DNA Methyltransferase Inhibition Induces the Transcription of the Tumor Suppressor p21
1 Mar 2000
Abstract excerpt
Previous lines of evidence have shown that inhibition of DNA methyltransferase (MeTase) can arrest tumor cell growth; however, the mechanisms involved were not clear. In this manuscript we show that out of 16 known tumor suppressors and cell cycle regulators, the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor p21 is the only tumor suppressor induced in the human lung cancer cell line, A549, following inhibition of DNA MeTase...
