Abstract

Background: DOC2B promoter hypermethylation is an early and frequent event in cervical cancer. Results: DOC2B hypermethylation induces transcriptional repression, reactivated by demethylation; ectopic expression increases Ca 2+ flux and inhibits key characteristics of tumorigenesis including proliferation, motility, and invasion. Conclusion: DOC2B gene is epigenetically regulated and inhibits cervical cancer growth. Significance: DNA methylation regulates DOC2B gene expression in cervical cancer.
