AbstractThe methylation status of genes in hydatidiform mole and choriocarcinoma and its significance is relatively unexplored. We investigated the methylation status of the promoter regions of six genes, p16, HIC-1, TIMP3, GSTP1, death-associated protein kinase (DAPK), and E-cadherin in 54 hydatidiform moles, five choriocarcinomas, and 10 first trimester placenta by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Immunohistochemical expression of p16, TIMP3, and E-cadherin, and quantitative real-time RT-PCR of p16 was also performed. Among the six genes examined, the promoter region of four genes (E-cadherin, HIC-1, p16, TIMP3) in choriocarcinoma and three genes (E-cadherin, HIC-1, p16) in hydatidiform mole exhibited aberrant methylation whereas none was hypermethylated in normal placenta. There was a significant correlation between methylation and reduced expression of p16, E-cadherin, and TIMP3 (P < 0.001). Fifteen of the 54 patients with hydatidiform mole developed gestational trophoblastic neoplasia requiring chemotherapy. Promoter hypermethylation of p16 alone, or combined with E-cadherin, was significantly correlated to such development (P = 0.001, 0.0005, respectively). Hypermethylation of multiple genes, especially p16, might be related to the subsequent development of gestational trophoblastic neoplasia.
