CpG island methylation of TMS1/ASC and CASP8 genes in cervical cancer
BACKGROUND Gene silencing associated with aberrant methylation of promoter region CpG islands is an acquired epigenetic alteration that serves as an alternative to genetic defects in the inactivation of tumor suppressor and other genes in human cancers. AIMS This study describes the methylation status of TMS1/ASC and CASP8 genes in cervical cancer. We also examined the prevalence of TMS1/ASC ...
متن کاملMethylation profiles of genes utilizing newly developed CpG island methylation microarray on colorectal cancer patients
Aberrant methylation of DNA has been shown to play an important role in a variety of human cancers, developmental disorders and aging. Hence, aberrant methylation patterns in genes can be a molecular marker for such conditions. Therefore, a reliable but uncomplicated method to detect DNA methylation is preferred, not merely for research purposes but for daily clinical practice. To achieve these...
متن کاملIdentification of DNA methylation of SOX9 in cervical cancer using methylated-CpG island recovery assay.
The aim of the present study was to identify novel methylation markers for cervical cancer screening and to test the clinical application of the most promising biomarker in cervical scrapings. Methylated-CpG island recovery assay-based microarray analysis was carried out on a discovery set consisting of cervical cancer tissue and normal cervical t...
متن کاملCpG Island Methylation in Colorectal Cancer: Past, Present and Future
The concept of a CpG island methylator phenotype, or CIMP, quickly became the focus of several colorectal cancer studies describing its clinical and pathological features after its introduction in 1999 by Toyota and colleagues. Further characterization of CIMP in tumors lead to widespread acceptance of the concept, as expressed by Shen and Issa in their 2005 editorial, "CIMP, at last." Since th...
متن کاملOccurrence of HHIP gene CpG island methylation in gastric cancer
The present study aimed to observe the methylation status of the CpG islands at the human hedgehog interacting protein (HHIP) gene in gastric cancer tissues, peritumoral tissues and the AGS cell line, to analyze the association between the methylation status of the CpG islands and the tumorigenesis of gastric cancer. The HHIP mRNA expression in 60 human gastric carcinnoma tissues, peritumoral t...
