摘要
DNA hypermethylation is an epigenetic modification that plays a critical role in the oncogenesis of myelodysplastic syndromes(MDS).Aberrant DNA methylation represses the transcription of promotors of tumor suppressor genes,inducing gene silencing.Realgar(α-AsS) is a traditional medicine used for the treatment of various diseases in the ancient time.Realgar was reported to have efficacy for acute promyelocytic leukemia(APL). It has been demonstrated that realgar could efficiently reduce DNA hypermethylation of MDS.This review discusses the mechanisms of realgar on inhibiting DNA hypermethylation of MDS, as well as the species and metabolisms of arsenic in vivo.
