In this task, you are given a passage which has a question and the context. You have to generate an answer to the question based on the information present in the context.

Q: Context: DNA methylation at CpG dinucleotides is modified in tumorigenesis with potential impact on transcriptional activity.', 'We used the Illumina 450 K platform to evaluate DNA methylation patterns of 50 metastatic melanoma tumors, with matched gene expression data.', 'We identified three different methylation groups and validated the groups in independent data from The Cancer Genome Atlas. One group displayed hypermethylation of a developmental promoter set, genome-wide demethylation, increased proliferation and activity of the SWI/SNF complex. A second group had a methylation pattern resembling stromal and leukocyte cells, over-expressed an immune signature and had improved survival rates in metastatic tumors (p < 0.05). A third group had intermediate methylation levels and expressed both proliferative and immune signatures. The methylation groups corresponded to some degree with previously identified gene expression phenotypes.\Question: Are dNA methylation subgroups in melanoma associated with proliferative and immunological processes?

A: Melanoma consists of divergent methylation groups that are distinguished by promoter methylation, proliferation and content of immunological cells.

Q: Context: Enterovirus infections are major etiological factors in myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy. Using an experimental murine model of this disease, previous studies have shown that myocarditis susceptibility depends upon activation of T lymphocytes expressing the gamma delta T cell receptor (TcR), and that only mouse strains which accumulate gamma delta T cells in the myocardium show apoptosis of myocytes or evidence of dilated cardiomyopathy-like disease. The objective of the present studies is to demonstrate that gamma delta T cells directly induce greater Fas-dependent apoptosis of cultured myocytes than T cells expressing the alpha beta TcR.', 'Bl.Tg.E alpha mice were infected for 7 days with coxsackievirus B3 (CVB3). Hearts were removed and were either formalin-fixed, sectioned and stained with hematoxylin and eosin for inflammation, and using TdT-TUNEL for apoptosis, or were minced and collagenase digested for isolation of gamma delta+ and alpha beta+ T cells using immunomagnetic bead separation. Neonatal cultures of cardiac myocytes were isolated from mice less than 2 days old by collagenase and pancreatin digestion, and were either untreated or infected with virus. Levels of Fas (CD95) were measured using FITC-conjugated hamster anti-mouse Fas monoclonal antibody and flow cytometry. Susceptibility of myocytes to Fas-dependent killing was measured by 51Cr-release by labeled myocytes incubated for 4 h on either 3T3-mock or 3T3-FasL transfected cell monolayers. Killing by T cells was also measured in a 4 h 51Cr-release assay. Fas-dependent and perforin-dependent cytotoxicity was determined by specific blocking using either Fas-Fc or concanamycin A.', 'Virally infected myocyte cultures showed significantly enhanced Fas expression compared to uninfected cells, with maximal upregulation of Fas occurring 18-24 h after virus infection. Both infected and uninfected myocytes were selectively killed by FasL-transfected 3T3 cells but not by mock control cells. Approximately 38% of CD3+ lymphocytes isolated from the heart express the gamma delta TcR with the remainder expressing the alpha beta TcR. Both gamma delta+ and alpha beta+ T cells lysed myocyte targets. Blocking studies indicate that gamma delta+ T cells induced predominantly Fas-mediated killing, while alpha beta+ cell produced more perforin-mediated death, although these effectors were capable of Fas-dependent killing as well.\Question: Do t cells expressing the gamma delta T cell receptor induce apoptosis in cardiac myocytes?

A: These studies demonstrate that T cells expressing the gamma delta TcR are more effective mediators of myocyte apoptosis than alpha beta+ T cells in vitro and suggests that these effectors may be primarily responsible for myocardial injury associated with dilated cardiomyopathy-like signs during coxsackievirus B3-induced myocarditis.

Q: Context: To evaluate the expression of CXCR4, its ligand SDF-1, β-catenin and E-cadherin throughout the local tumor microenvironment of prostate cancer.', "A total of 64 prostate cancer specimens, 24 frozen and 40 paraffin-embedded sections, were obtained from patients treated with radical prostatectomy for clinically localized cancer. Real-time RT-PCR was used for mRNA quantification of CXCR4 and SDF-1 in the tumor center (T), tumor front (F) and distant peritumoral tissue (D). Immunohistochemical analysis was used to investigate the expression patterns of CXCR4, E-cadherin and β-catenin. Clinical records of these patients were studied for follow-up data, and the prognostic value of these molecules' expression was statistically assessed.", 'CXCR4 mRNA and protein were significantly increased at the tumor front as compared to distant tissue or tumor center. In comparison, SDF-1 mRNA level gradually increased from the tumor center to the distant peritumoral tissue. High CXCR4 at the tumor front was associated with high Gleason score. Low SDF-1 at the tumor front was associated with locally advanced cancer and disease recurrence. Moreover, high CXCR4 staining at the tumor front and increased cytosolic E-cadherin expression in the same location was associated with locally advanced disease.\Question: Is cXCR4 highly expressed at the tumor front but not in the center of prostate cancers?

A:
CXCR4 seems overexpressed at the tumor front of prostate tumors, where it potentially promotes cell migration toward the SDF-1 centrifugal attracting gradient, as well as epithelial-mesenchymal transition. High CXCR4 and low SDF-1 levels at tumor front were both associated with adverse histological features.
