Abstract excerpt
DNA methylation plays a key role in the regulation of gene expression, and failure to maintain normal patterns of methylation often contributes to carcinogenesis. We have characterized progressive methylation changes during the promotion stage of carcinogenesis using a SENCAR mouse skin initiation/promotion tumorigenesis model. Mice were initiated with a dermal application of 75 microg dimethylbenz[a]anthracene...
