## Abstract Loss of p16^INK4a^ protein expression has frequently been related to DNA methylation in association with gene silencing. Although the methylation status of exon1Ξ± for p16^INK4a^ involvement in various cancers has been extensively analyzed, it has been pointed out that some inconsistenci

The GAS1 gene product induces growth arrest through a p53-dependent mechanism. To investigate whether GAS1 is a tumor suppressor gene, we transfected GAS1-negative human tumor cells with GAS1 plasmids and analyzed growth characteristics of stable transfectants. When a constitutively expressing GAS1
## Abstract __O__^6^βmethylguanineβDNA methyltransferase (__MGMT__) is a DNA repair gene which is frequently methylated in colorectal cancer (CRC). However, it remains controversial whether methylation of specific CpG sequences within __MGMT__ promoter leads to loss of its protein expression, and i
## Abstract The TEβ85 osteosarcoma cell line has several of the in vitro properties of malignant cells, including colony formation in agar, but has low extracellular fibrinolytic activity and no capacity to form tumors in ATSβtreated hamsters. Some TEβ85 cell clones (clones 2, 4 and 6) have increas
