Genomic instability, including genetic mutations and chromosomal rearrangements, can lead to cancer development. Aberrant DNA methylation occurs commonly in cancer cells. The aim of this study is to determine the effects of a specific chromosomal lesion the translocation t(9:22), in establishing DNA methylation profiles in cancer. We compared DNA methylation of 1,505 selected promoter CpGs in chronic myelogenous leukemia (CML), acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) with and without the Philadelphia chromosome t(9:22), CD34+ hematopoietic stem cells transfected with , and other tumors without (acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) and gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GIST). In this study, the DNA methylation profile of CML was more closely related to APL, another myeloid leukemia, than Ph+ ALL. Although DNA methylation profiles were consistent within a specific tumor type, overall DNA methylation profiles were no influenced by gene translocation in the cancers and tissues studied. We conclude that DNA methylation profiles may reflect the cell of origin in cancers rather than the chromosomal lesions involved in leukemogenesis.
基因组不稳定,包括基因突变和染色体重排,可导致癌症发生。异常的DNA甲基化在癌细胞中普遍存在。本研究的目的是确定一种特定的染色体病变——易位t(9:22),在建立癌症DNA甲基化图谱中的作用。我们比较了慢性粒细胞白血病(CML)、有或无费城染色体t(9:22)的急性淋巴细胞白血病(ALL)、转染了的CD34+造血干细胞以及其他无该染色体病变的肿瘤(急性早幼粒细胞白血病(APL)和胃肠道间质瘤(GIST))中1505个选定启动子CpG的DNA甲基化情况。在本研究中,CML的DNA甲基化图谱与另一种髓系白血病APL的关系比与Ph+ ALL的关系更密切。尽管特定肿瘤类型内的DNA甲基化图谱是一致的,但在所研究的癌症和组织中,总体DNA甲基化图谱不受基因易位的影响。我们得出结论,DNA甲基化图谱可能反映癌症的起源细胞,而非白血病发生过程中涉及的染色体病变。
