Hypermethylation of the Death-Associated Protein (DAP) Kinase Promoter and Aggressiveness in Stage I Non-Small-Cell Lung Cancer
20 Sept 2000
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Death-associated protein (DAP) kinase is a serine/threonine kinase that is important in ligand-induced programmed cell death and plays an important role in lung cancer metastasis in animal models. Hypermethylation of the promoter represses the expression of the DAP kinase gene. Our purpose was to determine whether the hypermethylation status of the DAP kinase promoter influences the prognosis of...
