The technology for generation of induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) has made
significant contributions to various scientific fields, and the field of cancer
biology is no exception. Although cancer is generally believed to develop through
accumulation of multiple genetic mutations, there is increasing evidence that
cancer cells also acquire epigenetic abnormalities during development,
maintenance, and progression. Because the epigenetic status of somatic cells
changes dynamically through reprogramming, iPSC technology can be utilized to
actively and globally alter the epigenetic status of differentiated cells. Using
this technology, a recent study has revealed that some types of cancer can
develop mainly through disruption of the epigenetic status triggered by
dedifferentiation. In this paper, we outline the reprograming process and the
epigenetic mechanism associated with the maintenance or conversion of cell
identity. We then describe several observations suggesting that dedifferentiation
can play an important role in cancer development. Finally, we introduce the
system responsible for in vivo reprogramming to demonstrate the involvement of
dedifferentiation-driven epigenetic disruption in cancer development, and propose
that particular types of cancer can develop predominantly through epigenetic
alterations.
