Chromatin structure of the EGFR gene suggests a role for intron 1 sequences in its regulation in breast cancer cells
1 Jan 1993
Abstract excerpt
The chromatin structure of the epidermal growth factor receptor gene (EGFR) has been analyzed in several human breast cancer cell lines exhibiting a wide range of EGFR expression. Using DNase I, structural differences were identified in the promoter, first exon, and intron 1 of the EGFR gene that correlate with its expression. Specifically, a DNase I hypersensitive site (DH site) around the exon 1/intron 1...
