Promoter methylation of IGFBP-3 and p53 expression in ovarian endometrioid carcinoma
1 Dec 2009
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Insulin-like growth factor binding protein (IGFBP-3) is an antiproliferative, pro-apoptotic and invasion suppressor protein which is transcriptionally regulated by p53. Promoter methylation has been linked to gene silencing and cancer progression. We studied the correlation between IGFBP-3 and p53 expression as well as IGFBP-3 promoter methylation in ovarian endometrioid carcinoma (OEC) by...
