A key step during onset of most cases of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) is the loss of the tumor suppressor p16 (best known as p16), commonly due to promoter hypermethylation. We recently reported a novel regulatory pathway involving E6-associated protein and cell division control protein 6, which provides a methylation-independent mechanism for p16 silencing in patients with a particularly aggressive form of NSCLC.
在大多数非小细胞肺癌(NSCLC)病例发病过程中的一个关键步骤是肿瘤抑制因子p16(最为人所知的是p16)的缺失,这通常是由于启动子高甲基化所致。我们最近报道了一条涉及E6相关蛋白和细胞分裂控制蛋白6的新型调控途径,该途径为一种特别侵袭性形式的NSCLC患者的p16沉默提供了一种不依赖甲基化的机制。
