Hypermethylation of the TGF-β target, ABCA1 is associated with poor prognosis in ovarian cancer patients
13 Jan 2015
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: The dysregulation of transforming growth factor-β (TGF-β) signaling plays a crucial role in ovarian carcinogenesis and in maintaining cancer stem cell properties. Classified as a member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family, ABCA1 was previously identified by methylated DNA immunoprecipitation microarray (mDIP-Chip) to be methylated in ovarian cancer cell lines, A2780 and CP70. By microarray, it...
