Abstract:

Background: VHL (von Hippel-Lindau), Runx-3 (Runt-related transcription factor 3), E-cadherin (Epithelial cadherin), P15 (INK4a, cyclin dependent kinase inhibitor), and P16 (INK4b) genes are essential in hematopoiesis. The aim of this study was to explore the correlation between gene expression and promoter methylation in CD34+ stem cells before and after differentiation to erythroid lineage. Materials and Methods: CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells were separated from umbilical cord blood using MidiMacs (positive selection) system. Expanded CD34+ stem cells were differentiated into erythroid lineage with human recombinant erythropoietin (EPO). DNA extraction was done by QIAamp DNA Mini Kit. RNA was extracted using RNase Mini plus Kit. MSP (Methylation specific PCR) technique was done for methylation assay. Methylation status and expression assay was done for VHL, Runx-3, E-cadherin, P15, and P16 genes  on both CD34+ stem cells and differentiated erythroid cells. Results: The results showed that, before differentiation, P15 had comparative methylation pattern and average expression and it remained unchanged after differentiation (p=0.01). concerning P16, results revealed no methylation pattern and complete expression in absence of EPO and with EPO it changed to comparative status (p=0.01). E-cad and Runx-3 genes had relative methylation pattern and fully expression before and after differentiation but their expression after that, was increased and decreased  Respectively (p=0.04). VHL gene had no significant methylation status before or after differentiation and its expression was complete (p=0.01). Conclusion: The obtained results indicated that promoter methylation of P15, P16, VHL, Runx3 and E-cad was one of the definitive expression control mechanism of these genes.

Gene Expression Status and Methylation Pattern in Promoter of P15INK4b and P16INK4a in Cord Blood CD34+ Stem Cells

  Objective(s): Stem cell differentiation into different cell lineages depends upon several factors, cell cycle control elements and intracellular signaling elements, including P15INK4b and P16INK4a genes. Epigenetics may be regarded as a control mechanism which is affected by these factors with respect to their promoter structure.   Materials and Methods: The CD34 + cord blood s...
