Abstract:
Objective To study the effects of 5-azacytidine’s demethylation for P16 gene on hemangioma cell’s proliferation and apoptosis.Methods Bisulfite sequencing PCR was applied to detect P16 gene′s promoter methylation status in 5-azacytidine treated and untreated EOMA cell line.RT-PCR and western blot were used to detect the P16 gene mRNA and protein expressions.Flow cytometry was used to detect cell proliferation, cell cycle and cell apoptosis.The differences of P16 gene′s promoter methylation status,mRNA and protein expressions,cell proliferation,cell cycle and apoptosis in two groups were compared. Results The methylation rates in 1st and 13th CGs were 0%after 5-azacytidine treatment in EOMA hemangioma cell line,which were lower than in untreated cells.The mRNA and protein expressions increased after 5-azacytidine treatment,which were significantly higher than in untreated cells.The absorbance,S phase and G2/M phase and PI after 5-azacytidine treatment were lower than untreated cells,while the G0/G1 phase and apoptosis rates were higher.Conclusion The P16 gene promoter is hypermethylated in hemangioma cells with silent gene expressions.5-azacytidine could reverse P16 gene′s promoter methylation and silent gene expressions,which inhibit hemangioma cell’s proliferation and promote apoptosis.
