DNMT1 and cancer: We discussed the connection between DNMT1, which methylates hemimethylated CpG sites, and TET1, which demethylates cytosine, because these proteins are highly connected in the expression of pluripotency-related and EMT- or MET-related genes, as well as in the regulation of cell proliferation and energy metabolism, which have been demonstrated to play important roles in a variety of biological processes, including embryonic development, somatic cell reprogramming, and cancer progression.
