Background: By using array comparative genomic hybridization (CGH), the increased copy number of CYP24 (which encodes vitamin D 24-hydroxylase) at 20q13.2 was previously reported, leading to the identification of CYP24 as a candidate oncogene in breast cancer. CYP24 leads to abrogate growth control mediated by vitamin D.Materials and methods: We examined CYP24 expression as well as VDR (vitamin D receptor) gene expression in 42 esophageal cancer cases using semi-quantitative RT-PCR assay. We induced CYP24 in seven esophageal cancer cell lines using 25-hydroxyvitamin D-3 [25(OH)D-3] and compared cell growth rate, measured using the 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-y)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay system.Results: The overall survival rate was significantly higher in 25 cases of lower CYP24 expression than 17 cases of higher CYP24 expression (P
