Methylation status of MGMT and SPOCK2 in diffuse large B-cell lymphoma
MGMT (O6-Methylguanine-DNA Methyltransferase) suppresses tumour development by removing alkyl adduct, while SPOCK2 (SPARC/Osteonectin CWCV and Kazal-like domains proteoglycan) abolishes the inhibition of membrane-type matrix metalloproteinases (MT-MMP) which leads to angiogenesis. Hence, MGMT methyl...
