From: Identification of 5 novel genes methylated in breast and other epithelial cancers
Methylation analysis of DBC1. (a) The region analysed by CoBRA and sequencing is shown with CpG dinucleotides numbered and shown in bold and BstUI restriction sites underlined. The position of CoBRA primers is also shown, covering the region between +743 and +245 with respect to the transcription start site. (b) CoBRA results are shown with undigested (U) PCR product next to digested (D) PCR product for breast cancer cell lines and normal breast. (c) CoBRA results for breast tumour normal pairs. (d) DBC1 expression in normal breast tissue and re-expression in methylated breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 following the addition of 5-aza-2'deoxycitidine is shown.
