Abstract excerpt
DNA methyltransferase I (DNMT1) is the major methyltransferase responsible for methylating DNA and is overexpressed in many cancers. DNMT1 is also a therapeutic target for chemotherapy and chemoprevention. We hypothesized that loss of DNMT1 copy number could result in reduced DNMT1 levels and greater sensitivity to DNMT1 inhibitors. We examined DNMT1 expression in pancreatic cancers by immunohistochemistry and...
