Abstract
⺠Cancer is a disease associated with changes in metabolism, redox, and gene expression. ⺠The mechanisms leading to epigenetic alterations during carcinogenesis are unknown. ⺠Epigenetic disruption of cancer genes is linked to aberrant mitochondrial metabolism. ⺠Metabolic redox changes alter cofactor availability to enzymes that alter chromatin. ⺠Aberrant metabolic and redox changes cause epigenetic instability in cancer.
