PURPOSE Early events in colorectal tumorigenesis include mutation of the adenomatous polyposis coli (APC) gene and epigenetic hypermethylation with transcriptional silencing of the O(6)-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), human mut L homologue 1 (hMLH1), and P16/CDKN2A genes. Epigenetic alterations affect genetic events: Loss of MGMT via hypermethylation reportedly predisposes to guanin...
A CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP) is displayed by a distinct subset of colorectal cancers with a high frequency of DNA hypermethylation in a specific group of CpG islands. Recent studies have shown that an activating mutation of BRAF (BRAF(V600E)) is tightly associated with CIMP, raising the question of whether BRAF(V600E) plays a causal role in the development of CIMP or whether CIMP pr...
PURPOSE To validate a panel of methylation-based salivary rinse biomarkers (P16, CCNA1, DCC, TIMP3, MGMT, DAPK, and MINT31) previously shown to be independently associated with poor overall survival and local recurrence in a larger, separate cohort of patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN One hundred ninety-seven patients were included. All pretreatm...
FHIT is a bona fide tumor-suppressor gene and its loss contributes to tumorigenesis of epithelial cancers including breast cancer (BC). However, the association and clinicopathological significance between FHIT promoter hypermethylation and BC remains unclear. The purpose of this study is to conduct a meta-analysis and literature review to investigate the clinicopathological significance of FHI...
There are several molecular pathways of colorectal cancer. At least four separate pathways of colorectal cancer exist: (A) adenomatous polyposis coli pathway in which B cateni-T cell factor-MYC factors are implicated (APC-B catenin-Tcf-MYC) in adenoma carcinoma sequence, (B) hereditary non-polyposis colorectal cancer pathway (HNPCC) characterized by loss of DNA mismatch repair by inherited or a...
MAL promoter hypermethylation was examined in 260 human esophageal specimens using real-time quantitative methylation-specific PCR (qMSP). MAL hypermethylation showed highly discriminative ROC curve profiles which clearly distinguished esophageal adenocarcinomas (EAC) from both esophageal squamous cell carcinomas (ESCC) and normal esophagus (NE). Both MAL methylation frequency and normalized me...
Basal-like breast cancers frequently express aberrant DNA hypermethylation associated with concurrent silencing of specific genes secondary to DNMT3b overexpression and DNMT hyperactivity. DNMT3b is known to be post-transcriptionally regulated by microRNAs. The objective of the current study was to determine the role of microRNA dysregulation in the molecular mechanism governing DNMT3b overexpr...
A requirement for DICER to maintain full promoter CpG island hypermethylation in human cancer cells.
Promoter hypermethylation is a prevalent phenomenon, found in virtually all cancer types studied thus far, and accounts for tumor suppressor gene silencing in the absence of genetic mutations. The mechanism behind the establishment and maintenance of such aberrant hypermethylation has been under intense study. Here, we have uncovered a link between aberrant gene silencing associated with promot...
