Discovering the mechanism and involvement of the methylation of cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A) gene and its special locus region in gastric cancer.

ABSTRACT: Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A) gene methylation has been paramount in the development of malignant masses. The purpose of the conducted research was to evaluate the mechanism and involvement of methylation in regards to the CDKN2A gene and the specific locus region in gastric cancer (GC) with comprehensive statistical analysis utilizing statistics acquired from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database. Gene Set Enrichment Analysis (GSEA) revealed that the level of CDKN2A gene methylation and its locus in GC tissues was increased compared to para-cancerous tissues. In multivariate analysis, low methylation of CDKN2A gene, cg03079681, cg04026675, cg07562918, and cg13601799 locus were independently linked to better OS. In addition, the methylation of CDKN2A gene, cg00718440, cg03079681, cg04026675, cg07562918, cg10848754, cg14069088 and cg14430974 locus were negative correlated with CDKN2A gene expression. Meanwhile, the methylation of cg12840719 locus was positively correlated with CDKN2A gene expression. GSEA showed that hallmark_kras_signaling_dn, hallmark_myogenesis, and hallmark_epithelial_mesenchymal_transition pathways were enriched in the CDKN2A gene hypermethylation phenotype. Taken together, the low methylation of CDKN2A gene, cg03079681, cg04026675, cg07562918, and cg13601799 locus indicated a better prognosis in GC. The methylation levels of cg14069088 were most negatively correlated with CDKN2A gene expression. Hallmark_kras_signaling_dn, Hallmark_myogenesis, and hallmark_epithelial_mesenchymal_transition pathways might be important in the regulation of CDKN2A gene hypermethylation.

Functional Genetic Single-Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) in Cyclin-Dependent Kinase Inhibitor 2A/B (CDKN2A/B) Locus Are Associated with Risk and Prognosis of Osteosarcoma in Chinese Populations.

Project description:BACKGROUND Cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A/B (CDKN2A/B) encodes several tumor suppressor proteins. Aberrant genetic alterations in CDKN2A/B were found in some malignancies, which were believed to be associated with tumor originating and progression. We hypothesized that CDKN2A/B genetic polymorphisms might be associated with the risk of poorer prognosis of osteosarcoma in Chinese populations. MATERIAL AND METHODS We included 184 validated osteosarcoma cases and 185 cancer-free healthy controls in the study. Five single-nucleotide polymorphisms of CDKN2A/B (rs1063192, rs3218009, rs3217986, rs3217992, and rs3731257) were genotyped and underwent bioinformatic analysis. DNA from osteosarcoma individuals was isolated from frozen peripheral blood and DNA from healthy controls was extracted from fresh prepared peripheral blood. RESULTS An allele of the SNP rs3217992 is predictive for susceptibility to osteosarcoma, and it is associated with poorer prognosis of osteosarcoma. The GA and AA genotypes of rs3217992 are related to elevated risk of osteosarcoma. In addition, the GA and AA genotypes of rs3217992 in CDKN2A might indicate higher stage and increased risk of lung metastasis of osteosarcoma, resulting in worse prognosis. CONCLUSIONS Functional genetic polymorphisms in CDKN2A/B predict the susceptibility and outcome of osteosarcoma in Chinese individuals.

Gene-methylation interactions: discovering region-wise DNA methylation levels that modify SNP-associated disease risk.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Current technology allows rapid assessment of DNA sequences and methylation levels at a single-site resolution for hundreds of thousands of sites in the human genome, in thousands of individuals simultaneously. This has led to an increase in epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) of complex traits, particularly those that are poorly explained by previous genome-wide association studies (GWAS). However, the genome and epigenome are intertwined, e.g., DNA methylation is known to affect gene expression through, for example, genomic imprinting. There is thus a need to go beyond single-omics data analyses and develop interaction models that allow a meaningful combination of information from EWAS and GWAS. RESULTS:We present two new methods for genetic association analyses that treat offspring DNA methylation levels as environmental exposure. Our approach searches for statistical interactions between SNP alleles and DNA methylation (G ×Me) and between parent-of-origin effects and DNA methylation (PoO ×Me), using case-parent triads or dyads. We use summarized methylation levels over nearby genomic region to ease biological interpretation. The methods were tested on a dataset of parent-offspring dyads, with EWAS data on the offspring. Our results showed that methylation levels around a SNP can significantly alter the estimated relative risk. Moreover, we show how a control dataset can identify false positives. CONCLUSIONS:The new methods, G ×Me and PoO ×Me, integrate DNA methylation in the assessment of genetic relative risks and thus enable a more comprehensive biological interpretation of genome-wide scans. Moreover, our strategy of condensing DNA methylation levels within regions helps overcome specific disadvantages of using sparse chip-based measurements. The methods are implemented in the freely available R package Haplin ( https://cran.r-project.org/package=Haplin ), enabling fast scans of multi-omics datasets.

