Clinical significance of Wnt-induced secreted protein-1 (WISP-1/CCN4) in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
BACKGROUND/AIM The expression of Wingless/int-1 (Wnt)-induced secreted protein-1 (WISP-1/CCN4), a member of the Cyr61-CTGF-Nov (CCN) family, has been examined in several types of cancer. However, the correlation between the WISP-1 expression and the clinical features of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) remain to be elucidated. This study aimed to clarify the expression of WISP-1 protei...
متن کاملAnalysis of SEPT9 Gene Promoter Methylation Status in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
Introduction: The changes in the level of SEPT9 gene promoter methylation can contribute to the formation of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. The aim of this study was to evaluate the level of changes in the level of SEPT9 gene promoter methylation in the esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. Methods: In the present case-control study, we collected 75 paraffin blocks of esophageal cancer tiss...
متن کاملPromoter hypermethylation of RASSF1A in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
PURPOSE The RAS association domain family 1A (RASSF1A) gene, a candidate tumor suppressor gene, is frequently inactivated by hypermethylation of its promoter region in several human cancers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the promoter methylation status of the RASSF1A in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We analyzed the methylation status of RASSF1A promoter by me...
متن کاملQuantitative detection of TIMP-3 promoter hypermethylation and its prognostic significance in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
Tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-3 (TIMP-3) has an inhibitory effect on tumor development, growth and metastasis due to its interaction with matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs). We investigated the prognostic significance of TIMP-3 gene promoter methylation in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). TIMP-3 methylation was analyzed by MethyLight, a quantitative and methylation-specific PCR ...
متن کاملClinical significance of microRNA-34a in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma.
MicroRNA-34a (miR-34a) has been found to be downregulated in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) tissues compared with that in normal tissues (P < 0.05), and miR-34a overexpression increased apoptosis and decreased clonogenic formation. However, the clinical significance and prognostic value of miR-34a in ESCC has not yet been investigated. In total, 111 patients with ESCC diagnosed and t...
