Epigenetic mediated zinc finger protein 671 downregulation promotes cell proliferation and tumorigenicity in nasopharyngeal carcinoma by inhibiting cell cycle arrest

Abstract Background Epigenetic abnormalities play important roles in nasopharyngeal cancer (NPC), however, the epigenetic changes associated with abnormal cell proliferation remain unclear. Methods We detected epigenetic change of ZNF671 in NPC tissues and cell lines by bisulfite pyrosequencing. We...
