Aberrant Methylation of the 5' CpG Island of TSLC1 Is Common in Pancreatic Ductal Adenocarcinoma and Is First Manifest in High-Grade PanINs
5 May 2002
Abstract excerpt
The recently identified tumor-suppressor gene TSLC1 on chromosome 11q23.2 is frequently inactivated in human non-small cell lung adenocarcinoma by DNA methylation-associated silencing. The aim of this study was to determine if TSLC1 is inactivated in adenocarcinoma of the pancreas. We analyzed 17 pancreatic cancer cell lines, 91 primary pancreatic adenocarcinoma, 46 pancreatic intraepithelial (PanIN) precursor...
