Epigenetic silencing of MAL, a putative tumor suppressor gene, can contribute to human epithelium cell carcinoma
22 Nov 2010
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: To identify new and useful candidate biomarkers in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC), we performed a genome-wide survey and found that Myelin and lymphocyte-associated protein (MAL) was a gene that was markedly down-regulated in HNSCC. Hence, we investigated the mechanism of MAL silencing and the effects of MAL on the proliferation, invasion, and apoptotic potential in HNSCC. RESULTS: MAL...
