Aberrant methylation of p57KIP2 gene in lung and breast cancers and malignant mesotheliomas
1 Nov 2004
Abstract excerpt
The p57KIP2 gene belongs to the Cip/Kip family of CDK inhibitors and has been demonstrated to be a tumor suppressor gene, being inactivated in various types of human cancers. We analyzed the methylation and expression status of p57KIP2 in lung and breast cancers, and in malignant mesotheliomas (MMs). The promoter region of p57KIP2 was determined by methylation-specific PCR (MSP) in samples of lung and breast...
