(a) Re-expression of RASSF1A by treatment with 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine in CNE-2 cell lines at different concentration (0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 μmol/L), and GAPDH was amplified as an internal control. (b) Summary of RASSF1A expression in RASSF1A-methylated and--unmethylated NPC primary tumors. Inactivation of RASSF1A expression was significantly correlated with promoter hypermethylation of RASSF1A (p < 0.05, Mann-Whitney's U test). (c) The methylation status of RASSF1A after the treatment of 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 10 μmol/L of 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine in CNE-2 cells.
