Abstract
Purpose
The aim of this study was to clarify DNA methylation profiles determining the clinicopathological diversity of urothelial carcinomas.
Methods
Genome-wide DNA methylation analysis was performed using the Infinium HumanMethylation450 BeadChip in 46 paired samples of non-cancerous urothelium (N) and corresponding cancerous tissue (T), and 26 samples of normal control urothelium obtained from patients without urothelial carcinomas (C). For genes of interest, correlation between DNA methylation and mRNA expression was examined using the Cancer Genome Atlas database. In addition, the role of a selected target for cancer-relevant endpoints was further examined in urothelial carcinoma cell lines.
Results
The genes showing significant differences in DNA methylation levels between papillary carcinomas and more aggressive non-papillary (nodular) carcinomas were accumulated in signaling pathways participating in cell adhesion and cytoskeletal remodeling. Five hundred ninety-six methylation sites showed differences in DNA methylation levels between papillary and nodular carcinomas. Of those sites, that were located in CpG-islands around transcription start site, 5′-untranslated region or 1st exon, 16 genes exhibited inverse correlations between DNA methylation and mRNA expression levels. Among the latter, only the KLF11 gene showed papillary T sample-specific DNA hypermethylation in comparison to C and N samples. The DNA methylation levels of KLF11 were not significantly different between T samples and N samples or T samples and C samples for patients with papillo-nodular or nodular carcinomas. Knockdown experiments using the urothelial carcinoma cell lines HT1376 and 5637, which are considered models for papillary carcinoma, revealed that KLF11 participates in altering the adhesiveness of cells to laminin-coated dishes, although cell growth was not affected.
Conclusion
These data indicate that DNA hypermethylation of KLF11 may participate in the generation of papillary urothelial carcinomas through induction of aberrant cancer cell adhesion to the basement membrane.
