O6-Methylguanine-DNA Methyltransferase and ATP-Binding Cassette Membrane Transporter G2 Promotor Methylation: Can Predict the Response to Chemotherapy in Advanced Breast Cancer?
Background: ATP-binding cassette membrane transporter G2 (ABCG2) gene is one of transporter family and well characterized for their association with chemoresistance. Promoter methylation is a mechanism for regulation of gene expression. O6-Methyl guanine DNA methyl transferase (MGMT) gene plays a fundamental role in DNA repair. MGMT has the ability to remove alkyl adducts from DNA at the O6 pos...
متن کاملThe association of death-associated protein kinase hypermethylation with early recurrence in superficial bladder cancers.
Mechanisms for bladder carcinogenesis and the development of recurrentbladder cancer remain unclear. Aberrant methylation of the 5' CpG island is thought to play an important role in the inactivation of the tumor suppressor genes in cancer. To study whether specific or bulk hypermethylation predicts intrabladder recurrence, we determined the frequency of aberrant promoter hypermethylation of se...
متن کاملHigh quality assessment of DNA methylation in archival tissues from colorectal cancer patients using quantitative high-resolution melting analysis.
High-resolution melting (HRM) analysis is a novel tool for analysis of promoter methylation. The aim of the present study was to establish and validate HRM analysis for detection of promoter methylation on archival formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissues from colorectal cancer patients. We first evaluated HRM assays for O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) and adenomatous polyposis ...
متن کاملGlutathione S-transferase P1 and NADPH quinone oxidoreductase polymorphisms are associated with aberrant promoter methylation of P16(INK4a) and O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase in sputum.
Inactivation of the p16(INK4a) tumor suppressor gene and O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) DNA repair gene by aberrant promoter methylation appears to be an important step in respiratory carcinogenesis after exposure to tobacco smoke and radon progeny. The determinants of aberrant promoter methylation are not well characterized. Polymorphic variants of genes of which the products ...
متن کاملHypermethylation of E-Cadherin and Estro-gen Receptor- Gene Promoter and Its Association with Clinicopathological Features of Breast Cancer in Iranian Patients
Background: Aberrant methylation of cytosine-guanine dinucleotide islands leads to inactivation of tumor suppressor genes in breast cancer. Tumor suppressor genes are unmethylated in normal tissue and often become hypermethylated during tumor formation, leading to gene silencing. We investigated the association between E-cadherin (CDH1) and estrogen receptor-α (ESRα) gene promoter methylation a...
