LINE-1 Hypomethylation During Primary Colon Cancer Progression
BACKGROUND Methylation levels of genomic repeats such as long interspersed nucleotide elements (LINE-1) are representative of global methylation status and play an important role in maintenance of genomic stability. The objective of the study was to assess LINE-1 methylation status in colorectal cancer (CRC) in relation to adenomatous and malignant progression, tissue heterogeneity, and TNM-sta...
متن کاملA cohort study of tumoral LINE-1 hypomethylation and prognosis in colon cancer.
Genome-wide DNA hypomethylation plays has an important role in genomic instability and colorectal carcinogenesis. However, the relationship between cellular DNA methylation level and patient outcome remains uncertain. Using 643 colon cancers in two independent prospective cohorts, we quantified DNA methylation in repetitive long interspersed nucleotide element-1 (LINE-1) elements using pyrosequ...
متن کاملLINE-1 hypomethylation in normal colon mucosa is associated with poor survival in Chinese patients with sporadic colon cancer
Genetic and epigenetic pathways are not independent in colorectal cancer (CRC) carcinogenesis. We aimed to determine the influence of various molecular features on Chinese patients' colon cancer-specific survival (CCSS). Various genetic and epigenetic modifications were detected in paired tumor and normal mucosa tissue samples. The prognostic variables regarding patient CCSS were determined. Ov...
متن کاملHypomethylation of the decorin proteoglycan gene in human colon cancer.
We have previously reported that the connective tissue stroma of human colon carcinoma contains elevated amounts of decorin, a small proteoglycan involved in the regulation of matrix formation and cell proliferation. These biochemical changes were correlated with increased mRNA levels and general hypomethylation of the decorin gene in human colon cancer DNA. In this report we use a quantitative...
متن کاملBAGE hypomethylation, a new epigenetic biomarker for colon cancer detection.
Early detection of colorectal cancer is a decisive step in the successful and complete cure of the disease. Epigenetic markers, in particular, those based on aberrant DNA methylation, can be used to diagnose cancer. B melanoma antigens (BAGE) are a family of genes and truncated genes located in the heterochromatic regions of several human chromosomes. Our previous work showed that BAGE loci (i....
