Abstract:
PURPOSE:The functional relationship between promoter hypermethylation and gene inactivation has been demonstrated for few genes only. We examined the promoter methylation status of two important tumor suppressor genes APAF-1 and DAPK-1 in bladder cancer as well as the mRNA expression pattern of these two genes for possible correlation between promoter hypermethylation and transcriptional repression. METHODS:The methylation status and mRNA expression levels were related to clinicopathological features in 34 patients with transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder with a median clinical follow-up of more than 45 months. Tissue from ten patients with nonmalignant disease served as a control group. Quantitative real-time PCR-based detection methods were used for determination of the normalized index of methylation (NIM) as well as the mRNA expression level. RESULTS:APAF-1 and DAPK-1 methylation and mRNA expression was observed in all tumor and normal control samples investigated. Methylation (NIM) levels were significantly higher in tumor tissue for APAF-1 and DAPK-1, but median mRNA expression levels did not differ significantly comparing tumorous and non tumorous tissue. No correlation between expression levels of APAF-1 and DAPK-1 mRNA and tumor stage or grade was observed. However, in superficial TCC a strong correlation between higher NIM levels and lower mRNA expression of the APAF-1 gene was observed (P = 0.014). CONCLUSIONS:Our results, although preliminary, provide first time in vivo expression analysis of the APAF-1 gene in bladder cancer specimen, suggesting expression control by promoter methylation in early stage tumor disease of the bladder.
