The effects of 5-azacytidine and 5-azadeoxycytidine on chromosome structure and function: Implications for methylation-associated cellular processes

Open access
Haaf, Thomas·1995·Pharmacology & Therapeutics

Abstract

5-Azacytidine (5-aza-C) analogs demonstrate a remarkable ability to induce heritable changes in gene and phenotypic expression. These cellular processes are associated with the demethylation of specific DNA sequences. On the other hand, 5-aza-C analogs have dramatic effects on chromosomes, leading to decondensation of chromatin structure, chromosomal instability and an advance in replication timing. Condensation inhibition of genetically inactive chromatin occurs when the DNA is still hemimethylated or fully methylated. In cell cultures prolonged for several replication cycles, chromosomal rearrangements and instability affect the 5-aza-C-sensitive regions. Moreover, the normally late-replicating inactive chromatin undergoes a transient temporal shift to an earlier DNA replication, characteristic of activatable chromatin. zThe induced alterations of chromosome structure and behavior may trigger the 5-aza-C-dependent process of cellular reprogramming. Apart from their differentiating and gene-modifying effects, 5-aza-C analogs can tumorigenically transform cells and modulate their metastatic potential. High doses of 5-aza-C analogs have cytotoxic and antineoplastic activities.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
