Abstract excerpt
The inactivation of the cyclin-dependent kinase 4 and 6 (CDK4/6) inhibitor p16INK4A may be caused by gene deletion, mutation or promoter hypermethylation. We have previously reported that p16INK4A in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) tissues and cell lines is inactivated predominantly by promoter hypermethylation rather than genomic aberrations. In the present experiments, we have studied the effects of the...
