Summary: | CDKN1A
is a tumor suppressor gene involved in gastric carcinogenesis and is a potential target for histone deacetylase inhibitor-based therapies. Upregulation of
CDKN1A
is generally observed in several cell lines after histone deacetylase inhibitor treatment; however, little is known about the histone acetylation status associated with this gene in clinical samples, including gastric tumor tissue samples. Therefore, our goal was to quantify the H3K9 and H4K16 acetylation levels associated with three
CDKN1A
regions in 21 matched pairs of gastric adenocarcinoma and corresponding adjacent non-tumor samples by chromatin immunoprecipitation and to correlate these data with the gene expression. Our results demonstrated that the −402, −20, and +182
CDKN1A
regions showed a significantly increased acetylation level in at least one of the histones evaluated
(p
< 0.05, for all comparisons), and these levels were positively correlated in gastric tumors. However, an inverse correlation was detected between both H3K9 and H4K16 acetylation at the −402
CDKN1A
region and mRNA levels in gastric tumors (
r
= −0.51,
p
= 0.02;
r
= −0.60,
p
< 0.01, respectively). Furthermore, increased H4K16 acetylation at the −20
CDKN1A
region was associated with gastric tumors of patients without lymph node metastasis (
p
= 0.04). These results highlight the complexity of these processes in gastric adenocarcinoma and contribute to a better understanding of
CDKN1A
regulation in carcinogenesis. |
