## Abstract Loss of p16^INK4a^ protein expression has frequently been related to DNA methylation in association with gene silencing. Although the methylation status of exon1α for p16^INK4a^ involvement in various cancers has been extensively analyzed, it has been pointed out that some inconsistenci
## Abstract Aberrant promoter methylation is an important mechanism for gene silencing. In the present study, 50 Barrett's esophagus‐associated esophageal adenocarcinomas (ADC), 50 cardiac ADC and 50 gastric ADC were investigated by means of methylation‐specific real‐time PCR for hypermethylation i
## Abstract Retinoic acid receptor B2 (__RARB2__) is frequently inactivated in cancer. Methylation in the 5′‐untranslated region and first exon is known to play a role; however, few studies have analyzed the detailed methylation pattern of the promoter region. We show that hypo‐ and hypermethylated
## Abstract Allelic imbalance on chromosome arm 22q has been detected in 50–70% of ovarian cancers, suggesting the presence of a tumor‐suppressor gene on this chromosome arm that is involved in ovarian carcinogenesis. Recently, we isolated a candidate tumor‐suppressor gene, __MYO18B__, at 22q12.1,
## Abstract Gap junctional intercellular communication is thought to play an important role in cell differentiation and tissue homeostasis. Gap junctional intercellular communication is mediated by intercellular channels connecting adjacent cells and composed of connexin (Cx) proteins. Until now, a
