Methods for reverting methylation by targeting DNMT3A and DNMT3B

摘要

Methods for restoring a desired pattern of DNA methylation, inducing re-expression of methylation-silenced tumor suppressor genes (TSGs), and/or inhibiting tumorigenicity both in vitro and in vivo in a subject in need thereof by administering an effective amount of one or more miR-29s sufficient to target one or more of DNMT3A and DNMT3B are disclosed.
