Likewise, in human skin cancer cells (A431) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC 13) cells, EGCG could reactivate p16INK4a and Cip1/p21, impacting not only on DNA methylation and DNMT activity, but also on histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity and acetylated histones [190]. The gene discussed is CDKN1A; the disease is squamous cell carcinoma.
