چکیده

Background: Aberrant DNA methylation of the promoter region is one of the most epigenetic changes in numerous cancers. DNA methyltransferase inhibitors (DNMTIs) can revert DNA hypermethylation in tumor suppressor genes (TSGs). The present study was designed to investigate the effect of 5-fluoro-2′-deoxycytidine (FdCyd) on p16INK4a, p14ARF, p15INK4b, and DNA methyltransferase ...
