Promoter Hypermethylation of the RUNX3 Gene in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma
1 Jan 2007
Abstract excerpt
Alteration in transforming growth factor-beta (TGF-beta) signaling pathway is one of the main causes of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The human runt-related transcription factor 3 (RUNX3), an important component of TGF-beta pathway which is located at 1p36, is commonly deleted in a variety of human cancers, including ESCC. Hypermethylation of RUNX3 promoter was frequently found in gastrointestinal...
