Promoter hypermethylation and inactivation of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase in esophageal squamous cell carcinomas and its reactivation in cell lines
1 Mar 2005
Abstract excerpt
The purpose of this study was to characterize the role of DNA hypermethylation in the loss of expression of O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) during the development of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and to investigate its reactivation in cell lines. Samples were collected from Linzhou City of the Henan province in northern China, a high-risk area of this disease. The hypermethylation of...
