Aberrant promoter hypermethylation in serum DNA from patients with silicosis.
It is well established that patients with silicosis are at high risk for lung cancer; however, it is difficult to detect lung cancer by chest radiography during follow-up treatment of patients with silicosis because of preexisting diffuse pulmonary shadows. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the usefulness of detection of serum DNA methylation for early detection of lung cancer in silicos...
متن کاملO6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase promoter hypermethylation in colorectal carcinogenesis.
Epigenetic alterations have been reported in colorectal neoplasia which can either complement or in some cases be predisposed to genetic alterations such as K-ras mutations. We examined the promoter methylation status of the CDKN2A and O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) genes, after sodium bisulfite conversion and DNA amplification with methylation specific PCR. Moreover, we searched...
متن کاملPromoter DNA Hypermethylation and Gene Repression in Undifferentiated Arabidopsis Cells
Maintaining and acquiring the pluripotent cell state in plants is critical to tissue regeneration and vegetative multiplication. Histone-based epigenetic mechanisms are important for regulating this undifferentiated state. Here we report the use of genetic and pharmacological experimental approaches to show that Arabidopsis cell suspensions and calluses specifically repress some genes as a resu...
متن کاملp14ARF promoter hypermethylation in plasma DNA as an indicator of disease recurrence in bladder cancer patients.
PURPOSE Several genes are reported to be implicated in bladder carcinogenesis, including p53, p16INK4a, pRb, erbB-2, Cyclin D1, H-ras, EGFR, and c-myc. Gene alterations in plasma DNA identical to those observed within the tumor have been detected in various types of neoplasia. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN We analyzed loss of heterozygosity in six microsatellite markers (D17S695, D17S654, D13S310, TH2,...
متن کاملPromoter hypermethylation in prostate cancer.
BACKGROUND The prostate gland is the most common site of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer mortality in American men. It is well known that epigenetic alterations such as DNA methylation within the regulatory (promoter) regions of genes are associated with transcriptional silencing in cancer. Promoter hypermethylation of critical pathway genes could be potential biomarkers and thera...
