Global Methylation Analysis Identifies PITX2 as an Upstream Regulator of the Androgen Receptor and IGF-I Receptor Genes in Prostate Cancer
11 Apr 2012
Abstract excerpt
The insulin-like growth factor-I (IGF-IR) and androgen (AR) receptors are important players in prostate cancer. Functional interactions between the IGF-I and androgen signaling pathways have crucial roles in the progression of prostate cancer from early to advanced stages. DNA methylation is a major epigenetic alteration affecting gene expression. Hypermethylation of tumor suppressor promoters is a frequent event...
