Abstract excerpt
ARHI has been identified as a maternally imprinted tumor suppressor gene that maps to chromosome 1p31 and whose expression is markedly down-regulated in breast cancer. To explore possible mechanisms that could silence ARHI expression, we have tested the importance of DNA methylation, histone acetylation and histone methylation in regulating ARHI expression. We found that treatment with CpG demethylating agents...
