Hypermethylation-associated Inactivation of the SOCS-1 Gene, a JAK/STAT Inhibitor, in Human Pancreatic Cancers
1 Apr 2004
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: SOCS-1, a JAK-binding protein (SSI-1/SOCS-1/JAB), regulates the JAK/STAT signal transduction pathway that relays signals from various cytokines in the extracellular matrix into the cell. Inactivation of the SOCS-1 gene by methylation has been previously described in hepatocellular carcinomas and multiple myeloma. The purpose of the present work was to analyze the expression of the SOCS-1 gene and...
