Abstract

BACKGROUND: Deficiency or silence of TP53 is an early event in breast tumorigenesis. Aberrant methylation and mutation in regulatory regions were considered as crucial regulators of gene expression.

METHODS: Using multiplex-PCR and next-generation sequencing technology, we analyzed TP53 mutation spectrum in its promoter region. Using PCR target sequence enrichment and next-generation bisulfite sequencing technology, we analyzed the methylation profile of the promoter and 3'-end regions of TP53 gene in paired breast tumor and normal tissues from 120 breast cancer patients. The expression of TP53 and the flanking gene ATP1B2 was explored with qPCR method in the same cohort.

RESULTS: No promoter mutation of TP53 gene was found in the cohort of the 120 breast cancer patients. The 3'-end of TP53 gene was hyper-methylated (average 78.71%) compared with the promoter region (average less than 1%) in breast tumor tissues. TP53 was significantly lower expressed (P = 1.68E-15) and hyper-methylated in 3'-end (P = 1.82E-18) in tumor. Negative cis correlation was found between the TP53 expression and its 3'-end methylation (P = 9.02E-8, R = 0.337). TP53 expression was significantly associated with PR status (P = 0.0128), Ki67 level (P = 0.0091), and breast cancer subtypes (P = 0.0109). TP53 3'-end methylation and expression showed a good performance in discriminating breast cancer and normal tissues with an AUC of 0.930.

CONCLUSIONS: The 3'-end methylation of TP53 might be a crucial regulator for its expression in breast cancer, suggesting that TP53 3'-end hyper-methylation associated with its lower expression could be a potential biomarker for breast cancer diagnosis.
