Antimitogenic and chemosensitizing effects of the methylation inhibitor zebularine in ovarian cancer
1 Oct 2005
Abstract excerpt
Deoxycytosine methylation within CpG islands of tumor suppressor genes plays a prominent role in the development and progression of drug-resistant ovarian cancer. Consequently, epigenetic therapies directed toward tumor suppressor demethylation/reexpression could potentially reverse malignant phenotypes and chemosensitize recalcitrant tumors. In this report, we examined the demethylating agent zebularine...
