Abstract excerpt
We previously identified TSLC1, a tumor suppressor gene in human nonsmall cell lung cancer (NSCLC). TSLC1 belongs to immunoglobulin superfamily molecules and is involved in cell adhesion. Loss of TSLC1 expression was strongly correlated with the promoter hypermethylation in several NSCLC cell lines. Here, we examined the methylation status of the TSLC1 gene promoter in 48 primary NSCLC tumors by bisulfite SSCP in...
