Hypermethylation of MEG3 promoter correlates with inactivation of MEG3 and poor prognosis in patients with retinoblastoma
1 Dec 2017
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: In our previous study, we revealed that MEG3 was a tumor suppressor gene in retinoblastoma and inhibited proliferation of retinoblastoma cells by regulating the activity of the Wnt/β-catenin pathway. Here, we further explored the mechanism of MEG3 inactivation in retinoblastoma. METHODS: MSP and qRT-PCR were performed to detect the methylation status of MEG3 promoter and levels of MEG3 expression,...
