In this study, we show that CD80 mRNA expression, the co-stimulatory molecule found in colon carcinogenesis, inversely correlates with the inducible DNMTs expression in healthy tissue of patients with adenoma or cancer and with the number of genes that have promoters which are often aberrantly hypermethylated at early stages of colorectal tumorigenesis and, as a consequence, thought to contribute to CRC pathogenesis [8]. The gene discussed is CD80; the disease is digestive system neoplasm.