Cdkn2a, the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor encoding p16INK4a and p19ARF, is a candidate for the plasmacytoma susceptibility locus, Pctr1.

Project description:Plasma cell tumor induction in mice by pristane is under multigenic control. BALB/c mice are susceptible to tumor development; whereas DBA/2 mice are resistant. Restriction fragment length polymorphisms between BALB/c and DBA/2 for Cdkn2a(p16) and Cdkn2b(p15), and between BALB/c and Mus spretus for Cdkn2c(p18(INK4c)) were used to position these loci with respect to the Pctr1 locus. These cyclin-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitors mapped to a 6 cM interval of chromosome 4 between Ifna and Tal1. C.D2-Chr 4 congenic strains harboring DBA/2 alleles associated with the Pctr1 locus contained DBA/2 "resistant" alleles of the CDK4/CDK6 inhibitors p16 and p15. On sequencing p16 and p18 cDNAs, two different allelic variants within ankyrin repeat regions of p16 were found between BALB/c and DBA/2 mice. By using an assay involving PCR amplification and restriction enzyme digestion, allelic variants were typed among several inbred strains of mice. One of the variants, G232A, was specific to two inbred strains, BALB/cAn and ABP/Le, of mice and occurred in a highly conserved amino acid in both human and rat p16. When tested with wild-type (DBA/2) p16, both A134C and G232A BALB/c-specific variants of p16 were inefficient in their ability to inhibit the activity of cyclin D2/CDK4 in kinase assays with retinoblastoma protein, suggesting this defective, inherited allele plays an important role in the genetic susceptibility of BALB/c mice for plasmacytoma induction and that p16(INK4a) is a strong candidate for the Pctr1 locus.

The prognostic value of Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 5 and Protein Phosphatase 2A in Gastric Cancer.

Project description:Purpose To discuss the relationship between the clinicopathological data, long-term survival of gastric cancer patients and different expression levels of Cyclin-Dependent Kinase 5 (CDK5) and Protein Phosphatase 2A (PP2A). Method The expression levels of CDK5 and PP2A were detected by immunohistochemistry in specimens from 124 patients with primary gastric cancer. The correlation among the expression of CDK5 and PP2A, clinicopathological factors and prognosis was investigated. Result The expression level of CDK5 was correlated with the TNM stage (p=0.030) and N stage (p=0.001), while the expression level of PP2A was correlated with the TNM stage and N stage (p=0.001 and p=0.004) as well as the degree of differentiation (p=0.046). The expression of CDK5 was positively correlated with the expression of PP2A in gastric cancer. Co-expression of CDK5 and PP2A is an independent prognostic factor that affected overall survival, and provided more accurate prognostic value for the overall survival of gastric cancer patients. Conclusion The expression of CDK5 and PP2A is positively correlated in gastric cancer. Co-expression of CDK5 and PP2A was an independent prognostic factor in patients with gastric cancer.

Functional single nucleotide polymorphisms within the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A/2B region affect pancreatic cancer risk.

