Suppression of the protein tyrosine phosphatase receptor type O gene (PTPRO) by methylation in hepatocellular carcinomas

Abstract: A diet lacking folic acid and choline and low in methionine (folate/methyl deficient diet, FMD diet) fed to rats is known to produce preneoplastic nodules (PNNs) after 36 weeks and hepatocellular carcinomas (tumors) after 54 weeks. FMD diet-induced tumors exhibit global hypomethylation and regional hypermethylation. Restriction landmark genome scanning analysis with methylationsensitive enzyme NotI (RLGS-M) of genomic DNA isolated from control livers, PNNs and tumor tissues was performed to identify the genes … Show more

“…17,18 In human HCC, a number of methylation-induced inactivation of genes, such as E-cadherin, p16INK4a, 14-3-3 sigma, SOCS-1 and DLC-1, have already been documented. [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27] However, there is no information on the methylation-mediated silencing of Apo D in HCC. Therefore, we first analyzed the pharmacological induction of Apo D by 5-Azacitidine in human liver cancer cell lines.…”

“…17,68 In this context, it is noteworthy that methyl deficient diet can lead to both global DNA hypomethylation and localized or regional hypermethylation of genes such as tumor suppressor genes. 33,69 The most accepted concept is to envisage early changes in the hypomethylation of genes such as oncogenes followed by hypermethylation of genes such as tumor suppressor genes during cell transformation or in tumorigenesis, both processes resulting in gene deregulation. It remains to be determined as to what fraction of tumor incidence is caused by alteration in genomic methylation.…”

“…This observation set the stage for many studies in the ensuing decades that explored reactivation of suppressed genes in different cell types, particularly cancer cells (for reviews, see Baylin, 46 Karpf and Jones, 47 and Jain 48 ). Reactivation of the suppressed genes can also occur in animals treated with 5-AzaC, 33,49,50 which rules out the possibility of any artifacts produced in cell culture. Epigenetic modification alters the expression of a gene without affecting DNA sequence.…”
