AIM:To demonstrate the presence and biological activity of human papilloma virus(HPV)in gastric cancer(GAC)tissues.METHODS:The study involved 84 surgically treated patients with gastric adenocarcinoma,regardless of the clinical stage of the disease.The presence of HPV DNA of high oncogenic risk types in formalin-fixed,paraffinembedded tumor samples was determined using quantitative polymerase chain reaction analysis.A stringentprotocol of prevention of cross-and environmental contamination was applied during DNA isolation,and amplification,as well as confirmation of the biological activity of the virus in tumor cells,was implemented.The study utilized the Real-time High Risk HPV test,which detects the DNA of 14 HPV subtypes that are considered to have high oncogenic potential.The overexpression of the p16INK4a protein assessed immunohistochemically was considered confirmation of the HPV infection.RESULTS:Among the 89 patients initially included in the study group,diagnostic results were obtained for84 individuals.In five cases,either the histopathological material was too scant to isolate the necessary amount of DNA,or the isolated DNA was significantly degraded,resulting in the failure of internal control amplification within the predefined number of 35 cycles.Those patients were excluded from further analysis.The amplification of HPV DNA was demonstrated in none of the84 tissue samples;thus,all cases were considered to have a negative DNA status of highly oncogenic HPV subtypes.Immunohistochemical staining provided diagnostic results for all of the examined tissue samples,and excluded the accumulation of the p16INK4a protein in tumor cells,thus confirming the lack of active HPV infection in all of the individuals.CONCLUSION:The study does not confirm the presence or biological activity of HPV in tumor tissues.Thus,the relationship between GAC and HPV infection,in the Central European population seems doubtful.  相似文献

AIM: To explore the mechanism of abnormal Connexin (Cx) 32 and Cx43 expression in the gastric mucosa after Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) infection.METHODS: Biopsy specimens of gastric mucosa in different gastric carcinogenesis stages with H. pylori infection, that is, non-atrophic gastritis (NAG; n = 24), chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG; n = 25), intestinal metaplasia (IM; n = 28), dysplasia (DYS; n = 24), and gastric cancer (GC; n = 30), as well as specimens of normal gastric mucosa without H. pylori infection (NGM; n = 25), were confirmed by endoscopy and pathological examination. Cx32 and Cx43 mRNA expression was detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Cx32 and Cx43 promoter CpG island methylation status was determined by methylation-specific PCR (MSP), bisulfite PCR sequencing (BSP) and MassArray methods.RESULTS: The relative mRNA expression levels in the gastric mucosa of patients with NGM, NAG, CAG, IM, DYS and GC were 0.146 ± 0.011, 0.133 ± 0.026, 0.107 ± 0.035, 0.039 ± 0.032, 0.037 ± 0.01 and 0.03 ± 0.011 for Cx32; and 0.667 ± 0.057, 0.644 ± 0.051, 0.624 ± 0.049, 0.555 ± 0.067, 0.536 ± 0.058 and 0.245 ± 0.121 for Cx43, respectively, which were gradually decreasing and significantly different (GC vs NGM: P < 0.001 for Cx32, P < 0.001 for Cx43). The promoter methylation levels in the gastric mucosa from NGM to GC stages by MSP were 38.8% ± 9.0%, 43.1% ± 9.4%, 56.5% ± 3.1%, 64.4% ± 9.7%, 72.5% ± 4.2% and 79.6% ± 6.8% for Cx32; and 49.0% ± 3.9%, 58.1% ± 5.0%, 66.5% ± 7.9%, 74.0% ± 8.8%, 78.3% ± 3.6% and 88.7% ± 6.2% for Cx43, respectively, which were gradually increasing and significantly different (P = 0.039, P = 0.019). The promoter methylation levels by BSP and MassArray exhibited similar trends. Cx32 and Cx43 mRNA expression was negatively correlated with promoter methylation status and gastric carcinogenesis stages (P < 0.001, P = 0.016).CONCLUSION: Cx32 and Cx43 mRNA expression decreased gradually during H. pylori infection-associated gastric carcinogenesis, and it is associated with hypermethylation of these genes’ promoter.  相似文献

