Abstract

BACKGROUND AND
OBJECTIVE: DNA methylation is one of the mechanisms of epigenetics. Allelic loss located on chromosome 3p happen frequently and early in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). The aim of this study is to detect the promoter methylation status of tumor suppressor genes (TSGs) located on chromosome 3p in NSCLC and to evaluate its correlation with clinicopathological features.
METHODS: A total of 78 paired NSCLC specimens and their adjacent normal tissues were collected in the study. Promoter methylation status was determined by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP). DLEC1 gene expression was determined by RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry.
RESULTS: Aberrant methylation frequency of DLEC1, RASSF1A, hMLH1, RARβ and FHIT genes detected in 78 NSCLC tissues were 41.03%, 39.74%, 30.77% and 16.67%, respectively, which were all significantly higher than that in adjacent normal tissues. However, FHIT gene was not detected methylation in both cancerous and non-cancerous tissues. DLEC1 hypermethylation was associated with advanced stage (P=0.011) and lymph metastasis (P=0.019), while RASSF1A, RARβ, hMLH1 and mean methylation index (MI) were not correlated with any clinicopathological parameters. Moreover, DLEC1 gene downregulation was detected in 56.41% (44/78) NSCLC tissues and correlated with promoter hypermethylation.
CONCLUSIONS: Frequent hypermethylation of TSGs located on chromosome 3p was a common event contributing to NSCLC pathogenesis and DLEC1 methylation was closely correlated with loss of expression.

DNA甲基化是表观遗传学的一种调控机制,抑癌基因启动子区域CpG岛的异常高甲基化,使染色质螺旋程度增加,基因转录受到抑制,与肿瘤发生密切相关[。肺癌,以非小细胞肺癌(non-small cell lung cancer, NSCLC)为主,是世界范围内癌症致死的首要原因。研究NSCLC特异的DNA甲基化将为揭示其发病机制提供线索并可能作为潜在的生物标记。 染色体3p区等位基因缺失是肺癌发生中较频繁和早期的事件之一,其中3p12-13、3p14.2、3p21.1-21.2、3p21.3和3p24-26等被证实是缺失的热点区域,提示在这些区域存在多个抑癌基因[。本实验以改良的甲基化特异性聚合酶链反应(methylation specific PCR, MSP)检测78例NSCLC组织中3p区抑癌基因DLEC1(deleted in lung and esophageal cancer 1)、RASSF1A(Ras associated domain family member 1)、hMLH1(mutL homolog 1)、RARβ(retinoic acid receptor β)和FHITfragile histidine triad gene)的甲基化状况,并分析与临床病理特征的关系。

采用RT-PCR检测DLEC1基因的表达

采用Trizole一步法进行组织RNA的抽提,3 μL RNA样品用1%琼脂糖凝胶电泳检测RNA的完整性。RNA定量后取2 μg进行逆转录反应(first strand cDNA kit, Takara),之后以25 μL反应体系进行体外PCR扩增。DLEC1及DAPDH引物见表 1。PCR产物于2%琼脂糖凝胶中电泳,在图像扫描仪下观察,用SmartView生物电泳图像分析系统处理,并用同一样品的GAPDH扩增产物作为内参照进行校正,得出目的条带与内参照条带的吸光度比值。

免疫组织化学法检测DLEC1基因的表达

石蜡包埋切片经脱蜡、水化、抗原修复后,EnVision二步法检测DLEC1蛋白表达,兔抗人DLEC1单抗(Sigma公司,1:200稀释)4 ℃孵育过夜,PBS冲洗,二抗(Dako, Ely, UK)室温孵育30 min,DAB显色,苏木素复染。实验同时以PBS代替一抗作空白对照。DLEC1蛋白表达定位于细胞浆,为黄-棕黄色颗粒,采用半定量积分法判定结果。于高倍镜下随机选取5个视野(每个视野观察细胞数不少于200个),具体标准如下:(1)阳性细胞数0-5%为0分,6%-25%为1分,26%-50%为2分,>50%为3分;(2)阳性强度无色为0分,淡黄色为1分,棕黄色为2分,棕褐色为3分。将(1)(2)两者积分相加,癌组织总分低于相应正常组织者为低表达。

统计学方法

采用SPSS 12.0软件进行统计分析,结果以Mean±SD或百分比表示。DLEC1表达差异采用配对t检验;率的比较采取χ2检验或Fisher确切概率法;甲基化指数(methylation index, MI),定义为每个样本发生甲基化的位点与检测的总位点的比值,组间差异比较行方差分析(ANOVA)。P < 0.05为差异有统计学意义。

结果

NSCLC组织甲基化状况

DLEC1RASSF1A、RARβ和hMLH1在78例NSCLC肿瘤组织中的甲基化频率分别为41.03%、39.74%、30.77%和16.67%,而在相应正常组织中为3.85%、7.69%、8.97%和5.13%,差异均具有统计学意义(表 2)。联合检测这4个基因甲基化在肿瘤组织中的阳性率达到69.23%,正常组织中为16.67%(P < 0.001)。FHIT基因在所检测的40例样本中,无论癌组织还是正常组织均无甲基化。典型MSP结果见图 1。