Project description:The CDKN2A (p16) gene plays a key role in pancreatic cancer etiology. It is one of the most commonly somatically mutated genes in pancreatic cancer, rare germline mutations have been found to be associated with increased risk of developing familiar pancreatic cancer and CDKN2A promoter hyper-methylation has been suggested to play a critical role both in pancreatic cancer onset and prognosis. In addition several unrelated SNPs in the 9p21.3 region, that includes the CDNK2A, CDNK2B and the CDNK2B-AS1 genes, are associated with the development of cancer in various organs. However, association between the common genetic variability in this region and pancreatic cancer risk is not clearly understood. We sought to fill this gap in a case-control study genotyping 13 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in 2,857 pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) patients and 6,111 controls in the context of the Pancreatic Disease Research (PANDoRA) consortium. We found that the A allele of the rs3217992 SNP was associated with an increased pancreatic cancer risk (ORhet=1.14, 95% CI 1.01-1.27, p=0.026, ORhom=1.30, 95% CI 1.12-1.51, p=0.00049). This pleiotropic variant is reported to be a mir-SNP that, by changing the binding site of one or more miRNAs, could influence the normal cell cycle progression and in turn increase PDAC risk. In conclusion, we observed a novel association in a pleiotropic region that has been found to be of key relevance in the susceptibility to various types of cancer and diabetes suggesting that the CDKN2A/B locus could represent a genetic link between diabetes and pancreatic cancer risk.

CDKN2A methylation in esophageal cancer: a meta-analysis.

Project description:CDKN2A is a tumor suppressor gene and is frequently inactivated in human cancers by hypermethylation of its promoter. However, the role and diagnostic value of CDKN2A methylation in esophageal cancer (EC) remains controversial. Therefore, we performed a meta-analysis, including data from 42 articles (2656 ECs, 612 precancerous lesions, and 2367 controls). A significant increase in the frequency of CDKN2A methylation was identified during EC carcinogenesis: cancer vs. controls, odds ratio (OR) = 12.60 (95 % CI, 8.90-17.85); cancer vs. precancerous lesions, OR = 2.89 (95% CI, 2.20-3.79); and precancerous lesions vs. controls, OR = 7.38, 95% (CI, 4.31-12.66). CDKN2A promoter methylation was associated with EC tumor grade (OR = 1.79; 95% CI, 1.20-2.67) and clinical stage (OR = 2.56; 95% CI, 1.33-4.92). Additionally, the sensitivity, specificity, and area under the summary receiver operating characteristic curve (AUC) for diagnosis of EC based on CDKN2A methylation were 0.52 (95% CI, 0.44-0.59), 0.96 (95% CI, 0.93-0.98), and 0.83 (95% CI, 0.79-0.86), respectively. AUCs for blood and tissue sample subgroups were 0.90 and 0.82, respectively. Our findings indicate that CDKN2A methylation has a vital role in EC tumorigenesis and could be a biomarker for early diagnosis of EC.

Cdkn2a is an atherosclerosis modifier locus that regulates monocyte/macrophage proliferation.

Project description:Common genetic variants in a 58-kb region of chromosome 9p21, near the CDKN2A/CDKN2B tumor suppressor locus, are strongly associated with coronary artery disease. However, the underlying mechanism of action remains unknown.We previously reported a congenic mouse model harboring an atherosclerosis susceptibility locus and the region of homology with the human 9p21 locus. Microarray and transcript-specific expression analyses showed markedly decreased Cdkn2a expression, including both p16(INK4a) and p19(ARF), but not Cdkn2b (p15(INK4b)), in macrophages derived from congenic mice compared with controls. Atherosclerosis studies in subcongenic strains revealed genetic complexity and narrowed 1 locus to a small interval including Cdkn2a/b. Bone marrow (BM) transplantation studies implicated myeloid lineage cells as the culprit cell type, rather than resident vascular cells. To directly test the role of BM-derived Cdkn2a transcripts in atherogenesis and inflammatory cell proliferation, we performed a transplantation study using Cdkn2a(-/-) cells in the Ldlr(-/-) mouse model. Cdkn2a-deficient BM recipients exhibited accelerated atherosclerosis, increased Ly6C proinflammatory monocytes, and increased monocyte/macrophage proliferation compared with controls.These data provide a plausible mechanism for accelerated atherogenesis in susceptible congenic mice, involving decreased expression of Cdkn2a and increased proliferation of monocyte/macrophages, with possible relevance to the 9p21 human locus.

