The C/EBPδ tumor suppressor is silenced by hypermethylation in acute myeloid leukemia
18 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
Aberrant DNA methylation is the most frequent molecular alteration in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). To identify methylation-silenced genes in AML, we performed microarray analyses in U937 cells exposed to the demethylating agent 5-aza-deoxy-cytidine. Overall, 274 transcripts were significantly induced. Interestingly, C/EBPdelta expression was significantly induced (more than 10-fold) by demethylation whereas...
