Upregulation of DNA Methyltransferase–Mediated Gene Silencing, Anchorage-Independent Growth, and Migration of Colon Cancer Cells by Interleukin-6
31 Mar 2010
Abstract excerpt
Inflammatory bowel disease is characterized by chronic inflammation which predisposes to colorectal cancer. The mechanisms by which inflammation promotes tumorigenesis are not fully known. We aimed to investigate the links between colonic inflammation and tumorigenesis via epigenetic gene silencing. Colon cancer specimens were assessed for the expression of DNA methyltransferase-1 (DNMT-1) using...
