Demethylation of the Synuclein γ Gene CpG Island in Primary Gastric Cancers and Gastric Cancer Cell Lines
1 Apr 2004
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Whereas synuclein gamma (SNCG) gene expression is usually highly tissue-specific and restricted to the nervous system, SNCG is expressed in advanced-stage breast and ovarian cancers. When overexpressed, SNCG stimulates cancer cell proliferation and metastasis. It is thought that the molecular mechanism of CpG island demethylation may underlie aberrant SNCG expression. To determine whether aberrant SNCG...
