The methylation of DNA is an epigenetic modification that can play an important role in the control of gene expression in mammalian cells. The enzyme involved in this process is DNA methyltransferase, which catalyzes the transfer of a methyl group from S-adenosyl-methionine to cytosine residues to f
Carcinoma of the breast is a leading hormone-dependent malignancy, resulting in a high rate of morbidity and mortality. During the complex multi-step process of tumor promotion, this common cancer is initiated as hormone-responsive (HR), non-metastatic cancer, followed by a gradual transition into a
The p16 (CDKN2/MTS-1/INK4A) tumor-suppressor gene is frequently inactivated by DNA methylation in lung carcinomas. To clarify whether background anthracosis may play a role in DNA methylation and inactivation of the p16 gene, we examined DNA methylation of the p16-promoter region by methylation-spec
