The Emerging Spectrum of Early Life Exposure-Related Inflammation and Epigenetic Therapy
Journal Title: Cancer Studies & Molecular Medicine – Open Journal - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Early life exposure to a variety of insults during sensitive windows of development can reprogram normal physiological responses and alter disease susceptibility later in life. During this process, inflammation triggered by a variety of adverse exposures plays an important role in the initiation and development of many types of diseases including tumorigenesis. This systematic review article summaries the current knowledge about the role and mechanism of inflammation in development of diseases. In addition, epigenome alteration related to inflammation and treatment options using epigenetic modifiers are highlighted and discussed.
