Abstract
The critical role of dysregulated epigenetic pathways in cancer genesis, development, and therapy has typically been established as a result of scientific and technical innovations in next generation sequencing. RNA interference, histone modification, DNA methylation and chromatin remodelling are epigenetic processes that control gene expression without causing mutations in the DNA. Although epigenetic abnormalities are thought to be a symptom of cell tumorigenesis and malignant events that impact tumor growth and drug resistance, physicians believe that related processes might be a key therapeutic target for cancer treatment and prevention due to the reversible nature of these processes. A plethora of novel strategies for addressing epigenetics in cancer therapy for immuno-oncological complications are currently available - ranging from basic treatment to epigenetic editing. - and they will be the subject of this comprehensive review. In this review, we cover most of the advancements made in the field of targeting epigenetics with special emphasis on microbiology, plasma science, biophysics, pharmacology, molecular biology, phytochemistry, and nanoscience.

Abstract
Chemotherapeutic drugs are used to treat advanced stages of cancer or following surgery. However, cancers often develop resistance against drugs, leading to failure of treatment and recurrence of the disease. Polyphenols are a family of organic compounds with more than 10,000 members which have a three-membered flavan ring system in common. These natural compounds are known for their beneficial properties, such as free radical scavenging, decreasing oxidative stress, and modulating inflammation. Herein, we discuss the role of polyphenols (mainly curcumin, resveratrol, and epigallocatechin gallate [EGCG]) in different aspects of cancer drug resistance. Increasing drug uptake by tumor cells, decreasing drug metabolism by enzymes (e.g. cytochromes and glutathione-S-transferases), and reducing drug efflux are some of the mechanisms by which polyphenols increase the sensitivity of cancer cells to chemotherapeutic agents. Polyphenols also affect other targets for overcoming chemoresistance in cancer cells, including cell death (i.e. autophagy and apoptosis), EMT, ROS, DNA repair processes, cancer stem cells, and epigenetics (e.g. miRNAs).

Abstract
Leukaemia is a malignant disease of the blood. Current treatments for leukaemia are associated with serious side-effects. Plant-derived polyphenols have been identified as potent anti-cancer agents and have been shown to work synergistically with standard chemotherapy agents in leukaemia cell lines. Polyphenols have multiple mechanisms of action and have been reported to decrease cell proliferation, arrest cell cycle and induce apoptosis via the activation of caspase (3, 8 and 9); the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential and the release of cytochrome c. Polyphenols have been shown to suppress activation of transcription factors, including NF-kB and STAT3. Furthermore, polyphenols have pro-oxidant properties, with increasing evidence that polyphenols inhibit the antioxidant activity of glutathione, causing oxidative DNA damage. Polyphenols also induce autophagy-driven cancer cell death and regulate multidrug resistance proteins, and thus may be able to reverse resistance to chemotherapy agents. This review examines the molecular mechanism of action of polyphenols and discusses their potential therapeutic targets. Here, we discuss the pharmacological properties of polyphenols, including their anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, anti-proliferative, and anti-tumour activities, and suggest that polyphenols are potent natural agents that can be useful therapeutically; and discuss why data on bioavailability, toxicity and metabolism are essential to evaluate their clinical use.

Abstract
In-depth insights in cancer biology over the past decades have highlighted the important roles of epigenetic mechanisms in the initiation and progression of tumorigenesis. The cancer epigenome usually experiences multiple alternations, including genome-wide DNA hypomethylation and site-specific DNA hypermethylation, various histone posttranslational modifications, and dysregulation of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs). These epigenetic changes are plastic and reversible, and could potentially occur in the early stage of carcinogenesis preceding genetic mutation, offering unique opportunities for intervention therapies. Therefore, targeting the cancer epigenome or cancer epigenetic dysregulation with some selected agents (called epi-drugs) represents an evolving and promising strategy for cancer chemoprevention and therapy. Phytochemicals, as a class of pleiotropic molecules, have manifested great potential in modulating different cancer processes through epigenetic machinery, of which green tea polyphenol epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) is one of the most extensively studied. In this review, we first summarize epigenetic events involved in the pathogenesis of cancer, including DNA/RNA methylations, histone modifications and ncRNAs' dysregulations. We then focus on the recently discovered roles of phytochemicals, with a special emphasis on EGCG, in modulating different cancer processes through regulating epigenetic machinery. We finally discuss limitations of EGCG as an epigenetic modulator for cancer chemoprevention and treatment and offer potential strategies to overcome the shortcomings.

