METHYLATION OF THE E-CADHERIN GENE PROMOTER CORRELATES WITH PROGRESSION OF PROSTATE CANCER
1 Aug 2001
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: We studied the methylation status of E-cadherin gene promoter in prostate cancer and its relationship with E-cadherin inactivation in prostate cancer. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Seven human prostate cell lines and 35 microdissected prostate cancer specimens were analyzed for E-cadherin promoter methylation using the bisulfite genome sequencing technique. E-cadherin messenger (m)RNA expression and protein...
