DNA methylation associated with polycomb repression in retinoic acid receptor β silencing
8 Jan 2013
Abstract excerpt
Retinoic acid receptor β 2 ( RAR β 2 ) is a tumor suppressor gene whose loss of expression is recurrent in prostate cancers. Here we studied the epigenetic mechanisms leading to its stable silencing. First, we characterized all RAR β isoforms in 6 human tumor cell lines (prostate DU145, LNCaP, PC3, lung A549, breast Hs578T, and colon HCT116) by RT‐PCR and Western blot. We excluded loss of heterozygosity (2D‐FISH)...
