Human papillomavirus DNA methylation as a potential biomarker for cervical cancer.
Sexually transmitted carcinogenic human papillomavirus (HPV) infections are extraordinarily prevalent worldwide. However, most incident HPV infections clear within a few years, whereas a small minority persists to invasive cancer. Recent studies indicate that detection of methylated viral DNA may distinguish women with cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 2+ (CIN2+) from those with a carcin...
متن کاملAccumulated promoter methylation as a potential biomarker for esophageal cancer
We performed a two-stage molecular epidemiological study to explore DNA methylation profiles for potential biomarkers of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) in a Chinese population. Infinium Methylation 450K BeadChip was used to identify genes with differentially methylated CpG sites. Sixteen candidate genes were validated by sequencing 1160 CpG sites in their promoter regions using the I...
متن کاملThe role of vimentin as a methylation biomarker for early diagnosis of cervical cancer.
Multiple cytosine guanine dinucleotides (CpG island) are found in the VIM promoter region. The levels of VIM promoter methylation and VIM gene expression were investigated in 7 cervical cancer cell lines and 50 human tissue samples with a distinctive degree of malignant trans-formation. While multiple CpG sites in the VIM promoter were highly methylated in CIN III and invasive carcinoma cells, ...
متن کاملThe role of hLHX6-HMR as a methylation biomarker for early diagnosis of cervical cancer.
The homo sapiens LIM homeobox domain LHX6 gene, hLHX6, is a putative transcription regulator with homeo-domain. Multiple cytosine guanine dinucleotides (CpG island) are found in the genomic sequences between exon 4a and exon 5 of the gene encoding hLHX6s (alternative short iso-form of hLHX6 gene). This specific CpG island, hLHX6-HMR, is found frequently hypermethylated in 7 cervical cancer cell...
متن کاملAberrant crypts as a biomarker for colon cancer: evaluation of potential chemopreventive agents in the rat.
We assessed the effects of 41 potential chemopreventive agents in the F344 rat using the inhibition of carcinogen-induced aberrant crypt foci (ACF) in the colon as the measure of efficacy. ACF were induced by the carcinogen azoxymethane in F344 rats by two sequential weekly injections at a dose of 15 mg/kg. Two weeks after the last azoxymethane injection, animals were evaluated for the number o...
