Epigenetic Inactivation Implies Independent Functions for Insulin-like Growth Factor Binding Protein (IGFBP)-Related Protein 1 and the Related IGFBPL1 in Inhibiting Breast Cancer Phenotypes

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: To analyze epigenetic regulation of two related genes, insulin-like growth factor binding protein-related protein 1 (IGFBP-rP1) and IGFBPL1, and its significance as a determinant of clinical phenotypes in human breast cancer. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: We have investigated the expression and epigenetic regulation of IGFBP-rP1 and IGFBPL1 in human breast cancer cell lines and primary and metastatic carcinomas....
