Axin gene methylation status correlates with radiosensitivity of lung cancer cells.

Background: We previously reported that Axin1 (Axin) is down-regulated in many cases of lung cancer, and X-ray irradiation increased Axin expression and inhibited lung cancer cells. The mechanisms, however, were not clear.

Methods: Four lung cancer cell lines were used to detect the methylation status of Axin with or without X-ray treatment.
