Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Necdin (NDN) expression is downregulated in telomerase-immortalised normal human urothelial cells. Telomerase-immortalised normal human urothelial cells have no detected genetic alterations. Accordingly, many of the genes whose expression is altered following immortalisation are those for which epigenetic silencing is reported. METHODS: NDN expression was examined in normal tissues and tumour cell...
