Increased copy‐number and not DNA hypomethylation causes overexpression of the candidate proto‐oncogene CYP24A1 in colorectal cancer
6 Mar 2013
Abstract excerpt
In colorectal cancer (CRC) the vitamin D catabolizing enzyme 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D 24-hydroxylase (CYP24A1) is overexpressed with a potentially significant, positive impact on the catabolism of 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 (1,25-D3 ). However, the underlying mechanism of CYP24A1 overexpression is poorly understood. In the present study, we investigated possible causes including hypomethylation of the CYP24A1...
