背景与目的:抑癌基因Ras相关区域家族1A(Ras association domain family 1A,RASSF1A)启动子及第1外显子区CG位点高甲基化导致该基因沉默与多种恶性肿瘤的发生发展相关。本研究旨在探讨宫颈癌细胞系RASSFIA基因启动子及第1外显子区甲基...背景与目的:抑癌基因Ras相关区域家族1A(Ras association domain family 1A,RASSF1A)启动子及第1外显子区CG位点高甲基化导致该基因沉默与多种恶性肿瘤的发生发展相关。本研究旨在探讨宫颈癌细胞系RASSFIA基因启动子及第1外显子区甲基化状态以及甲基化转移酶抑制剂5-氮杂-2’-脱氧胞苷(5-Aza-2’deoxycytidine,5-Aza-dc)作用对RASSFIA基因表达的影响。方法:采用5μmol/L(低浓度)和10μmol/L(高浓度)的5-Aza-dc作用于HeLa、Caski、HT-3以及C-33A等4种宫颈癌细胞系,分别采用甲基化特异PCR(methylation-specific PCR,MSP)和亚硫酸盐基因组测序法(bisulfite genome sequencing,BGS)检测5-Aza-dc处理前后RASSF1A基因启动子及第1外显子区甲基化状态,RT-PCR检测干预前后RASSF1A基因mRNA的转录表达。结果:HeLa和Caski两种HPV阳性细胞系RASSF1A基因启动子及第1外显子区均呈低甲基化状态,mRNA表达阳性。低浓度和高浓度5-Aza-dc作用后,mRNA表达未见明显改变(F HeLa=3.003,P=0.125;F Caski=0.045,P=0.956)。HT-3和C-33A两种HPV阴性宫颈癌细胞系RASSF1A基因启动子及第1外显子区则表现为高度甲基化状态,mRNA表达受到抑制。低浓度和高浓度5-Aza-dc作用后,HT-3和C-33A细胞系RASSF1A基因启动子及第1外显子区CG位点甲基化程度降低,检测到其mRNA表达,高浓度5-Aza-dc作用组表达水平明显高于低浓度组和细胞对照组(F HT-3=18.002,P=0.03;F C-33A=17.179,P=0.03),LSD-t检验显示差异有统计学意义(P<0.05)。结论:HPV阳性和HPV阴性宫颈癌细胞系中RASSFIA基因启动子及第1外显子区甲基化状态不同;RASSF1A基因启动子及第1外显子区的高甲基化可抑制该基因表达;5-Aza-dc处理可使RASSF1A基因启动子及第1外显子区去甲基化,重新激活基因的表达,这种作用在一定范围内有剂量依赖性。展开更多

A total of 110 primary NSCLCs (non-small cell lung cancers) were recruited in this study to characterize the pattern of 3p21 LOH together with the RASSF1A methylation status and their clinical implication. 3p21 LOH ...A total of 110 primary NSCLCs (non-small cell lung cancers) were recruited in this study to characterize the pattern of 3p21 LOH together with the RASSF1A methylation status and their clinical implication. 3p21 LOH by 8 microsatellite markers, RASSF1A methylation status by methylation-specific PCR (MSPCR) as well as bisulfite genomic sequencing (BGS), and RASSF1A expression level by real-time quantitative PCR was performed. 3p21 LOH is frequent in NSCLC with a mean frequency of (41.2±3.7)%. Significant associations between 3p21 LOH and gender, smoking history, histological type, and tumor size were observed. Cases with LOH have a slightly lower RASSF1A expression than cases without LOH but not statistically significant. Comparison of RASSF1A methylation that resulted from the three analyses shows significant correlations from one another. Higher frequency of methylation was observed in larger tumors and in smokers compared with smaller tumors and non-smokers, respectively. A significant correlation was also observed in extent between methylation and RASSF1A expression, illustrating that epigenetic mechanism could affect gene expression. The significant clinicopathological relations of 3p21 LOH may be of great use for both early detection and therapeutic interventions.展开更多

文摘目的:检测人食管鳞癌(esophageal squamous cell carcinoma,ESCC)组织中Ras相关区域家族7(Ras-association domain family 7,RASSF7)基因的mRNA、蛋白表达情况及其甲基化状态,探究RASSF7在ESCC发生发展中的作用。方法:组织标本取自河北医科大学第四医院2011—2012年间手术切除的69例ESCC原发灶组织及癌旁组织。分别应用RT-PCR及甲基化特异性PCR(methylation specific polymerase chain reaction,MSP)方法检测DNA甲基转移酶抑制剂5-氮杂-2’-脱氧胞苷(5-aza-2’-deoxycitydine,5-Aza-dC)处理前后的4株食管癌细胞系(TE13、T.Tn、YES-2、Ec109)和69例病灶组织及其癌旁组织中RASSF7 mRNA表达水平及甲基化状态,应用免疫组织化学方法检测69例ESCC组织及相应癌旁组织中RASSF7的蛋白表达。结果:RASSF7基因在TE13、T.Tn、YES-2细胞系中表达阳性,在Ec109细胞系中表达缺失;经5-Aza-dC处理后,RASSF7在TE13、T.Tn、YES-2细胞中表达下调,在Ec109细胞中表达阳性。5-Aza-dC处理前后4株食管癌细胞系中均未检测到RASSF7的甲基化。人ESCC组织中RASSF7的mRNA相对表达量(0.63±0.08 vs 0.42±0.20,P<0.01)与蛋白表达阳性率[81.2%(56/69)vs 53.6%(37/69),P<0.01]均显著高于相应癌旁组织,且均与患者的淋巴结转移情况及分化程度有关(P<0.05或P<0.01),与TNM分期、年龄和性别无关(均P>0.05)。ESCC组织和相应癌旁组织中均未检测到RASSF7的甲基化。结论:4株食管癌细胞系、人ESCC组织和癌旁组织中RASSF7基因的表达差异与RASSF7本身甲基化状态无关,ESCC组织中RASSF7的高表达可能参与了ESCC的发生及转移。
