Study of promoter CpG island hypermethylation of cyclindependent kinase inhibitor gene p21waf1/cip1 on some breast carcinoma cell lines
The p21 belongs to the CIP/KIP family of CDK inhibitors involved in cell cycle arrest at specific stages of the cell cycle progression. DNA methylation is the best studied epigenetic mark that have been evidently associated to chromatin condensation, and repression of gene transcription. The CpG island hypermethylation in promoter region of certain genes occurs in cancer cells and affects tumor...
متن کاملPreferential isolation of DNA fragments associated with CpG islands.
We describe a procedure for preferential isolation of DNA fragments with G+C-rich portions. Such fragments occur in known genes within or adjacent to CpG islands. Since about 56% of human genes are associated with CpG islands, isolation of these fragments permits detection and probing of many genes within much larger segments of DNA, such as cosmids or yeast artificial chromosomes, which have n...
متن کاملThe isolation of CpG islands from human chromosomal regions 11q13 and Xp22 by segregation of partlymelted molecules.
We isolated fragments containing parts of CpG islands from human chromosomal regions chosen for expected differences in gene density by segregation of partly melted molecules. Restriction fragments of P1 bacteriophage clones covering a region of 11q13 and those of cosmid clones derived from Xp22 were recovered from bands in denaturing gradient gels that were retained following prolonged exposur...
متن کاملAnalyses of methylation status of CpG islands in promoters of miR-9 genes family in human gastric adenocarcinoma
In the recent years deregulation for microRNAs expression pattern have emerged as a possible molecular factor for carcinogenesis. It has been reported that the expression of miR-9 was down-regulated in human gastric adenocarcinoma. To figure out the molecular mechanism of this down regulation, the methylation status in promoters of miR-9 family loci were compared in the human gastric adenocarci...
متن کاملاپیژنتیک سرطان پستان: مقاله مروری
Stable molecular changes during cell division without any change in the sequence of DNA molecules is known as epigenetic. Molecular mechanisms involved in this process, including histone modifications, methylation of DNA, protein complex and RNA antisense. Cancer genome changes happen through a combination of DNA hypermethylation, long-term epigenetic silencing with heterozygosis loss and genom...
