gene regulatory networks; and genetic
interactions; transport and catalysis events; and physical

interaction between Pax3, p53, and Mdm2 that did not
involve attaching to DNA or switching
genes «on» or «off.»
After acknowledging that there can be complicated
interactions between
genes, and that DNA insertion might influence regulatory networks
involved in many
genes, it also should be remembered that the original discovery of
genes was only possible because disruption of a
gene causes a limited set of changes to the organism, such as a change in eye colour.

gene - environment
interaction is
involved, they first identified a likely candidate
gene, FADS2, which codes for an enzyme known to play a key role in fatty acid production.

gene expression and protein
interactions display a modular structure that may be
involved in stabilizing phenotype.
At any given instant it can be argued that the cell is in a «state» defined by its components — their concentrations and locations, the
interactions between components — that are modulated in space and time, and the complex circuitry — that
involves a large number of interacting networks and a snapshot of the dynamical processes — such as
gene expression, cell cycle, transport of components, etc..

interactions.
In this review, I highlight the main
genes known to cause uncommon monogenic forms of diabetes (e.g. maturity - onset diabetes of the young — MODY — and insulin resistance syndromes), as well as describe some of the main approaches used to identify
genes involved in the more common forms of T2D that result from the
interaction between environmental risk factors and predisposing genotypes.
This is in accordance with previous reports that decitabine and 5 - azacytidine produce a marked synergistic effect in combination with suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid and romidepsin in T - lymphoma cell lines by modulating cell cycle arrest and apoptosis.26, 27 As a mechanism of action, KMT2D mutations of B - lymphoma cells promote malignant outgrowth by perturbing methylation of H3K4 that affect the JAK - STAT, Toll - like receptor, or B - cell receptor pathway.28, 29 Here our study indicated that dual treatment with chidamide and decitabine enhanced the
interaction of KMT2D with the transcription factor PU.1, thereby inactivating the H3K4me - associated signaling pathway MAPK, which is constitutively activated in T - cell lymphoma.13, 30,31 The transcription factor PU.1 is
involved in the development of all hematopoietic lineages32 and regulates lymphoid cell growth and transformation.33 Aberrant PU.1 expression promotes acute myeloid leukemia and is related to the pathogenesis of multiple myeloma via the MAPK pathway.34, 35 On the other hand, PU.1 is also shown to interact with chromatin remodeler and DNA methyltransferease to control hematopoiesis and suppress leukemia.36 Our data thus suggested that the combined action of chidamide and decitabine may interfere with the differentiation and / or viability of PTCL - NOS through a PU.1 - dependent
gene expression program.
