Tudor domain containing protein 9 (TDRD9) is a RNA helicase normally expressed in the germline, where it is involved in the biosynthesis of PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs). Here, we show that TDRD9 is highly expressed in a subset of non-small cell lung carcinomas and derived cell lines by hypomethylation of its CpG island. Furthermore, TDRD9...

The epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (EMT) and its reversion (MET) are related to tumor cell dissemination and migration, tumor circulating cell generation, cancer stem cells, chemoresistance, and metastasis formation. To identify chromatin and epigenetic factors possibly involved in the process of EMT, we compare the levels of expression...

Background: A complex interplay between chromatin and topological machineries is critical for genome architec‑ ture and function. However, little is known about these reciprocal interactions, even for cohesin, despite its multiple roles in DNA metabolism. Results: We have used genome‑wide analyses to address how cohesins and chromatin structure...
