Overexpression of MBD2 in Glioblastoma Maintains Epigenetic Silencing and Inhibits the Antiangiogenic Function of the Tumor Suppressor Gene <i>BAI1</i>
4 Jul 2011
Abstract excerpt
Brain angiogenesis inhibitor 1 (BAI1) is a putative G protein-coupled receptor with potent antiangiogenic and antitumorigenic properties that is mutated in certain cancers. BAI1 is expressed in normal human brain, but it is frequently silenced in glioblastoma multiforme. In this study, we show that this silencing event is regulated by overexpression of methyl-CpG-binding domain protein 2 (MBD2), a key mediator of...
