자궁경부편평상피세포암에서 MGMT (O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase) promoter 과메칠화에 대한 연구 = Promoter hypermethylation of MGMT (O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase) in cervical squamous cell carcinoma

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

Objective: The purpose of this study is to evaluate the correlation between promoter hypermethylation of DNA repair gene O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) and clinicopathologic characteristics in uterine cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Methods: Pyrosequencing was used to analyze the MGMT promoter methylation status of 34 uterine cervical squamous cell carcinoma. 26 patients were stage Ib and 8 patients were stage IIa. Radical hysterectomy with pelvic lymph node dissection was done in all patients. The clinicopathologic characteristics were analyzed retrospectively. The correlation between hypermethylation and clinical characteristics was assessed using Mann-Whitney U-test or Fisher`s exact test. Results: Hypermethylation was detected in 3 of 34 (8.8%) cancer tissues. We investigated the correlation between hypermethylation and clinicopathologic characteristics including age, stage, menstrual status, metastasis of lymph node, invasion of resection margin, size of tumor, lymph-vascular space invasion and invasion of parametrial tissue. Among these characteristics, only invasion of parametrial tissue was related to hypermethylation (p=0.03) and the others were not. Conclusion: Promoter hypermethylation of MGMT gene was associated with invasion of parametrial tissue only.
