Abstract excerpt
Runt-related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3) has been recognized as a tumor suppressor gene in gastric cancer because its expression level was reduced or disappeared due to epigenetic changes. To evaluate the usefulness of the RUNX3 gene as a biomarker of lung cancer, we have analyzed the expression of the RUNX3 gene in 15 lung cancer cell lines by real-time reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction...
