چکیده
intoduction: acute myeloid leukemia (aml) is a heterogeneous group of hematologic malignancies with abundant changeability in the pathogenesis. dna methylation of cpg islands within the promoters of specific genes may play roles in tumor initiation and progression. secreted frizzled-related proteins (sfrps) are negative regulator of the wnt signaling pathway. in the present study, we examined the methylation status of sfrp1 and sfrp2 genes in patients with aml. methods: isolated dna from peripheral blood of 43 aml patients and 25 healthy subjects as a control group was treated with sodium bisulfite was treated with sodium bisulfite and analyzed by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (msp) with primers specific for methylated and unmethylated promoter sequences of the sfrp1 & -2 genes. we used mann-whitney u-tests to investigate the correlation between sfrp1 and sfrp2 genes hypermethylation and clinical parameters. results: the frequency of aberrant hypermethylation of sfrp1 and sfrp2 genes in patients with aml was determined 30.2% (13/43) and 20.9% (9/43), respectively. in addition, for all subjects in control group, methylation of sfrp1 and sfrp2 genes were negative. patients with m0 subtype of fab-aml had the highest incidence of hypermethylation of sfrp1 (p = 0.028) and sfrp2 (p = 0.004). conclusion: the present study showed that, like many solid tumors, methylation of sfrp genes also occurs in aml. therefore, the methylation of these genes may play a role in the initiation of leukmogenesis.

متن کاملMethylation 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...
متن کاملExpression Profile of Wnt Molecules in Leukemic Cells from Iranian Patients with Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia
Background: Wnt molecules play a key role in growth, proliferation and development of some embryonic and adult organs as well as hematopoietic stem cells. Wnt signaling pathways are aberrantly activated in many tumor types, including solid tumors and hematologic malignancies. Objective: To investigate the expression profile of a large number of Wnt genes in leukemic cells from Iranian patients ...
متن کاملOver-expression of Wilm’s Tumor Gene 1 (WT1) in Iranian Patients with Acute Myeloblastic Leukemia
Background: The Wilm’s tumor gene 1 (WT1) encodes a zinc finger transcription factor that is inactivated in a subset of Wilm’s tumors. It plays a crucial role in growth, proliferation and development of some embryonic and adult organs. WT1 is expressed as a tumor associated antigen (TAA) in various types of solid and hematopoietic malignancies and can be employed as a useful marker for targeted...
متن کاملNovel methylation targets in de novo acute myeloid leukemia with prevalence of chromosome 11 loci.
Aberrant DNA methylation is believed to be important in tumorigenesis by causing either transcriptional inactivation of genes or chromosomal instability. Several laboratories have identified promoter hypermethylation of tumor suppressor genes in acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, these studies do not provide a global assessment of overall methylation changes and do not allow the identificat...
