Abstract:

Background: Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is the most prevalent hematologic malignancy among children. DNA methylation is well known to play a role in the initiation and progression of cancer. This research aimed to characterize the epigenetic inactivation and gene expression of Protocadherin-10 (PCDH10) and Reprimo (RPRM) in pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia, which is associated with epigenetic silencing in human cancers. Materials and Methods: This case-control study included 21 children (mean age, 4.5 years) with new cases of ALL. In addition, 15 patients with ALL were selected following treatment. Samples of bone marrow were extracted from each patient. Prior to and following treatment, 15 paired samples were analyzed. In addition, ALL patients were compared to 18 normal controls in a case study. MS-HRM and quantitative real-time PCR were utilized to examine the DNA-promoter methylation and gene expression of two TSGs from each group. Results: Expression of PCDH10 was significantly up regulated in treatment ALL group compared to the new cases of ALL patients (P= 0.0119), PCDH10 gene expression was higher in the normal control group than in the new cases of ALL (P <0.0001).  RPRM gene, also had a slightly increase in gene expression in treatment ALL group compared to the new cases of ALL (P =0.0412). RPRM gene expression was higher in the normal control group than in the new cases of ALL) P = 0.0372). There was an increase in methylation in both PCDH10 and RPRM genes in new cases of ALL groups compared with treatment ALL group and normal group (P<0.0001 for both genes). Conclusions: New cases of ALL were associated with high DNA methylation level and low gene expression of PCDH10 and RPRM genes.

DNA methylation of tumor suppressor genes in hepatocellular carcinoma

The basic unit of chromatin is a nucleosome included an octamer of the four core histones and 147 base pairs of DNA. Posttranslational histones modifications affect chromatin structure resulting in gene expression changes. CpG islands hypermethylation within the gene promoter regions and the deacetylation of histone proteins are the most common epigenetic modifications. The aberrant patterns of...

Changes in Expression of miR-1297 and PTEN Tumor Suppressor Gene in T-cell Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia

Background and purpose: T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL) is a type of blood malignancy caused by changes in the precursors of T lymphocyte cells. The PTEN gene is one of the most common tumor suppressor genes that mutates in most human cancers, including T-ALL. Therefore, it is important to identify miRNAs that target the PTEN gene in T-ALL. For this purpose, in the present study, mi...

Methylation Status of SOX17 and RUNX3 Genes in Acute Leukemia

Background: Several studies have examined the presence of DNA methylation of CpG islands in leukemia. Methylation of SOX17 and RUNX3 genes may play a role in leukemogenesis through silencing tumor suppressor genes. We investigated the methylation status of SOX17 and RUNX3 genes in patients with acute leukemia.    Methods: In this case-control study, peripheral blood samples from 100 AML and 10...

DNA Methylation and Its Role in the Development of Leukemia

Epigenetic changes play an essential role in cancer pathogenesis. It has been established by next-generation sequencing that more than 50% of the human cancers carry mutations in mechanisms involved in the organization of the chromatin and epigenetic regulations. DNA methylation is among the most common epigenetic changes in leukemia. In contrast to DNA mutations which are passively inherited f...
