| Research Abstract |
The combination of MUC1, MUC2, MUC4 and MUC5AC expression is useful for early detection and evaluation of the potential for malignancy of pancreatobiliary neoplasms. Regarding the mechanism of mucin expression, we have recently reported that expression of the mucin genes is regulated epigenetically in cancer cell lines. A future translational research into mucin gene expression mechanisms, including epigenetics, may provide new tools for early and accurate detection of human pancreatobiliary neoplasms.
