Methylation changes in the human IGF2 p3 promoter parallel IGF2 expression in the primary tumor, established cell line, and xenograft of a human hepatoblastoma.

Abstract:

:Hepatoblastoma (HB) is a rare malignant embryonal liver tumor. Its pathogenesis has been associated with altered regulation of the IGF2 and H19 genes, and previous studies have suggested a correlation between abnormal methylation and altered expression of these genes in hepatoblastoma. Upregulation of the activity of the IGF2 promoter P3 has previously been shown to be tightly correlated with demethylation in hepatoblastoma. Here, we have used bisulfite genomic sequencing to characterize the methylation pattern of the IGF2 promoter P3 in the hepatoblastoma-derived cell line Hep T1, in the original tumor from which Hep T1 is derived, and in nude mouse xenografts of the Hep T1 cell line. The results show a clear difference in methylation pattern of the most proximal region of the IGF2 P3 promoter between the primary tumor, the cell line, and the xenografts. RNase protection and mRNA in situ hybridization revealed that variations in methylation patterns was paralleled by the levels of IGF2 P3 mRNA, which was detectable in the primary tumor and xenografts, but not in the cell line. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that H19 was reactivated and demethylated in the HepT1 cell line by 5-azaCytidine, in contrast to IGF2 P3, which was not demethylated or reactivated. We suggest that methylation of the proximal IGF2 P3 is important for its regulation.