Hypermethylation of TGF-β1 gene promoter in gastric cancer   总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1  
AIM:To examine transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1)promoter methylation in gastric cancer and to determine if Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)or interleukin(IL)-1β could induce TGF-β1 hypermethylation in vitro.METHODS:We examined the frequency and extent of TGF-β1 promoter methylation using methylationspecific PCR in the gastric tissues from 47 gastric cancer patients and 39 non-gastric cancer subjects.H.pylori infection was confirmed by a positive result from either a serological test,histological analysis or C13urea breath test.GES-1 and MKN-45 cells co-cultured with H.pylori or treated with IL-1β for 12,24 and 48 h in vitro tested the effects of H.pylori or IL-1β on TGF-1β.RESULTS:Twenty-four/forty-seven(51%)cases of gastric cancer(GC)tissues showed TGF-β1 promoter methylation,15/47(31.9%)cases of matched noncancerous gastric mucosa tissues from the GC patients,and 11/39(28%)case of the normal gastric mucosa tissues from non-GC subjects showed TGF-β1 promoter methylation(51%vs 28%,P<0.05).Significantly higher levels of methylation of TGF-β1 were found in the tumor tissues than in non-tumor tissues from GC patients(0.24±0.06 vs 0.17±0.04,P<0.05)and normal gastric tissues from non-GC subjects(0.24±0.06 vs 0.15±0.03,P<0.05).TGF-β1 methylation was found in 48.3% of H.pylori-positive gastric mucosal tissues whereas only 23.1% of H.pylori-negative gastric mucosal tissues showed TGF-β1 methylation(48.3%vs 23.1%,P<0.05).IL-1β appeared to induce a dose-dependent methylation of TGF-β1 and the strongest methylation was observed in GES-1 cells treated with 2.5 ng/mL of IL-1β for 48 h.Further studies showed that pre-treatment of GES-1 cells with 20ng/mL IL-1RA for 1 h could partially abolish the effect of IL-1β on TGF-β1 methylation.Infection of GES-1cells by H.pylori was not found to induce significant TGF-β1 promoter methylation.CONCLUSION:Our data revealed that TGF-1 promoter is methylated in GC patients.IL-1β may be an important mediator for H.pylori induced gene methylation during GC  相似文献

AIM:To evaluate the contribution of the G-197A polymorphism in the interleukin-17(IL-17)promoter region to gastric cancer risk in an Iranian population.METHODS:We performed a case control study using samples from 161 individuals with gastric cancer and171 healthy controls.For each individual,the G-197A genotype was determined by restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of polymerase chain reaction-amplified fragments.Statistical analyses were performed to determine whether any demographic or behavioral factors,infection with Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori),or a particular G-197A genotype was associated with gastric cancer risk.RESULTS:We found that the G-197A genotype wassignificantly associated with increased gastric cancer risk(P=0.001).Patients who were homozygous(AA)at position-197 were 2.9 times more likely to develop disease(95%CI:1.56-5.4;P=0.001).Furthermore,logistic regression analysis revealed that the presence of a single A allele increased the risk of gastric cancer up to 1.7-fold(95%CI:1.26-2.369;P=0.001).This association was observed for early stage gastric adenocarcinomas only,and was not linked to H.pylori infection.CONCLUSION:These results suggest that carrying one or more G-197A polymorphisms at position-197 in the IL-17 promoter region significantly increases gastric cancer risk in this patient population.  相似文献

