Abstract excerpt
The mechanisms underlying ectopic methylation of CpG islands in neoplastic cells are poorly understood. One determinant may be the increased expression of DNA methyltransferase (DNA MTase) observed frequently in neoplastic cells. To evaluate the role of DNA MTase overexpression in aberrant CpG island methylation, we assessed methylation of fibroblast-derived CpG islands in human diploid fibroblast x fibrosarcoma...
