AIM:To investigate the methylation status of secreted protein acidic and rich in cysteine(SPARC) in human hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) and evaluate its clinical implication.METHODS:The methylation status of SPARC was analyzed in one HCC cell line(SMMC-7721) and 60 pairs of HCC and corresponding nontumorous tissues by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction and bisulfite sequencing.The expression of SPARC mRNA and protein were examined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry,respectively.The correlations between the methylation status and the gene expression,the clinicopathological parameters,as well as the prognosis after surgery were analyzed.RESULTS:In the SMMC-7721 cell line,the loss of SPARC expression was correlated with the aberrant methylation and could be reactivated by the demethylating agent 5-aza-2’-deoxycytidine.Methylation frequency of SPARC in HCC was significantly higher than that in the corresponding nontumorous tissues(45/60 vs 7/60,P < 0.001),and it was correlated with the pathological classification(P = 0.019).The downregulation of the SPARC mRNA expression in HCC was correlated with the SPARC methylation(P = 0.040).The patients with methylated SPARC had a poorer overall survival than those without methylated SPARC(28.0 mo vs 41.0 mo,P = 0.043).CONCLUSION:Aberrant methylation is an important mechanism for SPARC inactivation in HCC and SPARC methylation may be a promising biomarker for the diagnosis and prognosis of HCC.

什么是慢性胃炎?慢性胃炎其实是一种炎症性的病变,通常同时由多种病因引起,是胃黏膜受到损害后产生炎症,从而进一步导致的炎症性病变,患有慢性胃炎的患者患上胃癌的概率远远大于普通人。慢性胃炎通常是由幽门螺旋杆菌感染导致的,且随着年龄的不断增长,幽门螺旋杆菌感染的几率会不断升高。
