Deadly networks: disease-causing protein and DNA modifications
Hot topicsChairs: I. M. Adcock (London, United Kingdom), M. Cazzola (Rome, Italy)
Aims: At the conclusion of this session, the participant will be able to:
- describe the cutting-edge current concepts about how changes in histone and DNA structure regulate cell proliferation and gene expression at the ?epigenetic? level, and how these can apply to human pulmonary diseases;
- understand the importance of oxidative and nitrative stress in regulating signalling pathways and controlling cell function;
- appreciate the wealth of data implicating abnormal signalling in the control of epithelial cell function;
- understand the potential for the targeting of these processes in the development of novel drug treatments for diseases such as lung cancer, fibrosis, severe asthma and COPD.
