Wnt inhibitory factor 1 (WIF1) methylation and its association with clinical prognosis in patients with chondrosarcoma.

ABSTRACT: Chondrosarcoma (CS) is a rare cancer, but it is the second most common primary malignant bone tumor and highly resistant to conventional chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Aberrant DNA methylation in the promoter CpG island of Wnt inhibitory factor 1 (WIF1) has been observed in different cancers. However, no studies have shown the relationship between WIF1 methylation and CS. In this study, we found promoter methylated WIF1 in both CS cell lines (CS-1 and SW1353) and tumor tissues. Western blot analysis confirmed loss WIF1 expression and activation of Wnt pathway proteins (Wnt5a/b, LRP6, and Dvl2). We subsequently examined the correlation between levels of WIF1 methylation and overall survival (OS) and progression-free survival (PFS) in CS patient samples with a follow-up spanning 234 months (mean: 57.6 months). Kaplan-Meier survival curves and log-rank tests revealed that high levels of WIF1 methylation were associated with lower OS and PFS rates (p?

Project description:BACKGROUND:As biomarkers, DNA methylation is used to detect colorectal cancer (CRC) and make assessment of CRC prognosis. The published findings showed the association between the methylation of SFRP1, SFRP2, and WIF1, located in the Wnt signaling pathway, and the prognosis of CRC were not consistent. Our study aimed to explore the potential possibility of SFRP1, SFRP2, and WIF1 concomitant promoter methylation as prognostic biomarkers of postoperative CRC patients. METHODS:As a total of 307 sporadic postoperative CRC patients were followed up, we detected SFRP1, SFRP2, and WIF1 methylation obtained from tumor tissues and adjacent non-tumor tissues respectively on the basis of methylation-sensitive high resolution melting analysis. Univariate and multivariate Cox regressions were carried out so as to assess the potential possibility of SFRP1, SFRP2, and WIF1 promoter methylation as predictors of prognosis. Confounders in our study were controlled by Propensity Score (PS) analysis. RESULTS:The SFRP1, SFRP2, and WIF1 methylation levels in tumor tissues were significantly higher than that in adjacent non-tumor tissues (P?<?0.001). SFRP2 hypermethylation was significantly associated with a favorable clinical outcome at the hazard ratio (HR) of 0.343 [95% confidence intervals (CI): 0.164-0.718, P?=?0.005] and 0.410 (95% CI: 0.200-0.842, P?=?0.015) in multivariate Cox regression and PS analysis, respectively. Co-hypermethylation of SFRP1 and SFRP2 was significantly associated with a favorable clinical outcome at the HR of 0.333 (95% CI: 0.159-0.694, P?=?0.003) and 0.398 (95% CI: 0.192-0.821, P?=?0.013) in multivariate Cox regression and PS analysis, respectively. Co-hypermethylation of SFRP1, SFRP2 and WIF1 was significantly associated with a favorable clinical outcome at the HR of 0.326 (95% CI: 0.117-0.908, P?=?0.032) and 0.401 (95% CI: 0.146-1.106, P?=?0.077) in multivariate Cox regression and PS analysis, respectively. CONCLUSIONS:SFRP1, SFRP2, and WIF1 were frequently hypermethylated in CRC tumor tissues. It was apparent that the promoter hypermethylation of SFRP2 and co-hypermethylation of SFRP1 and SFRP2 might be considered as independent prognostic predictors for survival advantage of postoperative CRC patients.
