CpG Hypermethylation of MDR1 Gene Contributes to the Pathogenesis and Progression of Human Prostate Cancer
1 Sept 2004
Abstract excerpt
Multidrug resistance 1 (MDR1) gene encodes for P-glycoprotein (P-gp), a Mr 170,000 transmembrane calcium-dependent efflux pump that is inactivated in prostate cancer. We hypothesize that inactivation of the MDR1 gene through CpG methylation contributes to the pathogenesis and progression of prostate cancer. To test this hypothesis, CpG methylation status of the MDR1 promoter and its correlation with...
