Methylation of survivin and its expression in human esophageal squamous cell carcinoma
Objective To detect the expression of survivin in the tissues of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) and analyze the methylation status of CpG island in the promoter of survivin. Methods RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of survivin in 5 ESCC cell lines (EC9706
KYSE150
KYSE450
EC109 and TE-1)
and 84 samples of paired carcinoma tissues and para-carcinoma tissues. The methylation status of survivin was detected by using bisulfite sequencing PCR (BSP). Results The results of RT-PCR showed that survivin was expressed in all the 5 ESCC cell lines and 65.5% carcinoma tissues but not in para-carcinoma tissues. However
CpG methylation of the survivin promoter was not detected in all the cell lines
and 20 pairs of carcinoma and para-carcinoma tissues. Conclusion Survivin is overexpressed in ESCC
however this abnormality is not regulated by its promoter methylation.
