Disease relevance of Fhit

 

High impact information on Fhit

  • Thus, in carcinogen-exposed rat tissues there is an overall association of Fhit expression with regulatory region methylation, and hypermethylation patterns did not vary with carcinogen [3].
  • Treatment of rat cancer cells in vitro with the DNA methyltransferase inhibitor, 5'-Aza-2'deoxycytidine, for 4 d, increased Fhit expression and altered the methylation status [3].
  • We previously observed decreased Fhit expression and Fhit promoter region hypermethylation in rodent tumors induced by various carcinogens, and noted that the 5' regulatory regions in the promoter, exon 1, and intron 1 were differentially methylated, depending on the tissue of origin [3].
  • Fhit gene alterations in hepatocarcinogenesis induced by a choline-deficient L-amino acid-defined diet in rats [4].
