Open AccessThe rs9953490 polymorphism of DAL-1 gene is associated with gastric cancer risk in the Han population in Northeast China
DAL-1 gene was reported to inhibit proliferation, migration, invasion, and epithelial to mesenchymal transition (EMT) of gastric cancer (GC) cells in our previous study. The association between the genomic var...

Open AccessAssociation between sister chromatid exchange and double minute chromosomes in human tumor cells
Double minute chromosomes (DMs) are the cytogenetic hallmark of extra-chromosomal genomic amplification. They can well represent the advanced stage of malignancy. However, the mechanisms of DM generation are s...

Identification of novel subregions of LOH in gastric cancer and analysis of the HIC1 and TOB1 tumor suppressor genes in these subregions
Previously, we identified 3 overlap** regions showing loss of heterozygosity (LOH, R1–R3 from 11 to 30 cM) on chromosome 17 in 45 primary gastric cancers (GCs). The data indicated the presence of tumor suppress...

Open AccessComparison of the inhibitory effects of three transcriptional variants of CDKN2A in human lung cancer cell line A549
The tumor suppressor gene CDKN2A generates at least three different transcriptional variants, each of which is thought to encode a tumor suppressor. However, the inhibitory activities of these variants have not y...
