Genome‐wide identification of Epstein‐Barr virus–driven promoter methylation profiles of human genes in gastric cancer cells
25 Jul 2012
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Aberrant methylation of tumor-related genes has been reported in Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)-associated gastric cancers. This study sought to profile EBV-driven hypermethylation in EBV-infected cells. METHODS: The EBV-positive AGS gastric cancer cell line (AGS-EBV) and EBV-negative AGS cells were used in this study. DNA methyltransferase-3b (DNMT3b) activity was assessed by EpiQuick activity assay, and...
