The epigenetic silencing of LIMS2 in gastric cancer and its inhibitory effect on cell migration.

Recent finding has shown that LIMS2 (also known as PINCH2) functions as a natural regulator of the LIMS1-ILK-parvin complex formation and is associated with cell spreading and migration via integrins at focal adhesions. Here, we report for the first time the epigenetic silencing of LIMS2 in gastric tumors. Downregulation of LIMS2 was detected in 91% (10 of 11) of gastric cancer cell lines by real-time quantitative RT-PCR and 80% (8 of 10) of the LIMS2-downregulated cell lines were associated with CpG island hypermethylation at a 5'-upstream region of LIMS2.
