Aberrant CpG island methylation of the p16INK4a and estrogen receptor genes in rat lung tumors induced by particulate carcinogens
1 Feb 2002
Abstract excerpt
Recent studies by our laboratory indicate that the p16(INK4a) gene is frequently methylated in lung tumors induced by genotoxic carcinogens and that the frequency for methylation of the estrogen receptor alpha (ER) gene varies as a function of carcinogenic exposure. The purpose of the current investigation was to define the role of these two genes in lung tumors induced by the particulate carcinogens carbon black...
