Compounds containing nucleic acid bases or their precursors modified by enrichment at specific sites with heavy stable isotopes of elements naturally present at those sites in minute amount are useful for the treatment of diseases characterized by altered gene expression and altered pattern of epigenomic control. These compounds, when used as nutrients or in other medicinal application methods, can alter the DNA methylation pattern in a simple way through the well-understood mechanism of kinetic isotope effect (KIE). This effect could also be useful for modifying methylation kinetics in stem cell technology, cloning and as disease therapeutics.
含有核酸碱基或其前体物的化合物,通过在特定位点富集天然存在于极微量的元素的重稳定同位素修饰,可用于治疗表现为基因表达和表观基因组控制模式改变的疾病。当这些化合物用作营养物质或其他药用应用方法时,可以通过已知的动力学同位素效应机制(KIE)简单地改变DNA甲基化模式。这种效应也可以用于改变干细胞技术、克隆和疾病治疗中的甲基化动力学。
