Ndrg2 promoter hypermethylation triggered by helicobacter pylori infection correlates with poor patients survival in human gastric carcinoma

چکیده
N-myc downstream regulated gene 2 (Ndrg2) is a candidate suppressor of cancer metastasis. We found that Ndrg2 promoter was frequently hypermethylated in gastric cancer cell lines and in 292 gastric tumor tissues. This resulted in down-regulation of Ndrg2 mRNA and protein. Ndrg2 promoter methylation was associated with H. pylori infection and worse prognosis of gastric cancer patients, which is an independent prognostic factor for the disease-free survival (DFS). We found that H. pylori silenced Ndrg2 by activating the NF-κB pathway and up-regulating DNMT3b, promoting gastric cancer progression. These findings uncover a previously unrecognized role for H. pylori infection in gastric cancer.

متن کاملRole of DNA methylation in the development of diffuse-type gastric cancer.
Cancer cells exhibit two opposing methylation abnormalities: genome-wide hypomethylation and gene promoter hypermethylation. Downregulation of E-cadherin (CDH1) plays a key role in the development of diffuse-type gastric cancer, and DNA methylation is a major cause of the gene's silencing. Hereditary diffuse gastric cancer is caused by germline mutation of CDH1 gene, and DNA methylation frequen...
متن کاملThe relationship between Helicobacter pylori and DNA hypermethylation in gastric cancer
Gastric cancer (GC) is one of the most common types of cancer across the world. GC carcinogenesis demonstrates a multi-step progression with the accumulation of genetic and epigenetic changes. The genetic changes on gene expression, without any change on deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) sequencing, are named as “epigenetic”. DNA methylation is the most commonly studied epigenetic modification in mam...

Helicobacter pylori is a spiral Gram-negative bacterium with a relatively small genome and is known to be the most common human bacterial infection worldwide, infecting about half of the world's population. The bacterium represents one of the most successful human pathogens, inducing severe clinical symptoms only in a small subset of individuals, thus signifying a highly balanced degree of co-e...

Helicobacter pylori infection has been considered to be one of the major factors implicated in etiology of gastric cancer. Aberrant DNA methylation accounts for epigenetic modifications induced by H. pylori. H. pylori-induced hypermethylation has been linked to enhancement of the rates of metastasis and recurrence in gastric cancer patients. H. pylori-induced gene hypermethylation has been know...
