## Abstract Helicaseโlike transcription factor (__HLTF__), a member of the SWI/SNF (mating type switching/sucrose nonfermenting) chromatinโremodeling complex, is recently found to be inactivated by promoter hypermethylation in human colorectal cancer. However, the role of this putative tumor suppre

## Abstract Several studies have shown that Eโcadherin expression is lost during malignant transformation. We hypothesized that CpG methylation in the promoter region may inactivate the expression of the Eโcadherin gene in human bladder cancer. Normal and bladder cancer samples from 51 patients wer
The tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase-3 (TIMP-3), a recently cloned member of TIMP gene family, has been implicated in the negative regulation of tumor cell invasion and tumor growth. Down-regulation of this gene has been shown to occur in a mouse carcinogenesis model, suggesting that it might p
## Abstract O^6^โmethylguanineโDNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is a repair protein that specifically removes promutagenic alkyl groups from the O^6^ position of guanine in DNA. __MGMT__ is transcriptionally silenced by promoter hypermethylation in several human cancers. Methylationโspecific PCR (MSP)
