Oncogenic Transformation Drives DNA Methylation Loss and Transcriptional Activation of Transposable Element Loci | Cancer Research

Transposable elements (TEs) are typically silenced by DNA methylation and repressive histone modifications in differentiated healthy human tissues. However, TE expression increases in a wide range of cancers and is correlated with global hypomethylation of cancer genomes. We assessed expression and DNA methylation of TEs in fibroblast cells that were…