Abstract
Resveratrol (RV) is a natural polyphenolic phytoalexin derived from peanuts, red grape skins and red wine, and has been demonstrated to alleviate multiple types of malignancies. However, how RV achieves this in melanoma is unknown. The aim of present study was to investigate the role of RV in melanoma, using Cell Counting Kit-8, flow cytometry and western blot analysis. RV inhibited melanoma cell viability, migration and invasion counteracting melanoma progression. In addition, proteins associated with autophagy, including Beclin 1 and microtubule-associated protein 1A/1B-light chain 3 (LC3)-II/I, were upregulated, whereas p62 expression was downregulated in RV-treated cells. The number of LC3+ puncta, which can be applied to represent autophagosome formation, increased following RV treatment, suggesting that RV may trigger autophagy in melanoma cells. Treatment with the autophagy inhibitor, 3-methyladenine, reversed the RV-dependent inhibition of viability, migration and invasion of melanoma cells. RV treatment also reduced the ratios of phosphorylated (p)-AKT/AKT and p-mTOR/mTOR in melanoma cells. In conclusion, these findings suggested that RV may inhibit the viability and migration of melanoma cells through inhibiting the AKT/mTOR pathway, thus triggering autophagy. This indicated that RV may serve as an innovative therapeutic for melanoma treatment.

Abstract
Objective: one of the main mechanisms in which cancer cells are resistant to chemotherapy drugs and therapeutic strategies is resistance to apoptosis due to these anticancer factors. Regulating the expression of genes through epigenetics, especially regulation through methylation, is one of the key aspects of regulating gene expression and the function of genes, which is also regulated by the pathways regulating the pathway of apoptosis. The epigenetic regulatory phenomenon in cancer cells can undergo a change in regulation and induces resistance to apoptosis against chemotherapy and anticancer factors. The purpose of the present scrutiny was defined to probe the effect of subtoxic prednisolone dose on the level of promoter methylation and gene expression of BAX and BCL2 in the CCRF-CEM cells. Methods: The treated cells by prednisolone, cultured in RPMI 1640 medium in standard condition. Alteration in promoter DNA methylation was analyzed by use of methylation specific-PCR (MSP) technique after the defined intervened time of Prednisolone treatment with a subtoxic dose. Results: Prednisolone can induce apoptosis via alteration in BAX and BCL2 genes, based on our previous scrutiny. This essay shows no varies in the Pattern of DNA methylation of examined genes; however, prednisolone changes the expression of examined genes. Conclusion: Lack of alteration through prednisolone treatment in DNA methylation template of BAX and BCL2 genes make this possible that Prednisolone affects apoptotic gene expression via different pathways, which need more research to be done about it.

Abstract
Ovarian cancer is associated with a high percentage of recurrence of tumor and resistance to chemotherapy. Cancer stem cells (CSCs) form a rare population with a significant capacity to begin and expand malignant diseases. Eliminating the drug resistance of CSCs by factors that have fewer side effects to the patient is vital. To investigate the effect of resveratrol (RES) and doxorubicin (DOX) on drug resistance and apoptosis of CSCs; at the first, isolation of CSCs from SKOV3 ovarian carcinoma cells and their dosage adjustment (IC50 ) with RES and DOX was performed. Then, isolated CSCs were treated with RES and DOX IC 50 of 55 and 250 nM, respectively. Subsequently, their effects on drug resistance and cell death were evaluated using real-time polymerase chain reaction, rhodamine 123 uptakes. The results of the present study demonstrated that treatment of SKOV3 with 55 μM of RES and 250 nM of DOX simultaneously increased cell viability in CSCs to DOX after 24 and 48 hours by increasing the expression of Bcl-2-associated X protein (BAX) and caspase-3 genes, and decreased the expression and function of multidrug resistance protein 1 (MDR1) and multidrug resistance-associated protein 1 (MRP1) genes indicated by intracellular the rhodamine 123 content. Treatment of RES could increase the activity of DOX cell viability in CSCs originated from SKOV3 ovarian carcinoma and decrease drug resistance capacity to DOX.

