It remains unknown whether tobacco smoke induces DNA hypermethylation as an early event in carcinogenesis or as a late event, specific to overt cancer tissue. Using MethyLight assays, we analyzed 316 lung tissue samples from 151 cancer-free subjects (121 ever-smokers and 30 never-smokers) for hypermethylation of 19 genes previously observed to be hypermethylated in nonsmall cell lung cancers. Only APC (39%), CCND2 (21%), CDH1 (7%), and RARB (4%) were hypermethylated in >2% of these cancer-free subjects. CCND2 was hypermethylated more frequently in ever-smokers (26%) than in never-smokers (3%). CCND2 hypermethylation was also associated with increased age and upper lobe sample location. APC was frequently hypermethylated in both ever-smokers (41%) and never-smokers (30%). BVES, CDH13, CDKN2A (p16), CDKN2B, DAPK1, IGFBP3, IGSF4, KCNH5, KCNH8, MGMT, OPCML, PCSK6, RASSF1, RUNX, and TMS1 were rarely hypermethylated (<2%) in all subjects. Hypermethylation of CCND2 may reflect a smoking-induced precancerous change in the lung.
目前尚不清楚烟草烟雾是否会诱导 DNA 超甲基化,是作为致癌作用的早期事件,还是作为特定于明显癌组织的晚期事件。我们使用 MethyLight 分析了 151 例无癌症受试者(121 例曾吸烟者和 30 例从不吸烟者)的 316 个肺组织样本,以分析 19 个先前在非小细胞肺癌中观察到超甲基化的基因的超甲基化。这些无癌症受试者中,仅有 APC(39%)、CCND2(21%)、CDH1(7%)和 RARB(4%)的超甲基化发生率超过 2%。CCND2 在曾吸烟者(26%)中的超甲基化频率高于从不吸烟者(3%)。CCND2 的超甲基化也与年龄增加和上叶样本位置有关。APC 在曾吸烟者(41%)和从不吸烟者(30%)中均频繁超甲基化。BVES、CDH13、CDKN2A(p16)、CDKN2B、DAPK1、IGFBP3、IGSF4、KCNH5、KCNH8、MGMT、OPCML、PCSK6、RASSF1、RUNX 和 TMS1 在所有受试者中的超甲基化发生率均较低(<2%)。CCND2 的超甲基化可能反映了吸烟引起的肺部癌前变化。
