Project description:Gene methylation profiling of immortalized human mesenchymal stem cells comparing HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs cells with human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT)- and HPV E6/E7-transfected MSCs. hTERT may increase gene methylation in MSCs. Goal was to determine the effects of different transfected genes on global gene methylation in MSCs.

Genome-wide DNA methylation signature in lung adenocarcinomas has prognostic impact

Project description:Purpose: DNA methylation alterations are early events in tumorigenesis and important in the regulation of gene expression in cancer cells. Lung cancer has in general a poor prognosis, and a deeper insight into the epigenetic landscape in lung adenocarcinoma tumors and its prognostic implications is needed. Experimental Design: We determined whole-genome DNA methylation profiles of 164 lung adenocarcinoma samples and 19 samples of matched normal lung tissue samples using the Illumina Infinium 450K array. The methylation levels were correlated with gene expression levels analyzed by the Agilent 60K mRNA expression array. Methylation changes were studied specifically in tumors from never-smoking patients, and in tumors with mutations in the EGFR-, KRAS- or TP53 genes, and survival analyses were performed. Results: We identified a large number of differentially methylated CpGs in lung adenocarcinoma tissue, and different methylation profiles in tumors from smokers and never-smokers. Specific methylation profiles were observed in tumors with mutations in the EGFR-, KRAS- or TP53 gene. Both positive and negeative correlations between DNA methylation levels and mRNA expression levels were seen. Methylation profiles of the tumor samples identified clusters of patients with distinct prognosis. A prognostic index based on the methylation levels of 33 CpGs was established, and validated in an independent cohort of lung adenocarcinoma patients from the TCGA project. Among the CpGs in the prognostic signature, some were localized in the HOX B and HOX C gene clusters. Conclusions: Methylation differences mirror biological important features the etiology of lung adenocarcinomas and influence prognosis.
