Reduced expression of DACT2 promotes hepatocellular carcinoma progression: involvement of methylation-mediated gene silencing
BACKGROUND Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is one of the most aggressive malignancies in humans, and its prognosis is generally poor even after surgery. Many advances have been made to understand the pathogenesis of HCC; however, the molecular mechanisms that lead to hepatocarcinogenesis and progression are still not clearly understood. METHODS The expression of DACT2 in specimens from 30 pair...
متن کاملMethylation-mediated silencing of SOCS-1 gene in hepatocellular carcinoma derived from cirrhosis.
PURPOSE Suppressor of cytokine signaling-1 (SOCS-1) is a negative regulator of Janus kinase and signal transducer and activation of transcription pathway. Recently, it was demonstrated that SOCS-1 gene was silenced frequently by methylation of CpG island in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We examined the methylation-mediated silencing of SOCS-1 in tumors of HCC patients. EXPERIMENTAL DE...
متن کاملDNA methylation of tumor suppressor genes in hepatocellular carcinoma
The basic unit of chromatin is a nucleosome included an octamer of the four core histones and 147 base pairs of DNA. Posttranslational histones modifications affect chromatin structure resulting in gene expression changes. CpG islands hypermethylation within the gene promoter regions and the deacetylation of histone proteins are the most common epigenetic modifications. The aberrant patterns of...
متن کاملDNA methylation-mediated silencing of matricellular protein dermatopontin promotes hepatocellular carcinoma metastasis by α3β1 integrin-Rho GTPase signaling
Dermatopontin (DPT), a tyrosine-rich, acidic matricellular protein, has been implicated in several human cancers. However, its biological functions and molecular mechanisms in cancer progression, particular hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), remain unknown. We demonstrated that DPT was significantly down-regulated in 202 HCC clinical samples and that its expression level was closely correlated wit...
متن کاملMethylation-associated silencing of miR-200b facilitates human hepatocellular carcinoma progression by directly targeting BMI1
This study aims to investigate the biological function of microRNA-200b and BMI1, predicted target of microRNA-200b in human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MicroRNA-200b and BMI1 expression in HCC tissues were evaluated by qPCR. A luciferase reporter assay was used to validate BMI1 as a direct target of microRNA-200b. The effect of microRNA-200b on HCC progression was studied in vitro and in v...
