Immunotherapy has made significant strides in cancer treatment, particularly through immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), which shown notable clinical benefits across various tumor types. Despite the transformative impact of ICB treatment therapy, only a minority patients exhibit positive response to it. In with solid tumors, those who respond well typically demonstrate an active profile referred as "hot" (immune-inflamed) phenotype. On other hand, non-responsive may distinct "cold" (immune-desert) phenotype, differing from features tumors. Additionally, there is more nuanced "excluded" positioned between and categories, known type.

Abstract Epigenetic modifications are defined as heritable changes in gene activity that do not involve the underlying DNA sequence. The oncogenic process is driven by accumulation of alterations impact genome's structure and function. Genetic mutations, which directly disrupt sequence, complemented epigenetic modulate expression, thereby facilitating acquisition malignant characteristics. Principals among these shifts methylation histone mark patterns, promote tumor development metastasis. Notably, reversible nature alterations, opposed to permanence genetic changes, positions machinery a prime target discovery novel therapeutics.

Cellular metabolism is crucial for various physiological processes, with folate-dependent one-carbon (1C) playing a pivotal role. Folate, B vitamin, key cofactor in this pathway, supporting DNA synthesis, methylation and antioxidant defenses. In dividing cells, folate facilitates nucleotide biosynthesis, ensuring genomic stability preventing carcinogenesis. Additionally, neurodevelopment, essential neural tube closure central nervous system formation. Thus, dysregulation of can contribute to pathologies such as cancer, severe birth defects, neurodegenerative diseases. Epidemiological evidence highlights folate's impact on disease risk its potential therapeutic target. antifolate drugs that inhibit enzymes 1C strategies targeting receptors are current options. However, cancer complex, varying among types dietary contexts. conditions, including Alzheimer's Parkinson's diseases, deficiency exacerbates cognitive decline through elevated homocysteine levels, contributing neuronal damage.

Post translasyonel modifikasyonların gerçekleştiği endoplazmik retikulumda (ER) işlenmiş protein yükü ile katlanma kapasitesi arasındaki dengenin bozulması sonucu, adaptif ER stresi oluşur ve otofajinin aktif olması beklenir. otofajik bozuklukların kanser ilişkisi belirsizliğini korumaktadır. Bu çalışmada çeşitli hücrelerinde bu yolaklardaki anahtar genlerdeki metilasyon değişikliklerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada (HepG2, MCF-7) sağlıklı hücrelerdeki (MCF-10A) ilgili genlerin düzeyleri RT-PZR tekniği araştırıldı. Çalışmamızda MCF7 genlerinden MAP3K5, ATF6 MAOA’nin DNA düzeylerinin anlamlı şekilde azaldığı XBP1 EIF2AK3 genlerinde ise arttığı belirlendi. HEPG2 MAOA hipometilasyon saptandı.
