Epigenetic Inactivation of the Chromosomal Stability Control Genes BRCA1, BRCA2, and XRCC5 in Non–Small Cell Lung Cancer

Abstract: Purpose: Lung cancer cells frequently exhibit marked chromosome instability. We postulated that alterations of the double-strand break repair genes (BRCA1, BRCA2, and XRCC5) might be involved in lung cancer. Patients and Methods: We examined the loss of protein and mRNA expression and the 5 ¶CpG hypermethylation and allelic imbalance of the BRCA1, BRCA2, and XRCC5 genes in 98 non^small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) samples. Anchorage-dependent growth after reexpression of these genes was examined in a lung cancer c… Show more

“…Reactions were carried out in a volume of 25 ml with 1 ml of cDNA and 0.25 pmol of primers in a DNA Thermal Cycler. The relative levels of gene expression were studied by multiplex RT-PCR assay as previously described (Wang et al, 2005;Lee et al, 2007).…”

“…Its genetic basis is unknown but appears to involve multiple types of chromosomal abnormalities (5,(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14). Central mechanisms underlying MPM are unclear, although MPM tumors evoke a strong inflammatory response thought to contribute to tumorigenesis (15).…”

“…As described in previous studies, BRCA1 expression levels were associated with promoter hypermethylation status. 19,26 Correlation Between Disease Outcome and BRCA1 Methylation Status Demographics and clinical characteristics according to BRCA1 methylation status are shown in Table 2. There was no statistically significant relationship between BRCA1 methylation status and any of the clinicopathological features that we analyzed.…”

“…15 In addition, germline mutations in BRCA1 are a statistically significant risk factor in the prognosis of pancreatic and cervical cancers. 16 Several studies have investigated the clinical relevance of messenger RNA expression 17 and methylation of the BRCA1 promoter 18,19 in lung cancer, with emphasis primarily on responses to chemotherapy. 20 The relationship between epigenetic modifications of BRCA1 and the prognosis of curatively resected stage I NSCLC has not been elucidated.…”
