目的 探讨Line-1(long interspersed nucleotide element-1)甲基化水平与胃癌临床病理特征的关系.方法 收取30例胃癌标本和癌旁正常组织,采用焦磷酸测序技术(Pyrosequencing)对胃癌组织和癌旁正常组织Line-1甲基化水平进行检测.结果 30例胃癌患者胃癌组织中Line-1甲基化平均水平65.8%,而正常组织为75.1%,差异有统计学意义(P<0.05);30例胃癌组织中,Line-1甲基化水平在不同的发病性别、发病年龄、发生位置和分化程度中差异无统计学意义(P>0.05);Line-1甲基化程度与浸润深度(T1/T2:68.9%、T3/T4:61.3%)、淋巴结转移(NO:70.0%、N1:69.9%、N2:61.7%、N3:57.6%)和远处转移(MO:67.9%、M1:59.1%)明显相关(P<0.05),并且随着胃癌的进展而降低.结论 Line-1低甲基化与胃癌浸润和转移有关,可能参与胃癌的进展.
Objective To elucidate the correlation of methylation of long interspersed nucleotide element-1 (Line-1) with clinicalopathological features of gastric cancer.Methods Gastric cancer tissues and paracancerous tissues were collected from 30 patients and methylation status of Line-1 was detected in caner and corresponding normal tissues by using Pyrosequencing.Results The methylation level of Line-1in normal gastric and gastric cancer tissues was 75.1% and 65.8% respectively (P〈0.05).Among 30cancer tissues,methylation status of Line-1 was closely related to tumor infiltration (T1/T2:68.9%,T3/T4:61.3% ),lymph nodes metastasis ( NO:70.0%,N1:69.9%,N2:61.7%,N3:57.6% ) and distant metastasis ( MO:67.9%,M1:59.1% ) ( P 〈0.05) and declined with tumor progression,but wasn't associated with age,gender,location and differentiation ( P〉 0.05 ).Conclusion Hypomethylation of Line-1 was remarkably related to infiltration and metastasis of gastric cancer and may contribute to the tumor progression.
