Methylation of the TWIST1 Promoter, TWIST1 mRNA Levels, and Immunohistochemical Expression of TWIST1 in Breast Cancer
1 Dec 2008
Abstract excerpt
TWIST1, an antiapoptotic and prometastatic transcription factor, is overexpressed in many epithelial cancers including breast. Only little is known regarding the regulation of TWIST1 in these cancers. Recently, an increase in the TWIST1 promoter methylation has been shown in breast cancers. To correlate the percentage of TWIST1 promoter methylation to the protein levels, we analyzed simultaneously the methylation...
