Abstract excerpt
To clarify the involvement of the Rassf1a gene in lung carcinogenesis, we investigated the methylation status in the 5' upstream region of the RAS-association domain family 1, isoform A (Rassf1a) gene in rat lung adenocarcinomas induced by N-nitrosobis(2-hydroxypropyl)amine (BHP). Six-week-old male Wistar rats were given 2000 ppm BHP in their drinking water for 12 wk and maintained without further treatment until...
