Methylation of 45S Ribosomal DNA (rDNA) Is Associated with Cancer and Aging in Humans by Fengqing Shao, Xiaoqi Liu, Xianzhi Zhang, Qi Wang, Wencai Wang

“…The results showed that rDNA methylation in most cancer cases displayed a consistent pattern with hypermethylation in the coding region but with hypomethylation in the promoter region, which likely facilitates the proliferation and metastasis of cancerous cells. Distinctively, both the coding and promoter regions of rDNA become increasingly methylated during the process of aging, indicating the decline of rDNA activity. …”