Abstract
Objective: Chemotherapy is the most widely recognized technique to regard leukemia and also different sorts of human tumors. In any case, tranquilize protection has stayed as the primary test against the adequacy of medications. Besides, having different unfriendly impacts, chemotherapy drugs are getting to be traded by characteristic modalities for growth treatment. In such manner, natural segments, for example, resveratrol and prednisolone have been recognized to sharpen the leukemic cells to modified cell demise through an arrangement of complex procedures. In this investigation, we have analyzed effect of 15, 50 and 100μM of resveratrol and 700μM of prednisolone on the human multidrug protection quality 1 (MDR1) as a notable marker for cell sedate protection. We assessed the impact of resveratrol and prednisolone on MDR1 protein expression in the CCRF-CEM cell line as an agent for intense lymphoblastic leukemia. The investigation was planned to clear up whether. Materials and methods: CCRF-CEM cells linage get under drug treatment with use of resveratrol and prednisolone. Western blot use at 24 and 48 hours with different doses of resveratrol and prednisolone to analysis of MDR1 expression changes. Results: Effect of 15, 50, and 100 micro molar of resveratrol and 700 micro molars of prednisolone on CCRF-CEM cells led to the MDR1 decrease. Western blot use for evaluation of MDR1 protein expression changes. Conclusion: In the present study, we observed that resveratrol and prednisolone, with a dose-dependent effect, can reduce the expression of the MDR1 protein. This reduction of expression demonstrates that resveratrol and prednisolone can overcome to drug resistance created by MDR1.

Abstract
Epigenetic mechanisms control gene expression during normal development and their aberrant regulation may lead to human diseases including cancer. Natural phytochemicals can largely modulate mammalian epigenome through regulation of mechanisms and proteins responsible for chromatin remodeling. Phytochemicals are mainly contained in fruits, seeds, and vegetables as well as in foods supplements. These compounds act as powerful cellular antioxidants and anti-carcinogens agents. Several dietary compounds such as catechins, curcumin, genistein, quercetin and resveratrol, among others, exhibit potent anti-tumor activities through the reversion of epigenetic alterations associated to oncogenes activation and inactivation of tumor suppressor genes. In this review, we summarized the actual knowledge about the role of dietary phytochemicals in the restoration of aberrant epigenetic alterations found in cancer cells with a particular focus on DNA methylation and histone modifications. Furthermore, we discussed the mechanisms by which these natural compounds modulate gene expression at epigenetic level and described their molecular targets in diverse types of cancer. Modulation of epigenetic activities by phytochemicals will allow the discovery of novel biomarkers for cancer prevention, and highlights its potential as an alternative therapeutic approach in cancer.

