Promoter hypermethylation of p16 and APC in gastrointestinal cancer patients

Abstract: Background/Aims: Cancer is a consequence of the disruption of cellular regulation. Epigenetic is one of the reasons of this disruption. Epigenetic factors play a role in the carcinogenesis by affecting proto-oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes and it is one of the most popular research areas in recent years. DNA methylation, which is an epigenetic mechanism, occurs in the early stages of tumorigenesis. Promoter methylation which causes the silence of tumor suppressor genes have been studied extensively in var… Show more

“…Likewise, CDKN2A is inactivated in more than 80% of BE and EAC tissues ( 3436 ). Similar molecular abnormalities also occur in gastric cardia neoplasia ( 3742 ), supporting the contribution of TP53 and CDKN2A to diverse types of adenocarcinogenesis involving the GEJ region. In agreement with these static observations, our dynamic model establishes that TP53/CDKN2A inactivation directly causes biologic and molecular features consistent with GEJ neoplastic progression.…”
