Cytoglobin is upregulated by tumour hypoxia and silenced by promoter hypermethylation in head and neck cancer
30 Jun 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Cytoglobin (Cygb) was first described in 2002 as an intracellular globin of unknown function. We have previously shown the downregulation of cytoglobin as a key event in a familial cancer syndrome of the upper aerodigestive tract. METHODS: Cytoglobin expression and promoter methylation were investigated in sporadic head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) using a cross-section of clinical...
