Lymphoid cell growth and transformation are suppressed by a key regulatory element of the gene encoding PU.1

TL;DR: It is shown that the URE has an essential role in orchestrating the dynamic PU.1 expression pattern required for lymphoid development and tumor suppression, and epigenetic silencing of selective tumor suppressor genes completed the transformation of lymphoid progenitors with URE deletion.
Journal ArticleDOI

Global assessment of promoter methylation in a mouse model of cancer identifies ID4 as a putative tumor-suppressor gene in human leukemia

TL;DR: This work developed a mouse model of T/natural killer acute lymphoblastic leukemia that is always preceded by polyclonal lymphocyte expansion to determine how aberrant promoter DNA methylation and consequent gene silencing might be contributing to leukemic transformation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Restriction landmark genome scanning identifies culture-induced DNA methylation instability in the human embryonic stem cell epigenome

TL;DR: Current methods of hESC propagation can rapidly programme stable and unpredictable epigenetic changes in the stem cell genome, which highlights the need for novel screening strategies and standardization of procedures for the derivation and culture of h ESC lines that minimize culture-induced instability.