Frequent homozygous deletions of the CDKN2A locus in somatic cancer tissues.

Project description:Here we present and describe data on homozygous deletions (HD) of human CDKN2 A and neighboring regions on the p arm of Chromosome 9 from cancer genome sequences deposited on the online Catalogue of Somatic Mutations in Cancer (COSMIC) database. Although CDKN2 A HDs have been previously described in many cancers, this is a pan-cancer report of these aberrations with the aim to map the distribution of the breakpoints. We find that HDs of this locus have a median range of 1,255,650bps. When the deletion breakpoints were mapped on both the telomere and centromere proximal sides of CDKN2A, most of the telomere proximal breakpoints concentrate to a narrow region of the chromosome which includes the gene MTAP.. The centromere proximal breakpoints of the deletions are distributed over a wider chromosomal region. Furthermore, gene expression analysis shows that the deletions that include the CDKN2A region also include the MTAP region and this observation is tissue independent. We propose a model that may explain the origin of the telomere proximal CDKN2A breakpoints Finally, we find that HD distributions for at least three other loci, RB1, SMAD4 and PTEN are also not random.

Islet biology, the CDKN2A/B locus and type 2 diabetes risk.

Project description:Type 2 diabetes, fuelled by the obesity epidemic, is an escalating worldwide cause of personal hardship and public cost. Diabetes incidence increases with age, and many studies link the classic senescence and ageing protein p16(INK4A) to diabetes pathophysiology via pancreatic islet biology. Genome-wide association studies (GWASs) have unequivocally linked the CDKN2A/B locus, which encodes p16 inhibitor of cyclin-dependent kinase (p16(INK4A)) and three other gene products, p14 alternate reading frame (p14(ARF)), p15(INK4B) and antisense non-coding RNA in the INK4 locus (ANRIL), with human diabetes risk. However, the mechanism by which the CDKN2A/B locus influences diabetes risk remains uncertain. Here, we weigh the evidence that CDKN2A/B polymorphisms impact metabolic health via islet biology vs effects in other tissues. Structured in a bedside-to-bench-to-bedside approach, we begin with a summary of the evidence that the CDKN2A/B locus impacts diabetes risk and a brief review of the basic biology of CDKN2A/B gene products. The main emphasis of this work is an in-depth look at the nuanced roles that CDKN2A/B gene products and related proteins play in the regulation of beta cell mass, proliferation and insulin secretory function, as well as roles in other metabolic tissues. We finish with a synthesis of basic biology and clinical observations, incorporating human physiology data. We conclude that it is likely that the CDKN2A/B locus influences diabetes risk through both islet and non-islet mechanisms.

CDKN2A and CDKN2B methylation in coronary heart disease cases and controls.

Project description:The aim of the present study was to investigate the association between cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2A (CDKN2A) and cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitor 2B (CDKN2B) methylation, and coronary heart disease (CHD), and to explore the interaction between methylation status and CHD clinical characteristics in Han Chinese patients. A total of 189 CHD (96 males, 93 females) and 190 well-matched non-CHD controls (96 males, 94 females) were recruited for the study. Methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction technology was used to examine gene promoter methylation status. Comparisons of methylation frequencies between CHD and non-CHD patients were carried out using the Chi-square test. Methylation levels of CDKN2A and CDKN2B genes were not found to be associated with the risk of CHD. However, the mean age of CDKN2A-hypermethylated participants was significantly lower than CDKN2A-unmethylated participants (58.73±5.88 vs. 62.62±5.36 years, adjusted P<0.001). Conversely, the mean age of CDKN2B-hypermethylated participants was significantly higher compared with CDKN2B-unmethylated participants (62.26±5.48 vs. 58.33±7.47 years, adjusted P=0.048). In addition, CDKN2B methylation frequencies were significantly increased in female participants compared with males (99.47 vs. 11.98%, P=0.032). In conclusion, the results indicated that CDKN2A and CDKN2B promoter methylation frequencies were significantly associated with age, and there was a gender dimorphism in CDKN2B methylation.
