Abstract excerpt
During the pathogenesis of human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), the CpG island encompassing the pi-class glutathione S-transferase gene (GSTP1) becomes hypermethylated. Repression of transcription accompanying CpG island hypermethylation has been proposed to be mediated by methyl-CpG binding domain (MBD) proteins. We report here that inhibition of transcription from hypermethylated GSTP1 promoters in Hep3B HCC...
