Open AccessFhit–Fdxr interaction in the mitochondria: modulation of reactive oxygen species generation and apoptosis in cancer cells
Fhit protein is lost in cancers of most, perhaps all, cancer types; when restored, it can induce apoptosis and suppress tumorigenicity, as shown in vitro and in mouse tumor models in vivo. Following protein cr...

Fragile genes as biomarkers: epigenetic control of WWOX and FHIT in lung, breast and bladder cancer
This study aimed to (a) determine if DNA methylation is a mechanism of WWOX (WW domain containing oxidoreductase) and FHIT (fragile histidine triad) inactivation in lung, breast and bladder cancers; (b) examin...

CpG methylation in the Fhit regulatory region: relation to Fhit expression in murine tumors
To determine if: (1) 5′ CpG island methylation is related to Fhit inactivation; (2) there are tumor or carcinogen-specific methylation patterns, we examined 35 CpG sites in the promoter, exon and intron 1 of the ...

Analyzing the FHIT Gene by RT-PCR, Western Blotting, and Immunohistochemistry
FHIT (fragile histidine triad) is a tumor-suppressor gene located at chromosome band 3p14.2. The genomic locus, which is greater than 1 Mb, contains 10 small exons that make up the 1.1-kb FHIT cDNA. The coding re...

Chromosomal localization of four human zinc finger cDNAs
cDNA clones encoding zinc finger motifs were isolated by screening human placenta and T-cell (Peer) cDNA libraries with zinc finger (ZNF) consensus sequences. Unique cDNA clones were mapped in the human genome...
