Later among repetitive and non-coding “junk” DNA or “dark matter of genome” retrotransposons were found, short interspersed nuclear elements SINEs or long short interspersed nuclear elements and LINE,9 gene controlling elements. For many years the scientists were focused on DNA sequences of genes, a small portion of genome coding proteins. Carcinogen aflatoxin B1 covalently binding to DNA showed that DNA repair was deficient in repetitive satellite DNA compare in bulk DNA despite of the initial level of modification was the same in both DNAs.10 Microsatellite mutations associate with cancers and aging.11 Tumor suppressor p53 is multifunctional transcription factor, “the guardian of the genome”, the most frequently mutated gene in tumors contributes in silencing of repeats and noncoding RNAs. The p53 protein mediates expression ~1000 genes and transcription of the repeats and ncRNAs.12 Many p53 binding sites reside in transposable repeats.13 Mouse oncogene Mdm2 is a negative regulator of p53 and DNA repair genes, is overexpressed in tumors and contributes to chromosomal breaks (double-strand breaks, DSBs) and CIN at higher rate in transgenic Mdm2 mice with aging than in wild-type mice.14 The DNA sequences associated with chromosomal breaks and rearrangements are not well understood. The DNA breaks are formed as mistakes in DNA replication, transposition of mobile elements or by environmental agents. DSBs are random but some of them occurred on fragile sites what are near telomere or centromere. The precise genome-mapping of DSBs in human chromosomes revealed non-random fragmentation and DSB hot spots.15","PeriodicalId":15185,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Prevention & Current Research","volume":"9 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-02-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91138650","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although the locally confined disease is treatable, treatment of the metastasized prostate cancer is still incurable with mostly guarded prognosis.4,5 The development of resistance to both radiation and chemotherapy has limited the efficacy of current therapeutic interventions for PCa. This has necessitated the search for novel and safer alternative therapeutic regimens. One way to circumvent potential treatment-induced resistance is combination treatment, using two or more therapies that may be mutually inclusive or exclusive in terms of their mechanism of actions.","PeriodicalId":15185,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Cancer Prevention & Current Research","volume":"180 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-01-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89066765","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
