"When we categorized a cell line showing aΔC T of more than 15.0 as DCC expression-negative and a cell line with aΔC T of 15.0 or less as DCC expression-positive, only the GCIY cell line could be categorized as DCC expression-positive among the seven gastric cancer cell lines with DCC methylation; this finding was statistically non-significant."

"Primary oral cancer patients with methylated DCC had a significantly reduced survival than those who did not have DCC methylation. xref The presence ofp16 INK4a or DCC methylation in the primary tumor has been shown to be associated with poor outcome. xref , xref , xref Our study supports these findings."

"SSTR1 methylation was significantly correlated with tumor size ( P = 0.037), stage ( P = 0.037), galanin ( P = 0.030), GALR2 methylation ( P = 0.014), TAC1 methylation ( P = 0.023), TAC1R methylation ( P = 0.003), H-cadherin methylation ( P = 0.007), MGMT methylation ( P = 0.001), DAPK methylation ( P = 0.001) and DCC methylation ( P = 0.045) ( xref and xref )."

"When methylation of at least one of Kif1a , DCC , RARB , or NISCH was considered, methylation frequency was smoking-dependent; while none of the light- or non-smoker controls showed plasma DNA methylation, the cumulative smoking dose (pack-years) correlated well with the methylation frequency in cancer-free heavy smokers ( xref )."

"DCC methylation was highly variable, and there were six subjects with notably high mean levels of DCC methylation and corresponding abnormal cytology (of which 1 was atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance, 2 were low grade squamous intraepithelial lesions, 2 were high grade squamous intraepithelial lesions and 1 was atypical glandular cells), indicating that DCC may be another promising marker of abnormal cytology."

"When we categorized gastric cancers with LOH ratios higher than 0 as CIN-positive, 12/17 gastric cancers (71 %) with both DCC methylation and 18q LOH, 13/17 gastric cancers (76 %) with 18q LOH alone, 12/22 gastric cancers (55 %) with DCC methylation alone, and 6/25 cancers (24 %) negative for DCC alterations were categorized as CIN-positive ( P = 0.0025, Pearson’s chi-square test)."

"Deleted in colorectal cancer was validated as a tumor marker in head and neck cancer xref as well as esophageal SCC. xref Deleted in colorectal cancer is present on chromosome 18q, suppresses epithelial cell malignant phenotype, xref and is involved in apoptosis. xref It appeared to be a highly specific assay as remarkably aberrant methylation of DCC promoter was not observed in any of the control plasma samples, with AUC ROC curve to be 0.76 (95% CI: 0.641-0.88, P < ."

"Methylation of DCC was correlated with aggressive phenotype for HNC in a study of 96 tumors with increased rate of bone invasion, invasive growth pattern and reduced survival (p=0.050). ( xref ) Intriguingly, in this study, methylation of p14ARF was associated with a good prognosis (HR =0.30 for methylated tumors p=0.021), perhaps implicating a mechanism similar to the protective effect of p16 methylation in our cohort."

"The LOH ratio calculated for the other seven loci was significantly highest in gastric cancers with both DCC methylation and 18q LOH (mean LOH ratio, 0.44; SD ±0.39) and in cancers with 18q LOH alone (mean LOH ratio, 0.44; SD ±0.34), intermediate in cancers with DCC methylation alone (mean LOH ratio, 0.16; SD ±0.18), and lowest in cancers negative for DCC alterations (mean LOH ratio, 0.05; SD ±0.10; P < 0.0001, Wilcoxon/Kruskal–Wallis test)."

"In the salivary rinse samples collected with brush, smoking status was associated with promoter methylation of TIMP3 ; HPV status was associated with promoter methylation of CCNA1 , DCC , and MGMT ; primary tumor site (Oral cavity) was associated with promoter methylation of CCNA1 , DCC and DAPK ; clinical TNM stage were associated with promoter methylation of P16 , DCC , and MINT31 ; and pathological nodal stage was associated with promoter methylation of P16 and MINT31 ( xref )."

"Interestingly, when we defined DCC and UNC5C methylation at 1 % or more as a continuous variable (i.e., >1.0 % methylation as methylation-positive (methylated) and <1.0 % methylation as methylation-negative (unmethylated)), only UNC5C methylation was significantly associated with the presence of the cagA sequence in normal gastric mucosa (data not shown), suggesting that inflammatory processes associated with H. pylori infection causes aberrant methylation in UNC5C promoter CpGs but not in the DCC promoter."
