Objective To investigate the influence of hypoxia on the methylation level of genomic DNA in human small cell lung cancer H446 cells. Methods H446 cells were cultured under the hypoxic condition (3%O
2
) for different time periods (0
12
24
48 and 72 h respectively). Those cultured under normal condition served as control. The genomic DNA methylation level was detected by methylation sensitivity random primers PCR (MA-AS-PCR) after DNA extraction. Results Compared with the normoxic control group
the quantity and fluorescence intensity of amplified products of hypoxic experimental group were much higher
especially after 24 h. This indicated that the genomic DNA methylation level in the H446 cells was signi
ficantly changed when were treated by hypoxia
and represented mainly as multifocal abnormal methylation. Conclusion Hypoxia might be one of the key causer inducing unbalanced methylation in cancer cells.
