metallothionein 1G
GeneRIFs (February 2010)
p16INK4A, DAPK1, PTEN and MT1G genes were not frequently methylated in the stage I non-small cell lung cancer in China.
MT1G acts as a tumor suppressor gene in hepatocellular carcinoma
Promoter methylation and differential gene expression of five markers: COL1A2, NPM2, HSPB6, DDIT4L and MT1G were validated by sequencing of bisulfite-modified DNA and real-time reverse transcriptase PCR, respectively.
Using a panel of four genes (AHRR, p16INK4a, MT1G, and CLDN3) resulted in sensitivity and specificity of 50% and 68%, respectively and may have utility for early detection of esophageal squamous dysplasia and early ESCC.
MT1G is hypermethylated in renal cell carcinoma.
Induction of the hMT1G promoter by VEGF and heavy metals occurs through the utilization of different transcription factors.
Eight MT genes were up-regulated after treatment of T-ALL cells with 0.15 and 1.5 microg/mL of metal ores. Heavy metal binding activity.
Loss of metallothionein 1G function due to hypermethylation of its promoter leads to athogenesis of papillary thyroid carcinoma
