Abstract excerpt
Dysregulation of the cell cycle is important in oncogenesis. We analyzed the potential inactivation of the CIP/KIP family of the cyclin E/CDK/RB pathway by gene promoter hypermethylation in leukemias. The methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP) with primers for methylated (M-MSP) and unmethylated (U-MSP) alleles of the p21, p27, and p57 genes was used to study five leukemic cell lines, 50 acute...
