Frequent Promoter Hypermethylation of the APC and RASSF1A Tumour Suppressors in Parathyroid Tumours
BACKGROUND Parathyroid adenomas constitute the most common entity in primary hyperparathyroidism, and although recent advances have been made regarding the underlying genetic cause of these lesions, very little data on epigenetic alterations in this tumour type exists. In this study, we have determined the levels of promoter methylation regarding the four tumour suppressor genes APC, RASSF1A, p...
متن کاملHigh frequency of promoter hypermethylation of RASSF1A in nasopharyngeal carcinoma.
We have investigated the genetic and epigenetic changes of a newly isolated tumor suppressor gene on 3p21.3, RASSF1A, in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). Four xenografts, four cell lines and 21 primary tumors were examined. Promoter hypermethylation of the 5'CpG island of RASSF1A was detected in 4 of 4 (100%) xenografts, in 3 of 4 (75%) cell lines, and in 14 of 21 (66.7%) primary tumors but not ...
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 کاملAssociation between HIC1 and RASSF1A Promoter Hypermethylation with MTHFD1 G1958A Polymorphism and Clinicopathological Features of Breast Cancer in Iranian Patients
Background: Ras-associated domain family 1 (RASSF1A) and hypermethylated in cancer (HIC1) genes are methylated more frequently in breast cancer. Genetic factors that alter the DNA methylation levels in normal and tumor tissues could therefore influence the susceptibility to this tumor phenotype. Objective: We determined the frequency of aberrant methylation of HIC1 and RASSF1A gene promoters an...
