Abstract:BackgroundColorectal cancer is the third most common form of cancer and hypermethylation has been shown to increase the risk of developing this disease. DNA hypermethylation in the A kinase anchor protein 12 (AKAP12/Gravin) promoter region and the accompanied underexpression of it has been noted in a variety of human cancers.MethodsWe applied methylation-specific high resolution melting (MS-HRM) technology to detect quantitatively A kinase anchor protein 12 (AKAP12/Gravin) methylation in peripheral blood from 100 colorectal cancer patients and 50 healthy volunteers and in 3 colorectal cancer cell lines.ResultsIn this study 48 of the 100 colorectal cancer samples (48%) were found to be methylated at the AKAP12 promoter region. AKAP12 methylation was significantly higher in the colorectal cancer samples with differentiation (p = 0.03). We also compared the results generated by MS-HRM with a traditional methylation-specific PCR (MSP) assay. We found that intra-assay variability ranged from 6.14 to 9.90% and inter-assay variability ranged from 14.5 to 17.2%. The AKAP12 MS-HRM assay was able to reproducibly detect 1% methylated DNA, whereas the MSP method was unable to detect less than 5% methylation.ConclusionsWe demonstrate the utility of quantitative AKAP12 MS-HRM analysis of promoter methylation in peripheral blood samples. AKAP12 MS-HRM quantitative methods with excellent detection capabilities have many promising applications in the research and diagnosis of colorectal cancer.