AIM:To evaluate the diagnostic role of serum RASSF1A promoter hypermethylation in gastric and colorectal adenocarcinoma.
METHODS:Methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSPCR) was used to examine the promoter methylation status of the serum RASSF1A gene in 47 gastric adenocarcinoma patients, 45 colorectal adenocarcinoma patients, 60 patients with benign gastrointestinal disease (30 with benign gastric disease and 30 with benign colorectal disease), and 30 healthy donor controls. Apaired study of RASSF1A promoter methylation status in primary tumor, adjacent normal tissue, and postopertive serum were conducted in 25 gastric and colorectal adenocarcinoma patients who later were underwent surgical therapy.
RESULTS:The frequencies of detection of serum RASSF1A promoter hypermethylation in gastric (34.0%) and colorectal (28.9%) adenocarcinoma patients were significantly higher than those in patients with benign gastric (3.3%) or colorectal (6.7%) disease or in healthy donors (0%) (P 〈 0.01). The methylation status of RASSF1A promoter in serum samples was consistent with that in paired primary tumors, and the MSPCR results for RASSF1A promoter methylation status in paired preoperative samples were consistent with those in postoperative serum samples. The serum RASSF1A promoter hypermethylation did not correlate with patient sex, age, tumor differentiation grade, surgical therapy, or serum carcinoembryonic antigen level. Although the serum RASSF1A promoter hypermethylation frequency tended to be higher in patients with distant metastases, there was no correlation between methylation status and metastasis.
CONCLUSION:Aberrant CpG island methylation within the promoter region of RASSF1A is a promising biomarker for gastric and colorectal cancer.  相似文献

AIM:To evaluate the association between Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori) infection and MLH1 and MGMT methylation and its relationship with microsatellite instability(MSI).METHODS:The methylation status of the MLH1 and MGMT promoter region was analysed by methylation specific methylation-polymerase chain reaction(MSPPCR) in gastric biopsy samples from uninfected or H.pylori-infected children(n = 50),from adults with chronic gastritis(n = 97) and from adults with gastric cancer(n = 92).MLH1 and MGMT mRNA expression were measured by real-time PCR and normalised to a constitutive gene(β actin).MSI analysis was performed by screening MSI markers at 4 loci(Bat-25,Bat-26,D17S250 and D2S123) with PCR;PCR products were analysed by single strand conformation polymorphism followed by silver staining.Statistical analyses were performed with either the χ 2 test with Yates continuity correction or Fisher’s exact test,and statistical significance for expression analysis was assessed using an unpaired Student’s t-test.RESULTS:Methylation was not detected in the promoter regions of MLH1 and MGMT in gastric biopsy samples from children,regardless of H.pylori infection status.The MGMT promoter was methylated in 51% of chronic gastritis adult patients and was associated with H.pylori infection(P < 0.05);this region was methylated in 66% of gastric cancer patients,and the difference in the percentage of methylated samples between these patients and those from H.pylori-infected chronic gastritis patients was statistically significant(P < 0.05).MLH1 methylation frequencies among H.pylori-infected and non-infected chronic gastritis adult patients were 13% and 7%,respectively.We observed methylation of the MLH1 promoter(39%) and increased MSI levels(68%) in samples from gastric cancer patients in comparison to samples from H.pylori-infected adult chronic gastritis patients(P < 0.001 and P < 0.01,respectively).The frequency of promoter methylation for both genes was higher in gastric cancer samples than in H.pylori-positiv  相似文献

AIM: To explore potential interactions among Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), CagA status, interleukin (IL)-1B-31 genotypes, and non-cardiac gastric cancer (GC) risk.METHODS: A case-control study of non-cardia GC was performed at 3 hospitals located in Xi’an, China, between September 2008 and July 2010. We included 171 patients with histologically diagnosed primary non-cardia GC and 367 population based controls (matched by sex, age and city of residence). A standardized questionnaire was used to obtain information regarding potential risk factors, including pork consumption. H. pylori CagA status was assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay, and IL-1B-31 genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. Multivariate unconditional logistic regression was used to explore potential interactions among the factors.RESULTS: The CagA appeared to confer an increased risk of GC (OR = 1.81, 95%CI: 1.25-2.61). The main associations with IL-1B-31C allele here were 0.98 (95%CI: 0.59-1.63) for CC vs TT and 0.99 (95%CI: 0.64-1.51) for C Carriers vs TT. However, no associations were observed for CagA or IL-1B-31 genotype status among subjects who reported low pork consumption (P for interaction = 0.11). In contrast, high pork consumption and IL-1B-31C genotypes appeared to synergistically increase GC risk (P for interaction = 0.048) after adjusting for confounding factors, particularly among subjects with CagA (OR = 3.07, 95%CI: 1.17-10.79). We did not observe effect modification of pork consumption by H. pylori CagA status, or between H. pylori CagA status and IL-1B-31 genotypes after adjustment for pork consumption and other factors.CONCLUSION: These interaction relationships among CagA, IL-1B-31 and pork consumption may have implications for development of the preventive strategies for the early detection of non-cardiac GC.  相似文献

