Previously we demonstrated that epigenetic mechanisms are active in cHL to induce this peculiar phenotype. The results show that combined DNA demethylation and histone acetylation of T-cell lines induce an almost complete extinction of the T-cell phenotype, including the down-regulation of essential T-cell receptor signalling pathway genes such as CD3, LCK and ZAP70, as well as an up-regulation of ALCL-characteristic genes. In contrast, combined DNA demethylation and histone acetylation of ALCL cells is not able to reconstitute their T-cell phenotype. This clearly demonstrates that similar epigenetic mechanisms are active in ALCL and cHL which are responsible for the extinction of their cell type characteristic phenotype. We subjected T-cell lymphoma/leukemia cell lines and ALCL cell lines (n=4, each) to epigenetic modifiers to evoke DNA demethylation and the histone acetylation. Global gene expression profiling (Affymetrix) was performed from treated and untreated cell lines which were evaluated by real-time RT-PCR and Western Blot analysis.http://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-GEOD-26101humanhttp://www.ebi.ac.uk/arrayexpress/experiments/E-GEOD-26101/samples/
