“…Studies have shown that high methylation in the FHIT promoter region was closely associated with loss of heterozygosity. The loss of FHIT expression in lung cancer was mainly due to high methylation in its promoter region (16). In the present study, there were statistically significant differences in the methylation status of p16, RASSF1A and FHIT promoters between cancer patients and controls.…”

“…GSTP1 is expressed at the highest level in the lung tissue among all GST isozymes, accounting for 83% of all GST isozymes (15). Therefore, GSTP1 plays an important role in the detoxification of inhaled carcinogens, such as activated polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), benzo(a)pyrene and tobacco carcinogens (16). It has even been suggested to be the most important GST influencing lung cancer risk (17).…”

“…Haroun et al observed that the methylation frequencies of the genes tested in non-small cell lung carcinoma specimens were 53.6% for FHIT . 28 Jeong et al evaluated the methylation of FHIT in 60 BC samples; FHIT methylation was detected in 96.7% and the positive expression rate of FHIT in 87.3% of the patients. 27 Our data and previous studies indicate that FHIT promoter hypermethylation is a useful diagnostic biomarker of BC.…”

“…FHIT promoter hypermethylation is reversible, drug treatment through demethylation may be useful to delay tumorigenesis and progression, as well as improving prognosis. Inhibitors of DNA methylation such as 5-Aza-CdR and FdCyd were applied to human BC cells and induced apoptosis, 16 , 28 and FdCyd is now in clinical trials for the treatment of BC and other solid tumors. 29 31 More specifically, Stewart et al observed that there was a statistically significant increase in expression of FHIT as well as two other tumor suppressor genes, FUS1 and WWOX , in patients with tumor regression following decitabine, which is a demethylating agent.…”
