Aspirin As A Suppressor Of Cancer-related Epigenetic Aging

[LeeLemonoil]

From 2020. Another mesmerizing find about Aspirin

Great, maybe somebody can write down how big was the difference?

Great find, thanks. There is already good evidence showing that aspirin prevents excess methylation, probably via the acetylation of histones. Seeing such a striking difference in this study is really remarkable. Meanwhile, they treat colon cancer patients with highly expensive, toxic chemo mixtures when the most effective drug is available OTC for a few cents.

The epigenetic effects of aspirin: the modification of histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation in the prevention of colon carcinogenesis in azoxymethane- and dextran sulfate sodium-treated CF-1 mice

"In conclusion, we used an AOM/DSS-induced CAC model to demonstrate the preventive effect of the chronic use of low-dose ASA, suggesting that the in vivo mechanism of ASA appear to involve epigenetic modifications. Specifically, ASA at the dose of 0.02% inhibited the protein expression and activity of HDACs (histone deacetylase), as well as restoring the global H3K27ac level."​
