## Abstract ## Background Epigenetic silencing of tumor suppressor genes plays an important role in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) tumorigenesis. In the present study, we explore a novel target gene of epigenetic silencing in NPC, __Myocardin__, which is inactivated by promoter hypermethylation.
## Abstract The retinoblastoma protein‐interacting zinc finger gene, __RIZ1__ (GenBank accession number U17838), is involved in chromatin‐mediated gene expression and is also a target for frameshift mutation in microsatellite‐unstable cancers. Methylation of the __RIZ1__ promoter CpG island has bee
## Abstract T‐cadherin is an atypical cadherin and growing evidence has indicated that T‐cadherin exerts tumor‐suppressive effects on cancers of epithelial cell type and also causes positive effects on tumor angiogenesis. Human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a hypervascular tumor and T‐cadherin
