Abstract

Objective: Epigenetic modulation of gene expression by DNA promoter methylation may contribute to acquired resistance to chemotherapy in cancer cells. Decitabine (5-aza-2’deoxycytidine), a demethylating agent, may act synergistically with standard chemotherapy regimens to activate epigenetically silenced genes. In the present in vitro study, it was investigated the effect of gene methylation level after treatment with decitabine and combination of decitabine with anthracycline-based therapeutics (5-fluorouracil plus epirubicine plus cyclophosphamide; FEC) on breast cancer cells (MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231). Methods: The effect of decitabine and its combination with FEC on different genes methylation level has been tested in MDA-MB-231 and MCF-7 human breast cancer cell lines. The effect of decitabine on the cell viability was assayed by MTT assay. Methylight real-time PCR and methylation specific PCR were carried out to determine the methylation status of certain genes: DAPK, TMS1, MGMT and the global methylation marker LINE-1.Results: The LINE-1 methylation status significantly decreased in both cell lines after treatment with the combination of decitabine with FEC. In MDA-MB-231 cells, methylation of the TMS1 and the MGMT gene promoter was significantly reduced by FEC plus decitabine while no effect was observed in MCF-7 cells. Conclusion: Anthracycline-based therapy regimens in combination with demethylating agents such as decitabine may affect chemotherapy outcome by modulation of apoptosisrelevant genes by methylation. More importantly, this modulation seems to be dependent on the cell type

Özet

Amaç: DNA promotör metilasyonu yoluyla gen ekspresyonunun epigenetik modülasyonu kanser hücrelerinde kemoterapiye karşı dirence neden olabilir. Bir demetile edici ajan olan desitabin (5-aza-2'-deoksisitidin) epigenetikle susturulmuş genleri yeniden aktive ederek standart kemoterapi rejimleri ile sinerjistik etki gösterebilir. Bu in vitro çalışmada, desitabin ve desitabinin antrasiklin-bazlı tedavi (FEC:5-Florourasil+Epirubisin+Siklofosfamid) ile kombinasyonunun meme kanseri hücrelerinde gen metilasyon seviyelerine etkisi araştırıldı.Metot: Desitabinin tek başına ve FEC ile kombinasyonunun farklı genlerin metilasyon seviyeleri üzerine etkisi insan MDA-MB-231 ve MCF-7 meme kanseri hücre soylarında araştırıldı. Desitabinin hücre canlılığı üzerine etkisi MTT canlılık testi ile çalışıldı. DAPK, TMS1, MGMT ve genel metilasyon göstergesi olan LINE-1 genlerinin metilasyon seviyelerini belirlemek için Methylight realtime PCR ve metilasyon spesifik PCR kullanıldı.Bulgular: LINE-1 metilasyon seviyesi desitabin ve FEC kombinasyon tedavisinden sonra her iki hücre soyunda da anlamlı olarak azaldı. MDA-MB-231 hücrelerinde, desitabin ve FEC kombinasyonunun TMS1 ve MGMT gen promotöründe metilasyon seviyelerinde azalmaya sebep olduğu gözlenirken aynı etki MCF-7 hücrelerinde gözlenmedi. Sonuç: Antrasiklin-bazlı kemoterapinin, desitabin gibi bir demetilasyon ajanı ile kombinasyonu metilasyon aracılığıyla apoptozisle ilişkili genlerin modülasyonu neden olarak kemoterapi sonucunu etkileyebilir. Daha da önemlisi, bu modülasyonun hücre tipine bağlı olarak gerçekleşebileceği görülmektedir
