We identified at least 7 transcription variants of △DNMT3B as a result of alternative pre-mRNA processing. The aim of this study was to detect the expression pattern of ,△DNMT3B variants in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) and to explore the role of △DNMT3B variants in regulating the promoter-specific DNA methylation. Methods Specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR) primer sets were designed to distinguish individual △DNMT3B variants according to their splicing patterns. The expressions of seven △DNMT3B variants were measured in 13 cell lines, 109 NSCLC patients, and the corresponding normal lung tissues using reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR). The status of the p16 and RASSFIA promoter methylations in the tumors was detected using a methylation specific PCR (MSP). The relationships of the expression patterns of the △DNMT3B variants were analyzed by observing the status of p16 and RASSFIA promoter methylations in the tumors. The siRNA and the anti-sense oligo-dioxynucleotide specifically targeting the junction of exon 5 and 7 of △DNMT3B were designed and transfected by lipofectmane 2000 into H1299 and H358 cell lines. RASSFIA promoter methylation from cells treated by siRNA-△DNMT3B4/2 was detected using MSP and Bisulfite sequencing, and Western blotting was used to △DNMT3B. Cell growth and cell cycle distribution were measured flowcytometry, respectively. detect the protein expression of DNMT3B and by applying real-time cell growth analysis and Results △DNMT3B variants, not DNMT3B, were the predominant transcripts in both NSCLC cell lines and primary tumors. The expression of △DNMT3B4 strongly correlated to the promoter methylation status of RASSFIA in a primary NSCLC. The knockdown of △DNMT3B4/2 by RNA-interference or anti-sense approaches resulted in a complete demethylation of RASSFIA promoter with the reactivation of a RASSFIA gene expression in less than 12 hours, but no effect resulted from the p16INK4a promoter in the NSCLC cell lines. Conclusions These results demonstrate an important role of ,△DNMT3B4/2 in the maintenance of promoter-specific DNA methylation in a cell type specific manner and provide a novel cell model for the study of the regulation of replication-independent DNA methylation.展开更多

Previous studies indicated that certain EGFR mutations were associated with response and progression free survival following platinum based chemotherapy. Our recent studies have identified that EGFR genotypes in the tumour tissues were not associated with response to the first-line chemotherapy in Chinese patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). In this study, we investigated associations of EGFR genotypes from plasma of patients with advanced NSCLC and response to first-line chemotherapy and prognosis. Methods We enrolled 145 advanced NSCLC patients who had received first-line chemotherapy in our department. We examined plasma EGFR genotypes for these patients and associations of EGFR mutations with response to chemotherapy and clinical outcomes. Results There were 54 patients with known EGFR mutations and 91 cases of wild types. No significant difference was detected in the response rate to first-line chemotherapy between mutation carriers and wild-type patients (37.0% vs. 31.9%). The median survival time and 1-, 2-year survival rates were higher in mutation carriers than wild-types (24 months vs. 18 months, 85.7% vs. 65.7% and 43.7% vs. 25.9%, P=0.047). Clinical stage (Ⅳvs. Ⅲb), response to the first-line chemotherapy (partial vs. no) and EGFR genotype were independent prognostic factors. Conclusion Plasma EGFR mutations in the Chinese patients with advanced NSCLC is not a predictor for the response to first-line chemotherapy, but an independent prognostic factor indicating longer survival.展开更多
