Abstract excerpt
The gene product of spleen tyrosine kinase (SYK) has been implicated in the suppression of breast cancer invasion. We previously reported that SYK expression is lost in a subset of breast cancer; primarily by methylation-mediated gene silencing. In our study, we explored the possibility of using a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor, 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (AZA), to suppress breast cancer cell invasion by restoring...
