Direct Correlation Between Methylation Status and Expression of the Human O-6-MethyIguanine DNA Methyltransferase Gene
1 Aug 1991
Abstract excerpt
To assess the role of DNA cytosine methylation in the expression of the O-6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) gene, the methylation status of selected CpG-containing dinucleotides in and surrounding the coding regions of the gene were examined and correlated with steady state expression of MGMT mRNA in 13 human cell lines. Additionally, tumor cells which exhibited very high levels of MGMT expression were...
