Abstract
En 中文
The locus encoding Ras association domain family member 1 (RASSF1) encodes multiple transcripts with opposing roles in cancer, such as RASSF1A (tumor suppressor), RASSF1C (oncogene), and the lncRNA RASSF1-AS1 (function undefined). Although DNA methylation–mediated repression of RASSF1A expression has been extensively studied in different cancer types, the epigenetic regulation of RASSF1C and RASSF1-AS1 is unclear. We profiled gene expression and promoter DNA methylation of RASSF1A, RASSF1C, and RASSF1-AS1 across 11 tumor cell lines, quantified RASSF1A methylation in lung cancer tissues and plasma by quantitative methylation-specific PCR (qMSP), and integrated single-CpG methylation (pyrosequencing) with in silico transcription factor binding site (TFBS) prediction.
