Hyper-methylation of RIZ1 tumor suppressor gene is involved in the early tumorigenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma.
1 Oct 2008
Abstract excerpt
The retinoblastoma protein-interacting zinc finger gene RIZ1 is a putative tumor suppressor gene, and the inactivation of the RIZ1 is frequently found in tumors through a loss of mRNA expression. In order to understand the role of RIZ1 inactivation in the tumorigenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we detected the RIZ1 promoter methylation status in 39 HCCs using a methylation specific PCR (MSP) method, and...
