The effects of cladribine and fludarabine on DNA methylation in K562 cells.
Author: Fabianowska-MajewskaKrystyna, WyczechowskaDorota
Original Abstract of the Article :
The effects of the antileukemic adenosine analogues, 2-chloro-2'-deoxyadenosine (cladribine) and 9-beta-D-arabinosyl-2-fluoroadenine (fludarabine), on DNA methylation were studied in a cell line K562. It was previously found that both drugs inactivated SAH hydrolase, an enzyme which participates in ...See full text at original site

The Effects of Cladribine and Fludarabine on DNA Methylation in K562 Cells
The field of medicine is a vast desert, constantly seeking new ways to combat disease. This research ventures into the intricate landscape of DNA methylation, a process crucial for regulating gene expression. The study investigates the effects of the antileukemic adenosine analogues, cladribine and fludarabine, on DNA methylation in K562 cells. Through a comprehensive analysis of various aspects of DNA methylation, the authors unveil the complex interplay between these drugs and the methylation process. The findings contribute to a deeper understanding of the mechanisms by which these drugs exert their antileukemic effects. A key finding is the inhibition of C-5 DNA methyltransferase by both cladribine and fludarabine, suggesting a potential role for DNA methylation in their therapeutic efficacy.
