Elevated MAL expression is accompanied by promoter hypomethylation and platinum resistance in epithelial ovarian cancer.

Abstract:

:We previously found that the gene encoding the Myelin and Lymphocyte protein, MAL, was among the most highly expressed genes in serous ovarian cancers from short-term survivors (<3 years) relative to those of long-term survivors (>7 years). In the present study, we have found that this difference in expression is partially attributable to differences in DNA methylation at a specific region within the MAL promoter CpG island. While MAL was largely unmethylated at the transcription start site (Region 1; -48 to +73 bp) in primary serous ovarian cancers, methylation of an upstream region (Region 2; -452 to -266 bp) was inversely correlated with MAL transcription in the primary cancers (R = -0.463) and ovarian cancer cell lines (R = -0.444). Following treatment of the OVCA432 cell line with 5-azacytidine, methylation of Region 2 decreased from 73.3% to 34.7% (p = 0.007) while Region 1 was unaffected. This was accompanied by a 10-fold increase in MAL expression. Since MAL transcripts are elevated in tumors from short-term survivors, all of whom were treated with platinum-based therapy, MAL may have a role in cisplatin response. We therefore determined the 50% growth inhibitory dose of cisplatin in 30 ovarian cancer cell lines and compared this to MAL expression. MAL transcript levels were higher in the resistant ovarian cell lines (p = 0.04). MAL methylation status may therefore serve as a marker of platinum sensitivity while MAL protein may be a target for development of novel therapies aimed at enhancing sensitivity to platinum-based drugs in ovarian cancer.
