abstract

results hpv-16 e6 and e7 proteins reduced e-cadherin expression 3.7 and 2.2 times when compared with control cells (p = 0.0221 and p = 0.0461, respectively). this reduction was greater in hpv-16 e6-expressing cells than in hpv-16 e7-expressing cells. although hpv-16 e6 and e7 increased dna methyltransferase 1 expression 2.6 and 3.4 times, respectively (p = 0.0133 and p = 0.0113) when compared with control cells, they was no e-cadherin promoter methylation. materials and methods real-time pcr and western blot were used to determine the effects of hpv-16 e6 and e7 on e-cadherin, dnmt1, dnmt3a, and dnmt3b expression in hct-116 cell line. we also analyzed e-cadherin promoter methylation in cells expressing hpv-16 e6 and e7 oncoproteins by bisulfite sequencing. conclusions unlike other cancer-associated viruses (hbv, hcv, and ebv), reduction in e-cadherin expression in hpv-16 e6- and e7-expressing cells is not due to hypermethylation of the e-cadherin promoter. background cervical cancer is one of the most common cancers observed in women worldwide, and its development is related to e6 and e7 two viral oncoproteins of high-risk human papillomavirus (hpv) types. aberrant expression of e-cadherin, which is associated with epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition (emt), is frequently observed in cervical cancer. objectives the mechanisms underlying e-cadherin suppression in cervical cancer are not clear; therefore, this experimental study from iran was designed to elucidate the relationship of dna methyltransferase expression and e-cadherin promoter methylation with e-cadherin expression in hpv-16 e6- and e7-expressing cells.

Transcriptional Repression of E-Cadherin by Human Papillomavirus Type 16 E6

There is increasing evidence supporting DNA virus regulation of the cell adhesion and tumour suppressor protein, E-cadherin. We previously reported that loss of E-cadherin in human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16-infected epidermis is contributed to by the major viral proto-oncogene E6 and is associated with reduced Langerhans cells density, potentially regulating the immune response. The focus of...

Eradication of Helicobacter pylori infection reverses E-cadherin promoter hypermethylation.

BACKGROUND E-cadherin methylation is important in gastric carcinogenesis. Reversing hypermethylation may halt the carcinogenic process. We have previously reported that Helicobacter pylori infection is associated with E-cadherin methylation in chronic gastritis patients. AIM To examine if eradication of H pylori could reverse E-cadherin methylation. METHODS Patients with dyspepsia and posit...

Hypermethylation of E-cadherin in endometrial carcinoma.

OBJECTIVE Hypermethylation of CpG island is a common mechanism for the inactivation of tumor suppressor genes. Hypermethylation of the E-cadherin promoter region has been rarely studied in endometrial carcinoma of Korean women. The purpose of this study is to investigate methylation status of E-cadherin promoter region in endometrial carcinomas and endometrial hyperplasias, and analyze the corr...
