| Abstract: | DNA methylation plays a significant role in tumor progression. In this study, we used CpG microarray and differential methylation hybridization approaches to identify low density lipoprotein receptor-related protein 1B (LRP1B) as a novel epigenetic target in gastric cancer. LRP1B was hypermethylated in four gastric cancer cell lines, and low LRP1B mRNA expression was associated with high methylation levels in gastric cancer cell lines. Addition of a DNA methylation inhibitor (5-Aza-dC) restored the mRNA expression of LRP1B in these cell lines, indicating that DNA methylation is involved in regulating LRP1B expression. In 45 out of 74 (61%) clinical samples, LRP1B was highly methylated; LRP1B mRNA expression was significantly lower in 15 out of 19 (79%, P < 0.001) gastric tumor tissues than in corresponding adjacent normal tissues. In addition, ectopic expression of mLRP1B4 in gastric cancer cell lines suppressed cell growth, colony formation and tumor formation in nude mice. These results collectively indicate that LRP1B is a functional tumor suppressor gene in gastric cancer and that is regulated by DNA methylation. |
