Frequent DNA methylation of MiR‐129‐2 and its potential clinical implication in hepatocellular carcinoma

Abstract: Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) is a highly malignant tumor with poor prognosis and high mortality due to a lack of effective medical treatment and apparent early stage symptoms. Understanding molecular mechanism of cancer development is crucial for HCC diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment. Recently, microRNAs have been shown to play an important role in carcinogenesis, being regulated by DNA methylation in several cases. In this study, a whole genome approach was used to identify methylation-regulated miRNAs in… Show more

“…miR-129 down-regulation is tightly associated with disease stages and progression, and its down-regulation is attributed to hypermethylation of its promoter (Yu et al, 2013). Similar down-regulation in miR-129 was also observed in hepatocellular carcinoma (Lu et al, 2013;Chen, et al, 2013). These results suggest that miR-129 plays a crucial role in tumorigenesis.…”

“…One investigation showed that miR-129-2 was frequently hypermethylated in HCC cells and clinical samples, offering a potential methylation marker for HCC diagnosis [10]. Another study identified the down-regulated expression of miR-129-2 in HCC tissues in a manner reversely correlated with the level of miR-129-2 methylation.…”

“…Human miR-129-1 is among the seven miRNAs recognized in genomic regions near FRA7H, one of the fragile sites in chromosome 7q32 which is frequently deleted in some solid tumors [9]. MiR-129 family members are generally recognized as tumor suppressors with decreased expression in different tumors [10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. However, accumulating evidence indicates that miR-129 could play a dual role in tumorigenesis.…”
