چکیده

Gliomas are the most common type of brain tumor in the central nervous system of adults, and are highly aggressive, resistant to treatment, and prone to recurrence. Brain tumor stem cells (BTSCs) are implicated in tumor initiation and recurrence. Cluster of differentiation (CD)133 is currently the most widely used BTSC marker; however, its role in glioma development and progression is largely unknown. In this study, we evaluated CD133 expression in pairs of primary and recurrent human glioma specimens from 24 patients. We found that recurrent gliomas have aberrantly upregulated CD133 levels. To clarify the mechanism underlying this observation, we assessed CD133 promoter (P)2 methylation status by bisulfite sequencing and found that P2 hypomethylation was associated with the increase in CD133 expression and glioma recurrence. These results suggest that CD133 overexpression in BTSCs due to P2 hypomethylation underlies glioma recurrence, which may provide insight into the mechanism of glioma recurrence and provide a basis for novel therapies for glioma treatment.

Expression of glioma stem cell marker CD133 and O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase is associated with resistance to radiotherapy in gliomas.

In the present study, we investigated the prognostic roles of the O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) gene methylation status, the protein profiles of MGMT, and the glioma stem cell (GSC) marker CD133 in malignant glioma resistance to radiotherapy. The proliferation of glioma cells was assessed using a clonogenic survival assay and flow cytometry. CD133 expression was assessed in SHG-...

Analysis of Methylation Status in Promoter Region of Γ- Globin Gene in Carrier and Affected Β-Thalassemia Patients with High Level of Fetal Hemoglobin in Comparison with Normal Individuals

Introduction: Among the factors that may be associated with the re-expression gamma-globin in adults is the methylation pattern of the promoter region. The study aimed to determine the association between promoter methylation pattern of the gamma-globin gene in the carriers and affected beta-thalassemia individuals and its expression levels. Methods: This study has been done as a case control-...

Recurrent epimutations activate gene body promoters in primary glioblastoma.

Aberrant DNA hypomethylation may play an important role in the growth rate of glioblastoma (GBM), but the functional impact on transcription remains poorly understood. We assayed the GBM methylome with MeDIP-seq and MRE-seq, adjusting for copy number differences, in a small set of non-glioma CpG island methylator phenotype (non-G-CIMP) primary tumors. Recurrent hypomethylated loci were enriched...

Epigenetic silencing of KAZALD1 confers a better prognosis and is associated with malignant transformation/progression in glioma.

In order to more thoroughly analyze aberrant DNA methylation in glioma, we applied a large cohort methylation microarray including 119 glioma samples. Six genes, ADCY1, KAZALD1, KLF4, SLMAP, TETRAN and TP53INP1, were screened out through significance analysis of microarray (SAM), survival Cox-regression and certain other pre-set conditions. We focused on the KAZALD1 oncogene. KAZALD1, also know...

Extensive promoter DNA hypermethylation and hypomethylation is associated with aberrant microRNA expression in chronic lymphocytic leukemia.

Dysregulated microRNA (miRNA) expression contributes to the pathogenesis of hematopoietic malignancies, including chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL). However, an understanding of the mechanisms that cause aberrant miRNA transcriptional control is lacking. In this study, we comprehensively investigated the role and extent of miRNA epigenetic regulation in CLL. Genome-wide profiling conducted on ...
