Title Suppressor microRNA-145 Is Epigenetically Regulated by Promoter Hypermethylation in Esophageal Squamous Cell Carcinoma.
Journal Anticancer Res
Abstract BACKGROUND/AIM:DNA methylation is a common epigenetic change in cancer. However, microRNA (miRNA) regulation by epigenetic alteration, especially CpG island hypermethylation, remains poorly understood in esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC).
MATERIALS AND METHODS:miRNAs which were up-regulated after de-methylation with 5-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (5-AZA) were analyzed using the Human miFinder 384HC miScript miRNA PCR Array. The DNA methylation level was evaluated by bisulfite-pyrosequencing assay.
RESULTS:In two of the cell lines, 20 miRNAs, including miR-145-5p, were found to be up-regulated by more than three-fold after 5-AZA treatment. The miRNA-145 promoter was significantly more hypermethylated in the cancer tissues than in matched normal adjacent esophageal epithelial mucosa (p=0.0042; paired t-test). Moreover, the miRNA-145-5p expression levels were significantly lower in cancerous tissues (p=0.0024).
CONCLUSION:miRNA-145 expression in ESCC seems to be regulated by hypermethylation of the miRNA-145 promoter region.
