[Effect of genetics, epigenetics and variations in the transcriptional expression of cadherin-E in breast cancer susceptibility].
Biomédica : Revista del Instituto Nacional de Salud 2016 December 2
INTRODUCTION: Cadherin-E (CDH1) is an important regulator of epithelial-mesenchymal transition, invasion and metastasis in many carcinomas. However, germinal epimutations and mutations effect in breast cancer susceptibility is not clear.
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate rs334558 polymorphism, promoter methylation status and CDH1 expression profile in breast cancer patients.
MATERIALS AND METHODS: We collected peripheral blood samples from 102 breast cancer patients and 102 healthy subjects. The identification of rs334558 polymorphism was performed using PCR-RFLP, while methylation-specific PCR (MSP) and methylation-sensitive high-resolution melting (MS-HRM) were used to explore CDH1 methylation status; finally, CDH1 transcriptional expression profile was evaluated using RT-qPCR.
RESULTS: We found no association between rs334558 polymorphism and breast cancer. Aberrant promoter methylation profile was found in breast cancer patients and it was related with early cancer stages. CDH1 down-regulation was significantly associated with metastasis and promoter methylation.
CONCLUSION: CDH1 alterations were associated with invasion and metastasis in breast cancer. Our results offer further evidence of CDH1 relevance in breast cancer development and progression.