The development and progression of gastric cancer involves a number of genetic and epigenetic alterations of tumor suppressor and tumor-related genes. The majority of differentiated carcinomas arise from intestinal metaplastic mucosa and exhibit structurally altered tumor suppressor genes, typified by p53, which is inactivated via the classic two-hit mechanism, i.e. loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and mutation of the remaining allele. LOH at certain chromosomal loci accumulates during tumor progression. Approximately 20% of differentiated carcinomas show evidence of mutator pathway tumorigenesis due to hMLH1 inactivation via hypermethylation of promoter CpG islands, and exhibit high-frequency microsatellite instability. In contrast, undifferentiated carcinomas rarely exhibit structurally altered tumor suppressor genes. For instance, while methylation of E-cadherin is often observed in undifferentiated carcinomas, mutation of this gene is generally associated with the progression from differentiated to undifferentiated carcinomas. Hypermethylation of tumor suppressor and tumor-related genes, including APC, CHFR, DAP-kinase, DCC, E-cadherin, GSTP1, hMLH1, p16, PTEN, RASSF1A, RUNX3, and TSLC1, can be detected in both differentiated and undifferentiated carcinomas at varying frequencies. However, the significance of the hypermethylation varies according to the analyzed genomic region, and hypermethylation of these genes can also be present in non-neoplastic gastric epithelia. Promoter demethylation of specific genes, such as MAGE and synuclein y, can occur during the progressive stages of both histological types, and is associated with patient prognosis. Thus, while the molecular pathways of gastric carcinogenesis are dependent on histological background, specific genetic alterations can still be used for risk assessment, diagnosis, and prognosis.  相似文献

Gastric cancer is a leading cause of cancer death worldwide,and significant effort has been focused on clarifying the pathology of gastric cancer.In particular,the development of genome-wide analysis tools has enabled the detection of genetic and epigenetic alterations in gastric cancer;for example,aberrant DNA methylation in gene promoter regions is thought to play a crucial role in gastric carcinogenesis.The etiological viewpoint is also essential for the study of gastric cancers,and two distinct pathogens,Helicobacter pylori(H.pylori)and Epstein-Barr virus(EBV),are known to participate in gastric carcinogenesis.Chronic inflammation of the gastric epithelium due to H.pylori infection induces aberrant polyclonal methylation that may lead to an increased risk of gastric cancer.In addition,EBV infection is known to cause extensive methylation,and EBV-positive gastric cancers display a high methylation epigenotype,in which aberrant methylation extends to not only Polycomb repressive complex(PRC)-target genes in embryonic stem cells but also non-PRC-target genes.Here,we review aberrant DNA methylation in gastric cancer and the association between methylation and infection with H.pylori and EBV.  相似文献

