Stochastic demethylation and redundant epigenetic suppressive mechanisms generate highly heterogeneous responses to pharmacological DNA methyltransferase inhibition by Mie K. Jakobsen, Sofie Traynor, Aaraby Y. Nielsen, Christina Dahl, Mette Staehr, Simon T. Jakobsen, Maria S. Madsen, Rasmus Siersbaek, Mikkel G. Terp, Josefine B. Jensen, Christina B. Pedersen, Anup Shrestha, Jonathan R. Brewer, Pascal H. G. Duijf, Odd L. Gammelgaard, Henrik J. Ditzel, Alexei F. Kirkin, Per Guldberg, Morten F. Gjerstorff

“…Results We show that breast cancer tumors and cell cultures exhibit a highly heterogenous response to DNA methyltransferase inhibitors, persisting even under high drug concentrations and efficient DNA methyltransferase depletion. The observed variability in response to DNA methyltransferase inhibitors was independent of cancer-associated aberrations and clonal genetic diversity. …”
