Promoter methylation of the hMLH1 gene and protein expression of human mutL homolog 1 and human mutS homolog 2 in resected esophageal squamous cell carcinoma [PDF]
Aberrant expression of mismatch repair genes, such as human mutL homolog 1 (hMLH1) and human mutS homolog 2 (hMSH2), are common in some human cancers, and promoter methylation is believed to inactivate expression of hMLH1. We investigated whether promoter methylation is involved in loss of hMLH1 protein and whether aberrant expression of hMLH1 and ...

Human MutY Homolog, a DNA Glycosylase Involved in Base Excision Repair, Physically and Functionally Interacts with Mismatch Repair Proteins Human MutS Homolog 2/Human MutS Homolog 6 [PDF]
Adenines mismatched with guanines or 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-deoxyguanines that arise through DNA replication errors can be repaired by either base excision repair or mismatch repair. The human MutY homolog (hMYH), a DNA glycosylase, removes adenines from these mismatches. Human MutS homologs, hMSH2/hMSH6 (hMutSalpha), bind to the mismatches and initiate the

The outcome of colon cancer patients without lymph node metastasis is heterogeneous. Searching for new prognostic markers is warranted.One hundred twenty stage I-II colon cancer patients who received complete surgical excision during 1995-2004 were selected for this biomarker study.

Tumorigenesis is often caused by somatic mutation or epigenetic changes in genes that regulate aspects of cell death, proliferation and survival. Although the functions of multiple tumor suppressor genes have been well studied in isolation, how these genes cooperate during the progression of a single tumor remains unclear in numerous cases. The present

Expression of PD-L1 in Microsatellite Instability High Tumours: A Retrospective Study [PDF]
Introduction: Microsatellite Instability (MSI) is the hallmark of Lynch syndrome/Constitutional Mismatch Repair Deficiency (CMMRD) and is also found in many sporadic cancers like colorectal cancer, endometrial, gastric, small intestine, urothelial ...

The methylation status of the O6-methylguanine methyltransferase (MGMT) gene promoter has been widely accepted as a prognostic biomarker for treatment with the alkylator, temozolomide (TMZ). In the absence of promoter methylation, the MGMT enzyme removes
