## Abstract Metallothioneins (MTs) are a group of cysteine‐rich stress response proteins that scavenge reactive oxygen species and heavy metals. Recently, we have shown that MT‐I promoter is methylated and suppressed in some solid and liquid tumors and can be robustly activated following treatment
## Silencing of p16 INK4a by methylation of the CpG islands in the promoter region has been found to be an alternative mechanism of inactivation in several tumors. However, in gastric carcinoma, the relationship between methylation status and the transcriptional silencing of the p16 gene remains t
