Dong and co-workers also previously showed promoter methylation in 51% of CC [ 13 ] . DAPK is a positive mediator of the programmed cell death induced by gamma-interferon [ 21 ] . Loss of DAPK expression has been shown to occur in a number of human malignancies, primarily by promoter hypermethylation [ 11 ] . It has also been shown that loss of DAPK gene expression was associated with aggressive and metastatic phenotype in many tumor types [ 22 ] . In the present study, in addition to showing high frequency of promoter methylation of DAPK gene, we found a complete lack of expression in two of the methylated cell lines and four of 6 unmethylated cell lines.
The SW756 cell line with methylation and one of the two unmethylated cell lines showed reactivated expression upon treatment with 5-Aza-2' deoxycytidine or in combination with n-butyrate, but not with n-butyrate alone.
RARB gene showed either complete absence of or down regulated expression in all cell lines (6 methylated and 2 unmethylated).

The unmethylated cell lines showed normal expression and the treatment had no effect on expression.
