Methods： Methylation-specific PCR（MSP） was performed to analyze methylation status of SFRP1 and SFRP2 in a blinded fashion in tumor tissues and in matched stool samples from 39 patients with primary CRC, 34 patients with adenomas, 17 patients with hyperplastic polyps and 20 endoscopically normal subjects as normal controls. Simultaneously we analyzed the correlation of hypermethylated SFRP1 and SFRP2 with the clinicopathological features of CRC. Results：Hypermethylated SFRP1 was detected in 92.3%, 76.5%, 47.1% of tissue samples and in 89.7%, 64.7%, 35.3% of matched fecal samples from CRC, adenoma and hyperplastic polyp, respectively. Hypermethylated SFRP2 was detected in 87.2%, 67.6%, 35.3% of tissue samples and in 82.1%, 55.9%, 29.4% of matched fecal samples from CRC, adenoma and hyperplastic polyp, respectively. Of these two genes, at least one hypermethylated was 94.9%, 82.4%, 52.9% in tissue samples and 92.3%,73.5%, 47.1% in matched fecal samples from CRC, adenoma and hyperplastic polyp, respectively. In contrast, no hypermethylated SFRP1 and SFRP2 were detected in mucosa tissues of normal controls, only 2 cases of fecal samples was detected with hypermethylated SFRP1 and another 1 case was detected with hypermethylated SFRP2. Moreover, no significant associations were observed between hypermethylated SFRP1,SFRP2 and clinicopathological features of CRC. Conclusion： Hypermethylation of SFRP1 and SFRP2 in feces are novel epigenetic biomarkers of CRC and carded high potential for the remote detection of CRC as non-invasive screening method, and combined analysis of hypermethylated SFRP1 and SFRP2 in fecal could further increase the detection rate of CRC and premalignant lesions.展开更多

Our previous study suggested that SFRP2 was a potential target of microRNA （miRNA）-I/206, which was considered as myomiRs. To further explore the biological function and regulation mechanisms of the SFRP2 gene in porcine skeletal muscle development, we first analyzed the sequence structure of the porcine SFRP2 gene. Subsequently, we detected its tissue distribution in adult Tongcheng pigs （a Chinese indigenous breed） and investigated its dynamic expression in developmental skeletal muscle （13 prenatal and 7 postnatal time points）in Tongcheng pigs. An interaction analysis between SFRP2 and myomiRs was also performed. The results showed that the expression pattern of the SFRP2 varied greatly across diverse tissues. It exhibited abundant expression in prenatal skeletal muscle and peaked at 55 days post coitus （E55）, and had a lower expression in postnatal skeletal muscle, indicating that the SFRP2 gene might affect porcine embryonic skeletal muscle development. Co-expression analysis revealed that the expression levels of SFRP2 correlated negatively with miRNA-1 （t=-0.570, P-value=0.009） and miRNA-206 （r=-0.546, P-value=0.013）, but positively with SFRP1 （r=0.613, P-value=0.004）. The bioinformatics analysis and dual luciferase assay verified that the SFRP2 was a putative target of miRNA-1/206 in pigs. Therefore, this study is helpful for understanding the biological function and mo- lecular regulation of the SFRP2 gene during porcine skeletal muscle development.展开更多
