CpG island hypermethylation in human astrocytomas.
Astrocytomas are common and lethal human brain tumors. We have analyzed the methylation status of over 28,000 CpG islands and 18,000 promoters in normal human brain and in astrocytomas of various grades using the methylated CpG island recovery assay. We identified 6,000 to 7,000 methylated CpG islands in normal human brain. Approximately 5% of the promoter-associated CpG islands in the normal b...
متن کاملHypermethylation of metallothionein-3 CpG island in gastric carcinoma.
The expression of metallothionein (MT)-3 is often markedly reduced in gastric carcinoma (GC). The molecular mechanism of this MT-3 downregulation is unknown. Transcriptional silencing of MT-3 by methylation of CpG island was investigated by nucleotide sequencing and denaturing high performance liquid chromatography (DHPLC) analyses. We found that normal brain tissue and a xenografted GC that ex...
متن کاملGenomic insights into cancer-associated aberrant CpG island hypermethylation
Carcinogenesis is thought to occur through a combination of mutational and epimutational events that disrupt key pathways regulating cellular growth and division. The DNA methylomes of cancer cells can exhibit two striking differences from normal cells; a global reduction of DNA methylation levels and the aberrant hypermethylation of some sequences, particularly CpG islands (CGIs). This aberran...
متن کاملCpG Island Hypermethylation in Gastric Carcinoma and Its Premalignant Lesions
Gastric cancers arise through a multistep process characterized by the progressive accumulation of molecular alterations in which genetic and epigenetic mechanisms have been implicated. Gastric cancer is one of the human malignancies in which aberrant promoter CpG island hypermethylation is frequently found. Helicobacter pylori and Epstein-Barr virus, which are known carcinogens for gastric can...
متن کاملStudy of promoter CpG island hypermethylation of cyclindependent kinase inhibitor gene p21waf1/cip1 on some breast carcinoma cell lines
The p21 belongs to the CIP/KIP family of CDK inhibitors involved in cell cycle arrest at specific stages of the cell cycle progression. DNA methylation is the best studied epigenetic mark that have been evidently associated to chromatin condensation, and repression of gene transcription. The CpG island hypermethylation in promoter region of certain genes occurs in cancer cells and affects tumor...
