Aberrant DNA Methylation of P16, MGMT, hMLH1 and hMSH2 with MTHFR SNPs in Gastric Cancer

چکیده
Gastric cancer is the second leading cause of cancer worldwide, and almost 800 thousands deaths worldwide every year (IARC, 2008). Almost half of the gastric cancer cases and deaths occur in China, and this cancer ranks the third most common cancer (IARC, 2008). The prognosis of gastric cancer was poor, with 20-30% of 5-year survival rate being attributable to the fact that most cases are diagnosed in an advanced stage. However, early detection of gastric cancer is warranted to improve the survival of this cancer. Infection with H.pylori is a well-established cause of gastric cancer, but variants in various genetic factors also influence the susceptibility of gastric cancer (IARC, 1994). Folate is a water-soluble vitamin and naturally found in green leafy vegetables, cereals and fruits (Aune et al., 2011). It is reported that folate metabolism is associated with risk of gastric cancer, and thus variants of folate metabolizing genes may affect the susceptibility of gastric cancer (Miao et al., 2002; Götze et al., 2007). Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR) is an important enzyme in folate metabolism, and the MTHFR C677Tpolymorphisms are associated with a reduced activity of this protein and risk of gastric cancers (Frosst et al., 1995; Bagley and Selhub, 1998; Neves et al., 2010; Saberi et al., 2012). DNA methylation plays an important role in gene

OBJECTIVE We aimed to explore the association of P16, MGMT and HMLH1 with gastric cancer and their relation with Methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR). METHODS 322 gastric patients who were confirmed with pathological diagnosis were included in our study. Aberrant DNA methylation of P16, MGMT and HMLH1 and polymorphisms of MTHFR C677T and A1298C were detected using PCR-RFLP. RESULTS T...

To explore the role of aberrant hypermethylation of cancer-related genes, such as P16, MGMT, and hMLH1, in the esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) as well as its relation to dietary folate intake and MTHFR C677T polymorphism, we conducted a molecular epidemiologic study in China. One hundred and twenty-five histologically confirmed ESCC patients having undergone surgery in the Yangzhong P...

We aimed to explore the association between aberrant DNA methylation of the O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) and human mutL homolog 1 (hMLH1) genes with gastric cancer. A total of 283 gastric cancer patients who were confirmed by pathological diagnosis were included in our study. Aberrant DNA methylation of MGMT and hMLH1 were detected. The proportions of DNA hypermethylation in ...

The aberrant methylation of CpG islands is a common epigenetic alteration found in cancers. The process contributes to cancer formation through the transcriptional silencing of tumor suppressor genes. CpG island methylation has been observed in aberrant crypt foci (ACF) and adenomas in the colon, implicating it in the earliest aspects of colon cancer formation. In addition, some investigators h...
