Methylation-Associated Silencing of the Heat Shock Protein 47 Gene in Human Neuroblastoma
1 Jul 2004
Abstract excerpt
Hypermethylation of gene promoter CpG islands is a frequent mechanism for gene inactivation in a variety of human cancers, including neuroblastoma (NB). We demonstrated recently that treatment with the demethylating agent 5'-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-dC) significantly inhibited NB growth in vivo. In an effort to identify the genes and biological pathways that are responsible for the impaired NB tumor growth...