Abstract
Numerous studies support the potent anticancer activity of resveratrol and its regulation of key oncogenic signaling pathways. Additionally, the activation of sirtuin 1, a deacetylase, by resveratrol has been known for many years, making resveratrol perhaps one of the earliest nutraceuticals with associated epigenetic activity. Such epigenetic regulation by resveratrol, and the mechanism thereof, has attracted much attention in the past decade. Focusing on methylation and acetylation, the two classical epigenetic regulations, we showcase the potential of resveratrol as an effective anticancer agent by virtue of its ability to induce differential epigenetic changes. We discuss the de-repression of tumor suppressors such as BRCA-1, nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (NRF2) and Ras Associated Domain family-1α (RASSF-1α) by methylation, PAX1 by acetylation and the phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) by both methylation and acetylation, in addition to the epigenetic regulation of oncogenic NF-κB and STAT3 signaling by resveratrol. Further, we evaluate the literature supporting the potentiation of HDAC inhibitors and the inhibition of DNMTs by resveratrol in different human cancers. This discussion underlines a robust epigenetic activity of resveratrol that warrants further evaluation, particularly in clinical settings.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is characterized by excessive accumulation of lymphoblast and progenitors. Leukemia is the most common cancer in children and ALL is the most common subtype. Many studies have shown that the YKL-40 gene is one of the most widely expressed genes in tumors, including leukemia, but not in healthy blood cells. Clinical studies have shown that serum YKL-40 levels have a positive correlation with tumor expansion, in addition to being a prognostic agent independent of a short relapse-free interval, as well as a brief overall survival in patients with various cancers. The previous study shows that YKL-40 is closely related to the degree of pathology or degree of human leukemia pathology and plays an important role in cell proliferation. Hence, the YKL-40 can be an attractive target in designing anticancer therapies. METHODS CCRF-CEM cells were treated with resveratrol and prednisolone. For analysis of YKL-40 expression changes under medication, real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Western blot techniques were used at resonating intervals of 24 and 48 hours. RESULTS The effect of 15, 50, and 100 μM resveratrol and 700 μM of prednisolone on CCRF-CEM cells reduced YKL-40. The YKL-40 gene was quantitatively measured using RT-PCR. The Western blot method was used to evaluate changes in the expression of YKL-40 protein. CONCLUSION In this study, we first evaluated YKL-40 expression and resveratrol and prednisolone effect on YKL-40 in ALL. This finding supports the idea of targeting YKL-40 as a new drug treatment of ALL and extends the use of resveratrol in antileukemia research.

Abstract
Objective: Glucocorticoids are one of the most important drugs in the treatment of acute lymphoblastic leukemia
for children. It is very important to response to glucocorticoid in the prognosis of these patients. Therefore, resistance
to treatment is a major problem in lymphoid leukemia cases. In, this study, CCRF-CEM cell line was selected as a
chemotherapy-resistant model. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of high dose prednisolone on induction
of apoptosis and changes in BAX and BCL-2 gene expression at different times. Methods: CCRF-CEM cell lines were
grown in standard conditions. Based on previous studies, a dose of 700 μM as subtoxic dose was selected. Changes in
gene expression of BAX and BCL-2 were evaluated by using real time PCR techniques. Also stained with annexin V
and the induction of apoptosis was assessed by FACS machine. Results: In this study it was found that prednisolone in
high doses at different times significantly increased the gene expression of BAX and on the other hand the amount of
BCL-2 expression was reduced. Cells that treated for 48 hours had more significant changes in gene expression. Based
on flowcytometry data, prednisolone can induce apoptosis in a time dependent manner on this cancerous resistant cell
line. Conclusions: Apoptosis induced by high-dose prednisolone in the CCRF-CEM cells, which is almost resistant,
and possibly mediated by reducing the expression of BCL-2 and BAX up-regulation.

Apoptotic effect of resveratrol on human T-ALL cell line CCRF-CEM is unlikely exerted through alteration of BAX and BCL2 promoter methylation. J Cell Biochem 2018; 119:10033-10040.

Abstract
One of the fundamental barriers leading to failure of leukemia therapy is the resistance against conventional chemotherapies, common modality used to cure leukemia. Having the potential to trigger apoptosis in various human leukemia cell lines, resveratrol is regarded as a robust agent in chemotherapy regimens. The current study was aimed to assess whether the apoptotic effect of resveratrol on T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia cell line, CCRF-CEM, is exerted through DNA methylation of BAX and BCL2 gene promoters. For this purpose, the CCRF-CEM cells were treated by resveratrol under standard cell culture. To analyze the promoter DNA methylation changes, we used methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction technique following the resveratrol treatment at different dosages and time intervals. Based on our previous study, the resveratrol treatment can trigger apoptosis in CCRF-CEM cell line via upregulation of apoptotic BAX gene and downregulation of antiapoptotic BCL2 gene. Despite these alterations in gene expression, the current study reveals no changes in DNA methylation patterns of subjected genes following the resveratrol treatment. Unchanged status of DNA methylation of BAX and BCL2 genes may suggest that resveratrol causes the gene expression changes through a distinct mechanism which requires further studies to be understood.
