Abstract:
IFN regulatory factor 8 (IRF8) is both constitutively expressed and IFN-gamma inducible in hematopoietic and nonhematopoietic cells. We have shown that IRF8 expression is silenced by DNA methylation in human colon carcinoma cells, but the molecular mechanism underlying methylation-dependent IRF8 silencing remains elusive. In this study, we observed that IRF8 protein level is inversely correlated with the methylation status of the IRF8 promoter and the metastatic phenotype in human colorectal car...     »
