Loss of UHRF1, a protein critical for DNA methylation, resulted in embryonic lethality.However,heterozygous mice developed skin cancer, suggesting that DNA methylation affects tumorigenesis.Using mouse model for UHRF1 deficiency, we investigated possible mechanisms on spontaneous tumorigenesis.Our study revealed novel function for UHRF1 in regulating cellular signaling and cell transformation.
