To gain insight into the role of peptidylarginine deiminase type 4 (PADI4), we determined the relationship between PADI4 mRNA and global hypomethylation during HBV exposure in hepatocarcinogenesis. We analyzed Line-1 methylation by MSP, and CD133 mRNA by real-time PCR in 74 HCC. The HCC cancer lines (7721, Huh7, and Hep-G2) were treated with 5-Aza-CdR and TSA. PADI4 mRNA were lower in HCC tissues (Mean(-∆Ct) = 1.41) than that in Non-Hcc tissues (Mean(-∆Ct) = 3.10). Expression of PADI4 was elevated in only 20 (27 %) of the 74 HCC patients but decreased in 54 (73 %) of the patients. The declined PADI4 mRNA was significantly associated with Line-1 demethylation in HCC patients. PADI4 mRNA were lower in HCC patients with Line-1 ∆MI <-0.15 (Mean(-∆∆Ct) = -2.66) than those with Line-1 ∆MI >= -0.15 (Mean(-∆∆Ct) = -1.02). The results suggested that HCC showing hypomethylation of Line-1 is considered to be silencing PADI4 mRNA. And the lower PADI4 mRNA was also found in HCC patients with HBV >= 10(5) (copy/ml) than those with HBV < 10(5) (copy/ml). After treated by 5-Aza-CdR and TSA, we found that PADI4 mRNA induced significantly by TSA in Huh7 and Hep-G2 cells, but not in 7721 cells. Meanwhile, PADI4 mRNA induced by the combination of 5-Aza-CdR and TSA in HCC cells, and it could no effect for exposure to 5-Aza-CdR alone. The results suggested that decreased PADI4 mRNA is associated with global hypomethylation in HCC during HBV exposure.
为了深入了解肽基精氨酸脱亚氨酶 4(PADI4)的作用,我们在乙肝病毒(HBV)暴露导致肝癌发生的过程中,确定了 PADI4mRNA 与总体低甲基化之间的关系。我们通过 MSP 分析了 LINE-1 甲基化,并用实时 PCR 分析了 74 例 HCC 中的 CD133mRNA。用 5-Aza-CdR 和 TSA 处理 HCC 细胞系(7721、Huh7 和 Hep-G2)。与 Non-Hcc 组织(Mean(-∆Ct)=3.10)相比,HCC 组织中的 PADI4mRNA 水平较低(Mean(-∆Ct)=1.41)。仅在 74 例 HCC 患者中的 20 例(27%)中升高,而在 54 例(73%)患者中降低。在 HCC 患者中,下调的 PADI4mRNA 与 LINE-1 去甲基化显著相关。LINE-1 ∆MI <-0.15(Mean(-∆∆Ct)=-2.66)的 HCC 患者的 PADI4mRNA 水平低于 LINE-1 ∆MI >= -0.15(Mean(-∆∆Ct)=-1.02)的患者。结果表明,LINE-1 低甲基化的 HCC 被认为是沉默 PADI4mRNA。此外,HBV>=10(5)(拷贝/ml)的 HCC 患者的 PADI4mRNA 水平也低于 HBV<10(5)(拷贝/ml)的患者。用 5-Aza-CdR 和 TSA 处理后,我们发现 TSA 可显著诱导 Huh7 和 Hep-G2 细胞中的 PADI4mRNA,但不能诱导 7721 细胞。同时,5-Aza-CdR 和 TSA 的联合作用可诱导 HCC 细胞中的 PADI4mRNA,而单独暴露于 5-Aza-CdR 则没有效果。结果表明,HBV 暴露期间 HCC 中的 PADI4mRNA 下调与总体低甲基化有关。
