Methylation of the tumor associated genes in head and neck squamous cell carcinoma

Introduction. Head and neck cancer is a heterogenous group of malignant tumors of different etiologies, molecular mechanisms of which are still insufficiently studied.Aim. Investigation of DNA methylation status of some tumor associated genes (RASSF1A, RASSF2, RASSF5, CDO1, MEST and WIF1) in patient...

description Introduction. Head and neck cancer is a heterogenous group of malignant tumors of different etiologies, molecular mechanisms of which are still insufficiently studied.Aim. Investigation of DNA methylation status of some tumor associated genes (RASSF1A, RASSF2, RASSF5, CDO1, MEST and WIF1) in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma.Materials and methods. The DNA methylation level of normal and tumor tissues was analyzed using bisulfite conversion and methylation-sensitive high-resolution melting in 25 patients (21 men and 4 women) diagnosed with neck squamous cell carcinoma.Results. There were significant differences in levels of DNA methylation between tumor and normal tissues in the CDO1 and WIF1 genes in all groups and subgroups of patients (larynx and other cancers, squamous cell carcinoma keratinizing and non-keratinizing, primary and recurrent tumor, smokers and non-smokers). The methylation level in the CDO1 gene in tumor tissue was significantly increased in the T4 and T3 stage subgroups compared to T2.Conclusion. The increased level of methylation of the CDO1 and WIF1 genes, as well as changes in their expression are among the molecular mechanisms involved in the neck squamous cell carcinoma development. They can be considered as prognostic and diagnostic markers for this pathology.
