Aberrant upregulation of ASCL 2 by promoter demethylation promotes the growth and resistance to 5‐fluorouracil of gastric cancer cells
26 Nov 2012
Abstract excerpt
Achaete scute-like 2 (ASCL2), a basic helix-loop-helix transcription factor, plays an essential role in the maintenance of adult intestinal stem cells. However, the function of ASCL2 in gastric cancer (GC) is poorly understood. Therefore, we investigated the roles and regulatory transcription mechanisms of ASCL2 in GC. Gene expression and methylation data analysis showed that ASCL2 was upregulated and...
