Transcriptional silencing of tumour suppressor genes (TSG) due to hypermethylation is a common event in human tumours. The three members of the KIP/CIP family of cyclin dependent kinase inhibitors (CDKIs), p21(CIP 1), p27(KIP 1), and p 57(KIP 2), play key roles in cell cycle regulation, but little is known about their methylation in myeloid neoplasia. Therefore, we analysed 9 haematopoietic cell lines, 67 myelodysplastic syndrome (MDS) and 26 acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) cases as well as 11 controls. p 57(KIP 2) hypermethylation was found in 4/9 cell lines, but methylation of p21(CIP 1) and p27(KIP 1) was infrequent. All patient samples analysed were methylation-negative for these three genes.
由于高甲基化导致的肿瘤抑制基因(TSG)转录沉默在人类肿瘤中是常见现象。细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶抑制剂(CDKIs)的KIP/CIP家族的三个成员,即p21(CIP 1)、p27(KIP 1)和p57(KIP 2),在细胞周期调控中起关键作用,但关于它们在髓系肿瘤中的甲基化情况知之甚少。因此,我们分析了9个造血细胞系、67例骨髓增生异常综合征(MDS)和26例急性髓系白血病(AML)病例以及11例对照。在4/9的细胞系中发现了p57(KIP 2)高甲基化,但p21(CIP 1)和p27(KIP 1)的甲基化并不常见。所有分析的患者样本这三个基因的甲基化均为阴性。