Background Aberrant methylation of some cancer-related genes has been reported to correlate with sensitivity to chemotherapeutic agents. The present study was designed to determine whether DNA methylation in six cancer-related genes affects recurrence of gastric cancer in patients who received 5-fluorouracil-based adjuvant chemotherapy. Methods The methylation status of six genes, MGMT, CHFR, hMLH1, p16INK4a, E-cadherin, and Runx3, was analyzed in 56 surgically resected gastric cancer tissue specimens by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction. Of the 56 patients who underwent surgical resection, 38 received 5-fluorouracil (5-FU)-based adjuvant chemotherapy postoperatively (adjuvant group), whereas the other 18 (32%) did not (surgery group). Results There were no significant differences between the two groups with respect to sex, cancer differentiation, depth of tumor invasion, lymph node metastasis, lymphatic invasion, vascular invasion and tumor stage. Among the genes, methylation of p16INK4a showed a significant correlation with longer survival in the 38 patients of the adjuvant group, but not in the 18 patients of the surgery group. A multivariate analysis identified p16INK4a methylation to be an independent factor predicting a longer recurrence-free period under 5-FU-based adjuvant chemotherapy. Conclusions The present study demonstrated for the first time that gastric cancer patients with p16INK4a methylation specifically benefit from 5-FU-based adjuvant chemotherapy.  相似文献

AIM: To investigate the association between the tag single nucleotide polymorphisms (TagSNPs) of NOD1 and NOD2 and the risk of developing gastric cancer.METHODS: We conducted a hospital-based case-control study including 296 incident gastric cancer patients and 160 gastritis controls. Eight TagSNPs in the NOD1 and NOD2 genes were selected from the Hapmap database using the haploview software and genotyped by the Sequenom MassArray system. The serum levels of anti-Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) IgG were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay to indicate H. pylori infection. The odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated by unconditional logistic regression, including sex and age as confounding factors.RESULTS: The NOD1 rs2907749 GG genotype showed a decreased risk for gastric cancer (OR 0.50, 95% CI: 0.26-0.95, P = 0.04) while the rs7789045 TT genotype showed an increased risk (OR 2.14, 95% CI: 1.20-3.82, P = 0.01). An elevated susceptibility to gastric cancer was observed in the subjects with H. pylori infection and the NaOD1 rs7789045 TT genotype (OR 2.05, 95% CI: 1.07-3.94, P = 0.03) or the NOD2 rs7205423 GC genotype (OR 2.52, 95% CI: 1.05-6.04, P = 0.04). Haplotype analysis suggested that the distribution of AGT (rs2907749, rs2075820 and rs7789045) in NOD1 between the cases and control groups was significantly different (P corrected: 0.04), and the diplotype AGT/AGT was associated with an elevated gastric cancer risk (OR 1.98, 95% CI: 1.04-3.79, P = 0.04). The association of the NOD1 rs7789045 TT genotype and the diplotype AGT/AGT was significant with H. pylori-related diffuse-type gastric cancer (OR 3.00, 95% CI: 1.38-6.53, P = 0.01; OR 4.02, 95% CI: 1.61-10.05, P < 0.01, respectively).CONCLUSION: Genetic polymorphisms in NOD1 and NOD2 may interact with H. pylori infection and may play important roles in promoting the development of gastric cancer in the Chinese population.  相似文献

Introduction   p16 INK4A is a tumor suppressor encoding the Cdk inhibitor protein, which acts to repress Cdk4/6 and pRb phosphorylation. p16 INK4A gene can be inactivated by a variety of events, including promoter hypermethylation. Materials and methods  To investigate the methylation status of the p16 INK4A gene in Iranian patients with breast carcinoma, promoter methylation was studied by methylation-specific PCR (MSP) and restriction enzyme-related PCR (REP). In addition, p16 INK4A promoter was analyzed by PCR-SSCP in order to detection of mutation and single nucleotide polymorphisms. Results  Analysis of 70 patients by MPS and REP showed hypermethylation of p16 INK4A promoter in 35.7% (25/70) and 40% (28/70) of samples, respectively. Comparison of the molecular data and pathological information of the samples suggested that p16 INK4A gene might be inactivated at the early stages in breast cancer. Conclusion  Therefore, it could be suggested that hypermethylation of p16 INK4A promoter is one of the epigenetic factors affecting the progress of sporadic breast carcinogenesis in Iranian patients.  相似文献
