The Chemokine Receptor CXCR4 is Regulated by DNA Methylation in Pancreatic Cancer
1 Jan 2005
Abstract excerpt
Despite the biological and clinical importance of the interaction between the chemokine receptor CXCR4 and its ligand CXCL12 (SDF-1alpha) in human cancers, little is known about transcriptional regulation of the CXCR4 gene. Although aberrant hypermethylation in cancer has been described typically in genes with tumor-suppressor properties, this epigenetic alteration has also been observed to affect potential...
