Galanin Has Tumor Suppressor Activity and Is Frequently Inactivated by Aberrant Promoter Methylation in Head and Neck Cancer
1 Jun 2013
Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: There is accumulating evidence that galanin receptors (GALRs) may be tumor suppressors in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC). Promoter methylation status and gene expression were assessed in a large panel of primary tumors, based on the hypothesis that CpG hypermethylation might silence the galanin gene. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN: Galanin expression was examined using reverse...
