Our study on 30 patients with breast cancer Vietnam has identified miRNA gene promoter methylation in 13 samples 34a 4 u and adjacent samples, with the rate of methylation in turn is 43.3% and 13, 3%. Besides, in 30 pairs of tumor samples and 30 samples 29 samples adjacent product MSP primers specific for MiR34a UF / R, ie miRNA gene promoter methylation 34a not. This is explained by the samples, healthy cells and cancer cells MSP technique should still be DNA methylation detection. Additionally, miRNA gene promoter methylation 34a can only occur in one allele in malignant cells should have discovered the gene promoter sequence is not methylated.
Refer to the documentation, we find that there is very little published about miRNA gene promoter region methylation in samples 34a. According to our knowledge, to date only one study analyzing miRNA gene promoter methylation pattern 34a in 10 breast cancer patients with methylation rate of 60% [35]. Analyzed the difference in the ratio between the sample methylation cancer and adjacent samples, we found that this ratio may vary significantly (p = 0.008, Fisher test of). Besides disease, 30 patients were analyzed samples of 24 patients with carcinoma in the form of infiltration pipes - the kind most common breast cancer, in which the first and the 12/22 samples detected methyl 2 34a miRNA gene promoter goods; 2 of 3 samples are both undetectable methylation. Although the sample is small and mainly concentrated form into a form of breast cancer, but the initial results show that miRNA gene-silencing phenomenon 34a is a common phenomenon in the process of formation and development developing breast cancer. CpG island methylation in the promoter region 34a miRNA genes have the potential to become the molecular marker to help diagnose breast cancer and the prognosis for patients with Vietnam.
Analysis of gene expression of two genes Axl and landing is subject MDM4 post-transcriptional control of miRNA 34a, initially showed miRNA gene promoter methylation 34a associated with an increased expression of the two genes. This is entirely consistent with previous studies showing miRNA 34a away reduces the number of genes mRNA and MDM4 Axl [24, 25]. Axl gene has an important role for the metastasis of cancer cells, while genetically conditioned MDM4 active participation of p53 - a tumor suppressor gene classics were studied. Inactivation of the p53 gene is genetically the most commonly detected in human cancer cases [30]. Therefore, miRNA gene silencing by methylation 34a increases the expression of two genes Axl and MDM4 can be the cause of the occurrence, progression and metastasis of breast cancer. Thus, early detection of miRNA gene promoter methylation 34a not only help, but also help the early diagnosis of breast cancer prognosis. Increased expression of miRNA in cancer cells 34a may help inhibit activity of a target gene, thereby inhibiting the growth and metastasis of cancer cells.
