Integrated genomic analysis of colorectal cancer progression reveals activation of EGFR through demethylation of the EREG promoter

Abstract excerpt

Key molecular drivers that underlie transformation of colonic epithelium into colorectal adenocarcinoma (CRC) are well described. However, the mechanisms through which clinically targeted pathways are activated during CRC progression have yet to be elucidated. Here, we used an integrative genomics approach to examine CRC progression. We used laser capture microdissection to isolate colonic crypt cells,...
