Hypermethylation of GpG islands in the promoter region of p15INK4b in acute promyelocytic leukemia represses p15INK4b expression and correlates with poor prognosis

p15Ink4b Loss of Expression by Promoter Hypermethylation Adds to Leukemogenesis and Confers a Poor Prognosis in Acute Promyelocytic Leukemia Patients

PURPOSE The p15Ink4b gene exerts its influence as an inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinases and is frequently associated with hematological malignancies. Inactivation of this gene through DNA methylation has been found to be the most prevalent epigenetic alteration reported, with a high frequency in all French-American-British subtypes of acute myeloid leukemias, including acute promyelocytic le...

چکیده: سرطان پستان دومین عامل مرگ مرتبط با سرطان در خانم ها است. از آنجا که سرطان پستان یک تومور وابسته به هورمون است، می تواند توسط وضعیت هورمون های استروئیدی شامل استروژن و پروژسترون تنظیم شود. استروژن نقش مهمی در توسعه و پیشرفت سرطان پستان ایفا می کند و تاثیر خود را روی بیان ژن های هدف از طریق گیرنده های استروژن اعمال می کند. اما گروه دیگری از گیرنده های هسته ای به نام گیرنده های مرتبط به ا...

p15INK4b, a Tumor Suppressor in Acute Myeloid Leukemia

p15ink4B and p16ink4 gene inactivation in acute lymphocytic leukemia.

Malignant cells from 52 children with acute lymphocytic leukemia (ALL) were investigated for inactivation of the p15ink4B and p16ink4 genes and other genetic alterations on chromosome 9p21. Homozygous deletions of the p15ink4B and/or the p16ink4 genes were detected in 16 cases and a further 9 cases showed evidence of allelic loss either by hemizygous deletion or loss of heterozygosity (LOH) for...