DLEC1基因表达状况

新型抑癌基因DLEC1在78例NSCLC组织中的表达通过RT-PCR(图 2)和免疫组化(图 3)鉴定。与相应正常组织相比,44例(56.41%)肿瘤组织的DLEC1基因在mRNA和蛋白水平均表达下调或缺失;并且,在32例甲基化的肿瘤组织中,28例表现出DLEC1下调或缺失,表明DLEC1基因失活与启动子高甲基化密切相关(表 4,P < 0.001)。

讨论

NSCLC的发生是多步骤的过程,涉及癌基因的激活和抑癌基因的失活。除了基因水平上的突变、缺失等,表观遗传学的改变,特别是DNA的5’CpG岛区域异常甲基化是导致抑癌基因失活的主要原因之一。由于表观遗传学的改变常发生于遗传学改变之前,因此在NSCLC发生的早期就可能检测到抑癌基因异常甲基化[,这对于肿瘤的早期诊断具有重要意义。 3号染色体短臂(3p)被认为是多个抑癌基因“停泊”的港口,本研究在78例NSCLC组织中检测5个典型的3p区抑癌基因甲基化情况,包括位于3p21.3-22的DLEC1,3p21.3的RASSF1AhMLH1,3p24的RARβ和3p14.2的FHIT。结果发现,DLEC1RASSF1A、RARβ和hMLH1在癌组织的甲基化频率依次为41.03%、39.74%、30.77%和16.67%,均显著高于相应正常组织。并且,69.23%的肿瘤组织至少发生这四者之中一个位点的甲基化,而正常组织仅为16.67%。其中,DLEC1是新近在肺癌、食管癌和肾癌中鉴定的候选抑癌基因,转染DCEC1基因到肿瘤细胞株中明显抑制细胞克隆形成及体内致瘤性[,但其抑癌作用的机制尚不明确;RASSF1A是Ras激活信号传导通路的负向调节因子,可阻断Ras生长效应信号由胞外传向胞内[;RARβ是维甲酸(retinoic acid, RA)受体,参与抑制维甲酸介导的细胞增殖和分化[;hMLH1属于错配修复基因,对维护基因组的稳定性起着重要的作用[。它们在NSCLC中的异常甲基化均有报道,本实验进一步证实其在中国人群中的普遍性,可能是NSCLC发病的重要机制。 值得注意的是,FHIT基因参与DNA修复及细胞凋亡抑制,在NSCLC中的表达下调及启动子高甲基化亦有诸多报道[,但在本实验检测的40例样本中,FHIT在癌组织和正常组织均无异常甲基化。这可能与样本异质性有关,除甲基化之外,尚有其它因素如微卫星不稳定(microsatellite instability, MSI)和杂合性缺失(loss of heterozygosity, LOH)等导致FHIT基因失活[。 进一步的分析表明,DLEC1基因甲基化与NSCLC临床分期和淋巴结转移相关,提示DLEC1启动子甲基化还参与肿瘤演进,可能作为潜在的预后指标。但RASSF1A、RARβ、hMLH1基因甲基化以及包括DLEC1在内的四者平均MI与NSCLC临床病理特征无关联,表明3p区抑癌基因甲基化是一个相对独立的危险因素,在总体水平上仍是NSCLC发生中的早期事件,可作为NSCLC早期诊断的潜在标记物。 新型抑癌基因DLEC1包含37个外显子,长约59 kb,编码一个含有1, 755个氨基酸的蛋白,这个蛋白与已知的所有蛋白都没有相近的同源序列[,其在人类正常组织中广泛表达,而在大多数肿瘤组织和细胞系中表达下调。目前的研究[表明启动子高甲基化可能是导致DLEC1基因失活的重要原因,如DLEC1在大部分肝癌细胞系和70.6%(48/68)的原发肝癌中表现出高甲基化,而在临近正常肝组织中仅为10.3%(7/68),去甲基化药物5-Aza-dC处理可使肝癌细胞系恢复DLEC1表达[;鼻咽癌中,71%(30/42)的原发肿瘤检出DLEC1高甲基化,且所有DLEC1表达沉默的肿瘤细胞系均为高甲基化,而DLEC1充分表达的鼻咽部上皮细胞均为未甲基化[。在肺癌组织中,Seng等[也发现,38.9%(93/239)的NSCLC中存在DLEC1高甲基化,并与患者临床分期、淋巴结转移和不良预后有关。本研究进一步证实,56.41%(44/78)的NSCLC组织中,DLEC1基因在mRNA和蛋白水平均表达下调或缺失,并且,DLEC1基因失活与启动子高甲基化密切相关,有助于进一步揭示其在NSCLC发生发展中的作用。 总之,本研究证实3p区抑癌基因甲基化是NSCLC发生中的重要分子事件,新型抑癌基因DLEC1基因失活与启动子高甲基化有关。
