Pharmacological Inhibition of DNA Methylation Induces Proinvasive and Prometastatic Genes In Vitro and In Vivo
The mechanism of action of DNA methylation inhibitor 5-aza-2′-deoxycytidine (5-aza-CdR), a potential anticancer agent is believed to be activated by the demethylation of tumor suppressor genes. We tested here the hypothesis that demethylating agents also demethylate and activate genes involved in i...
