USP44, ZNF454, and GPRC5B ctDNA Methylation Markers in Breast Cancer: Limited Clinical Relevance for Disease Monitoring and Tumor Characteristics.
Purpose: This study aimed to identify breast cancer-specific circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA) methylation markers that correspond to tissue DNA methylation.
Methods: Using The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database, we selected breast cancer-specific DNA methylation markers. The methylation and expression patterns of candidate genes were analyzed in breast cancer cell lines and tissue samples. We also assessed the methylation status in ctDNA obtained from breast cancer patients and examined associations with the clinicopathological features.
Results: Among candidate genes with breast cancer-specific methylation patterns, USP44, ZNF454, and GPRC5B were selected. The methylation status and expression of selected genes varied by molecular subtype of cancer in the cell line. In tissue samples, expression of all three genes was generally lower in breast cancer than in controls. ctDNA methylation patterns showed no significant change before and after treatment for each candidate gene. Correlations between gene expression and DNA methylation status or clinicopathological characteristics in cancer tissues differed among genes.
Conclusion: Further studies are needed for clinical application of liquid biopsy using methylation analysis for ctDNA according to individual characteristics for breast cancer.
期刊介绍:
Asia–Pacific Journal of Clinical Oncology is a multidisciplinary journal of oncology that aims to be a forum for facilitating collaboration and exchanging information on what is happening in different countries of the Asia–Pacific region in relation to cancer treatment and care. The Journal is ideally positioned to receive publications that deal with diversity in cancer behavior, management and outcome related to ethnic, cultural, economic and other differences between populations. In addition to original articles, the Journal publishes reviews, editorials, letters to the Editor and short communications. Case reports are generally not considered for publication, only exceptional papers in which Editors find extraordinary oncological value may be considered for review. The Journal encourages clinical studies, particularly prospectively designed clinical trials.
