Loss of CDKN2A and CDKN2B expression is associated with disease recurrence in oral cancer.

ABSTRACT: Background:Loco-regional recurrence is one of the major reasons for poor prognosis of oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC). However, till date, no feasible molecular marker is available to predict the risk of recurrence in OSCC patients. Aim:To evaluate the cell cycle regulatory genes expression and its association with the risk of recurrence in oral cancer patients. Materials and Methods:Transcript level expressions of 47 cell cycle regulatory genes were analyzed in 73 OSCC tumors from buccal mucosa and tongue, 26 adjacent normal samples using real-time polymerase chain reaction. TaqMan low-density array data were analyzed using the DataAssist™ v 3.01. Significantly altered genes within the tumor samples and samples showing recurrence (re-appearance of disease during the follow-up in cases having complete response to initial treatment assessed after 3 months of the treatment) were identified. Further, Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes pathway analysis and The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) online data analysis portal were used to analyze interacting protein and pathways significantly associated with the altered gene. Results:CCNA1, CCNB2, CCND2, CCNE1, CCNF, CDC2, CDK6, CHEK1, and TGFA found to significantly alter in the tumor sample of oral cancer patients, and down-expression of CDKN2A and CDKN2B found to associate with the recurrence of disease in oral cancer patients. TCGA data also showed the loss of CDKN2A and CDKN2B significantly associated with recurrence in head and neck cancer patients. Conclusion:CDKN2A and CDKN2B expression analysis can be used as the prognostic marker for the oral cancer patients. The present method of data analysis helps overcome the limitations and complications of high throughput techniques and thereby increases the opportunity of employing molecular markers in routine clinical management of OSCC.

Project description:BackgroundInhibitor of DNA binding/Inhibitor of differentiation 4 (ID4) is a critical factor for cell proliferation and differentiation in normal vertebrate development. ID4 has regulative functions for differentiation and growth of the developing brain. The role of ID1, ID2 and ID3 are expected to be oncogenic due to their overexpression in pancreatic cancer and colorectal adenocarcinomas, respectively. Aside from these findings, loss of ID3 expression was demonstrated in ovarian cancer. The aim of the present study was to reveal the factual role of ID4 in carcinogenesis in more detail, since its role for the pathogenesis of human breast cancer has been discussed controversially, assigning both oncogenic and tumour suppressive functions.MethodsID4 promoter methylation, ID4 mRNA expression and ID4 protein expression were analysed in primary human breast cancer specimens using methylation-specific PCR (MSP) (n=170), semiquantitative realtime RT-PCR (n=46) and immunhistochemistry (n=3), respectively. In order to demonstrate a functional association of ID4 promoter methylation with its gene silencing, we performed DNA demethylation analysis with four human breast cell lines using MSP and semiquantitative realtime RT-PCR. In addition, we performed correlations of ID4 promoter methylation with ID4 mRNA and ID4 protein expression in matched samples of breast tumour and corresponding normal tissue. We carried out statistical analyses in order to find correlations between ID4 promoter methylation and clinicopathological parameters.ResultsFrequent ID4 promoter methylation was observed in primary breast cancer samples (69%, 117/170). We found a tight correlation (P<0.0001) between ID4 promoter methylation and loss of ID4 expression in primary breast cancer 3 specimens. Demethylating treatment with breast cancer cell lines was associated with clear ID4 mRNA re-expression. Tumours with ID4 promoter methylation showed distinct loss of ID4 expression on both transcription and protein level. Interestingly, ID4 promoter methylation was a factor for unfavourable recurrence-free survival (P=0.036) and increased risk for lymph node metastasis (P=0.030).ConclusionID4 is indeed a novel tumour suppressor gene in normal human breast tissue and is epigenetically silenced during cancer development, indicating increased risk for tumour relapse. Thus, ID4 methylation status could serve as a prognostic biomarker in human breast cancer.
