Epigenetic Repression of DNA Mismatch Repair by Inflammation and Hypoxia in Inflammatory Bowel Disease–Associated Colorectal Cancer
1 Aug 2009
Abstract excerpt
Sporadic human mismatch repair (MMR)-deficient colorectal cancers account for approximately 12.5% of all cases of colorectal cancer. MMR-deficient colorectal cancers are classically characterized by right-sided location, multifocality, mucinous histology, and lymphocytic infiltration. However, tumors in germ-line MMR-deficient mouse models lack these histopathologic features. Mice lacking the heterotrimeric G...
