Evaluation of GATA-4 and GATA-5 methylation profiles in human pancreatic cancers indicate promoter methylation patterns distinct from other human tumor types
1 Oct 2007
Abstract excerpt
The GATA-4 and GATA-5 transcription factors are increasingly recognized as playing a role in carcinogenesis of human tumors derived of endodermal and mesodermal origin. The pancreas is derived from endodermal tissues suggesting GATA-4 and GATA-5 gene methylation may play a critical role in the biology of human pancreatic cancer as well. We investigated GATA-4 and -5 by methylation-specific PCR (MSP) in normal and...
