Analysis of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor expression and methylation patterns in human prostate cancers
15 May 2000
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Downregulation of genes which negatively control cell cycle progression represents a possible mechanism for prostate tumorigenesis. We examined the expression levels of the p16, p15, p14, and retinoblastoma-susceptibility (RB) genes in primary prostate cancers and human prostate cancer cell lines, and correlated this with the DNA methylation levels of two loci in p16. METHODS: The mRNA levels of p16,...
