Selected 52 genes that showed at least 2-fold upregulation in two prostate cancer cell lines.
2Gene names in bold were analyzed by RT-qPCR. Gene name in italic with asterisk indicates gene previously identified and hypermethylated in PCa but not analyzed by us. Gene names in bold italic with asterisk indicate genes previously identified and hypermethylated in PCa and analyzed in this paper.
3Various writing styles indicate the size of CpG island(s): YES, the largest size; yes, the smallest size.
4S: equally expressed in normal and malignant tissue; D: increased expression in normal prostate tissue.
