  Subject Areas on Research

  • 5' CpG island methylation of the FHIT gene is correlated with loss of gene expression in lung and breast cancer. 
  • Aberrant FHIT mRNA transcripts are present in malignant and normal haematopoiesis, but absence of FHIT protein is restricted to leukaemia. 
  • Abnormal Fhit expression in malignant and premalignant lesions of the cervix. 
  • Association between germline variation in the FHIT gene and prostate cancer in Caucasians and African Americans. 
  • Common variants in ACYP2 influence susceptibility to cisplatin-induced hearing loss. 
  • FHIT and FRA3B 3p14.2 allele loss are common in lung cancer and preneoplastic bronchial lesions and are associated with cancer-related FHIT cDNA splicing aberrations. 
  • Genomic FHIT analysis in RER+ and RER- adenocarcinomas of the pancreas. 
  • Heat induces gene amplification in cancer cells. 
  • Implication of mitochondrial involvement in apoptotic activity of fragile histidine triad gene: application of synchronous luminescence spectroscopy. 
  • Loss of Fhit expression in non-small-cell lung cancer: correlation with molecular genetic abnormalities and clinicopathological features. 
  • Microarray sampling-platform fabrication using bubble-jet technology for a biochip system. 
  • Precise localization of the FHIT gene to the common fragile site at 3p14.2 (FRA3B) and characterization of homozygous deletions within FRA3B that affect FHIT transcription in tumor cell lines. 
  • Simultaneous detection of the tumor suppressor FHIT gene and protein using the multi-functional biochip.
