摘要
为了探讨LRP15基因在急性白血病(AL)患者中的表达情况及其与启动子区CpG岛甲基化的关系,采用甲基化特异PCR(MSP)方法检测AL患者LRP15基因启动子区甲基化状态,并用RT-PCR方法检测该基因在这些患者中的表达情况。结果发现,LRP15基因在缓解与非缓解状态白血病患者中的表达分别为47.6%和16.7%,其启动子区甲基化比例分别为38.1%和72.2%。LRP15基因的表达与其启动子区甲基化之间无相关(P=0.0087)。结论:AL患者LRP15基因启动子区的甲基化不完全是导致LRP15基因表达沉默的原因。
To investigate the relationship between LRP15 gene promoter region methylation and its gene expression in acute leukemia patients, the status of LRP15 gene promoter region methylation was detected by MS-PCR and the gene expression was detected by RT-PCR in bone marrow samples from leukemia patients. The results indicated that the LRP15 gene expression was 47, 6% in complete remission (CR) patients and 16.7% in non-CR patients respectively, while LRP15 gene promoter region methylation was 38.1% in CR group and 72, 2% in non-CR group respectively. No relationship was found between LRP15 gene promoter region methylation and its expression (P = 0. 0087). It is conclu- ded that the methylation in LRP15 gene promoter region may not be the only reason for LRP15 gene silence,
