Aberrant Methylation in Gastric Cancer Associated with the CpG Island Methylator Phenotype

TL;DR: The methylation status of five newly cloned CpG islands was examined in 56 gastric cancers and it is suggested that CIMP may be one of the major pathways that contribute to tumorigenesis in Gastric cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

p53-inducible wip1 phosphatase mediates a negative feedback regulation of p38 MAPK-p53 signaling in response to UV radiation.

TL;DR: It is reported that a member of the protein phosphatase type 2C family, Wip1, has a role in down‐regulating p38‐p53 signaling during the recovery phase of the damaged cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Contribution of matrilysin (MMP-7) to the metastatic pathway of human colorectal cancers.

TL;DR: Matrilysin showed a correlation with metastasis in a cohort of 83 colorectal cancer patients and marked metastatic potentiation in human coloreCTal cancer xenografts, indicating that it may play a critical role in the metastatic pathway of colorectoral cancers.
Journal ArticleDOI

Frequent hypermethylation of CpG islands and loss of expression of the 14-3-3 sigma gene in human hepatocellular carcinoma.

TL;DR: Hypermethylation and the resulting loss of expression of the 14-3-3 σ gene corresponds to one of the most common abnormalities reported to date in HCC, suggesting their crucial role in the development and/or progression of HCC.
Journal Article

Inactivation of the 14-3-3 σ Gene Is Associated with 5′ CpG Island Hypermethylation in Human Cancers

TL;DR: The findings suggest that 14-3-3sigma is inactivated by aberrant methylation of the 5' region in various human cancers and that it might play an important role in the development of undifferentiated gastric cancers.
