| Research Abstract |
In the current study, to clarify the contribution of epigenetic abnormalities to the human tumorigenesis, we conducted high-throughput analysis of DNA methylation, lysine 27 trimethylation and genetic alterations in human malignancies. Using malignant mesothelioma as a model, we demonstrated a characteristic epigenetic profile of human mesothelioma and uncover multiple distinct epigenetic abnormalities that lead to the silencing of tumor-suppressor genes in mesothelioma and could serve as diagnostic or prognostic targets.
