5-aza treatment of breast cancer and non-tumorigenic breast cells
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: CpG hypermethylation in gene promoters is a frequent mechanism of tumor suppressor gene silencing in various types of cancers. 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (AZA) is a DNA demethylating and anti-cancer agent resulting in induction of genes suppressed via DNA hypermethylation. Using microarray expression profiling of AZA or DMSO treated and untreated breast cancer (MCF7 and MDA-MB-231) and non-tumorigenic breast (NTB) cells, we aim to identify candidate genes that are downregulated via promoter hypermethylation in breast cancer.
