Deoxyribonucleic Acid Methyltransferase 3B Promotes Epigenetic Silencing through Histone 3 Chromatin Modifications in Pituitary Cells
11 Jun 2008
Abstract excerpt
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: Epigenetic dysregulation is implicated in pituitary neoplasia as the cause of silencing of several tumor suppressor genes. However, the upstream mediators of such events remain unknown. DESIGN: We examined the three members of the DNA methyltransferase (DNMT) enzyme family in normal and neoplastic human and mouse pituitary cells. SETTING: This study was performed at a university-affiliated...
