It is well established that DNA hypermethylation of tumor suppressor and tumor-related genes can occur in cancer cells and that each cancer subtype has specific gene sets that are commonly susceptible to methylation and silencing. Glutathione S-transferase (GSTP1) is one example of a gene that is hypermethylated and inactivated in the majority of prostate cancers. We previously reported that hy...
PURPOSE According to current models of tumorigenesis, the progression of phenotypic changes culminating in overtly malignant carcinoma is driven by genetic and epigenetic alterations. The recognition of an early form of glandular neoplasia termed atypical adenomatous hyperplasia (AAH), a precursor lesion from which lung adenocarcinomas arise, provides an opportunity for characterizing early epi...
Aberrant promoter methylation of RUNX3 has been reported in several tumors including human breast cancer (BC). However, the association between RUNX3 hypermethylation and incidence of BC remains elusive. In this study, a detailed literature search was performed in Medline and Google Scholar for related research publications. Analysis of pooled data were executed. Odds ratios with corresponding ...
WNT7A (wingless-type MMTV integration site family, member 7A) is a known tumor suppressor gene of non-small cell lung carcinomas (NSCLC) and is frequently inactivated due to CpG-island hypermethylation in human cancers. The members of WNT family are involved in cell signaling and play crucial roles in cancer development. In the present work hypermethylation of the WNT7A gene was detected in 66%...
BACKGROUND Hypermethylation of the suppressor of cytokine signaling 3(SOCS3) promoter has been reported to predict a poor prognosis in several cancers including glioblastoma multiforme (GBM). We explored the function of SOCS3 promoter hypermethylation in GBM cohorts, including analysis of the CpG island methylator phenotype (CIMP), when a large number of gene loci are simultaneously hypermethyl...
Functional inactivation of the p16INK4a gene has been reported to be involved in the development of a variety of human malignancies. Recent evidence shows that transcriptional silencing as a consequence of hypermethylation of CpG islands is the predominant mechanism of p16INK4a gene inactivation in sporadic colon cancer. This study sought to identify the significance of p16INK4a methylation in ...
While analyzing the DNA methylome of multiple myeloma (MM), a plasma cell neoplasm, by whole-genome bisulfite sequencing and high-density arrays, we observed a highly heterogeneous pattern globally characterized by regional DNA hypermethylation embedded in extensive hypomethylation. In contrast to the widely reported DNA hypermethylation of promoter-associated CpG islands (CGIs) in cancer, hype...
To identify methylation-mediated silencing of genes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), we surveyed genes induced by treatment with 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-CdR) in six human hepatoma cell lines using cDNA microarray analysis and determined the methylation status of 5' CpG islands by bisulfite DNA sequencing or methylation-specific PCR. Fifty genes exhibited a >5-fold induction in response ...
Twelve to 15% of sporadic colorectal cancers display defective DNA mismatch repair (MMR), manifested as microsatellite instability (MSI). In this group of cancers, promoter hypermethylation of the MMR gene hMLH1 is strongly associated with, and believed to be the cause of, MSI. A subset of colorectal neoplastic lesions arising in inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is also characterized by MSI. We...
PURPOSE Death-associated protein (DAP)-kinase gene is frequently inactivated by promoter hypermethylation in cancer. The aim of this study was to evaluate the promoter methylation status of the DAP-kinase gene in nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN The methylation status was evaluated by methylation-specific PCR (MSP). Thirty-two NPC biopsy specimens, plasma and buffy coat of ...
