Abstract:
Objective To investigate the relevance between protein expression and methylation of MG-MT and hMSH2 in glioma patimts.Methods Immunohistochemical and methylation specific PCR were adopted respectively to test on 275 cases of glioma patients for the protein expression and methylation situation of MGMT and hMSH2.Results The negative protein expression rate of MGMT and hMSH 2 in the tissue of brain golima were 47.2% and 62.5% respectively;the occurrence of methylation in gene promoter region were accordingly 41.8% and 22.4%.Statistical analysis revealed that MGMT promoter methylation in peripheral blood gene groups was related with the protein negative expression of tumor tissue (P<0.05),while there was no relationship between the protein expression of hMSH2 and its gene promoter methylation(P>0.05).Conclusion The meth-ylation of MGMT is a common molecular situation in the generation of brain glioma ,which may be connected with that of tumor.However,hMSH2 promoter methylation might not the main reason for inactivation of hMSH 2 pro-tein,there may be other important factors affecting its expression .
