Epigenetic inactivation ofMCJ (DNAJD1) in malignant paediatric brain tumours
27 Jul 2005
Abstract excerpt
MCJ (DNAJD1) is a recently discovered member of the DNAJ protein family whose expression is controlled epigenetically by methylation of a CpG island located within the 5' transcribed region of its gene. Methylation-dependent transcriptional silencing of MCJ has been observed in ovarian cancers and associated with increased resistance to chemotherapeutic agents; however, its role in other cancer types has not been...
