Aberrant Methylation of <b> <i>DPYD</i> </b> Promoter, <b> <i>DPYD</i> </b> Expression, and Cellular Sensitivity to 5-Fluorouracil in Cancer Cells
15 Oct 2004
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), the initial rate-limiting enzyme in the degradation of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU), is known to be a principal factor in clinical responses to the anticancer agent 5-FU, and various reports have clearly demonstrated that DPD activity is closely correlated to mRNA levels. However, the regulatory mechanisms of DPD gene (DPYD) expression remain unclear. In this study, the...
