   Methylation
   Cancer Name epithelial ovarian cancer
   ICD-0-3 C56.9  
   Methods qPCR, MSP-PCR, Western blot, Luciferase reporter assay etc.
   Sample epithelial ovarian cancer tissues, cell lines (OVCAR3, SKOV3, HP8910, ES-2)
   Expression Pattern down-regulated
   Function Description

In contrast to normal ovarian tissues, the expression of MEG3 was absent or decreased in most EOC tissues as well as in human EOC cell lines, and the promoter of the MEG3 gene was highly methylated in both cancer tissues and cell lines. In addition, ectopic expression of MEG3 suppressed the proliferation and growth of OVCAR3 cells and promoted apoptosis. Finally, MEG3 activated p53 in OVCAR3 cells.

   Pubmed ID 24859196

   Title Promoter hypermethylation influences the suppressive role of maternally expressed 3, a long non-coding RNA, in the development of epithelial ovarian cancer.
