractIn recent years, increasing interest on the effects of dietary components onepigenetic processes and, consequently, on the regulation of gene expression andmetabolic responses has led clinical efforts worldwide to approach obesity. Wheninadequate, food consumption leads to chronic and non-communicable diseases(CNCD) […]

Nutriepigenomics in Environmental-Associated Oxidative Stress

Karla Rubio, Estefani Y. Hernández-Cruz, Diana G. Rogel-Ayala, Pouya Sarvari, Ciro Isidoro, Guillermo Barreto and José Pedraza-Chaverri Nutriepigenomics in Environmental-Associated Oxidative Stress. Complex molecular mechanisms define our responses to environmental stimuli. Beyond the DNA sequence itself, epigenetic machinery orchestrates changes in gene expression induced by diet, physical activity, stress and pollution, among others. Importantly, nutrition […]

Epigenetic Regulation in Exposome-Induced Tumorigenesis: Emerging Roles of ncRNAs

Epigenetics investigates modifications in the expression of genes that do not depend on the underlying DNA sequence. Abstract Environmental factors, including pollutants and lifestyle, constitute a significant role in severe, chronic pathologies with an essential societal, economic burden. The measurement of all environmental exposures and assessing their correlation with effects on individual health is defined […]
