abstract = {Overall DNA methylation status was studied in a group of 28 sporadic human endometrial carcinomas (ECs) using the [32P]-postlabeling technique. Moreover, expression of the DNA mismatch repair proteins (hMLH1 and hMSH2) was investigated in ECs using immunohistochemistry. Mean 5-methyldeoxycytosine (m5dC) content in the studied group was 3.48+/-0.37% (range, 2.89-4.12%). The mean m5dC scores were significantly different between early (3.35+/-0.33%) and advanced (3.66+/-0.36%) endometrial neoplasms (chi2-test; p=0.03). There was a markedly increased overall DNA methylation with the degree of histological differentiation and with the infiltration of the myometrium (p<0.05). Loss of hMLH1 and hMSH2 expression was reported in 7 (25%) and 5 (18%) tumors, respectively, but the immunoreactivity did not correlate with the known clinicopathological variables of cancer. In addition, no obvious correlation was found between global m5dC content and the lack of hMLH1 and hMSH2 protein expression in human uterine tumors (p=0.97 and p=0.19 for hMLH1 and hMSH2, respectively; Spearman's rank correlation test). Our results clearly show that alterations in global DNA methylation may influence tumor progression, but they are not directly associated with the inactivation of the mismatch-repair machinery in sporadic human ECs.},

abstract = {OBJECTIVES: A level of DNA methylation plays an important role in regulation of cellular gene's expression. Estimation of DNA methylation level in endometrial neoplastic tissues compared to normal endometrial samples was the aim of this study. DESIGN: It was to be shown, that changes in methylation rate in promotory regions could lead to carcinogenesis in particular cell. Authors describe an analysis of DNA methylation level in endometrial cancer tissues compared to DNA methylation level in normal or hyperplastic endometrium. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Endometrial samples from 88 women were collected. 56 of them were classified as adenocarcinoma, 20 as hyperplastic changes, 12 as normal endometrium-control group. DNA was isolated from tissues and than prepared to pm5dC and pdC. Than we performed a statistical analysis of results. RESULTS: The median DNA methylation level was significantly higher in neoplastic tissues than in normal endometrium. There was no difference between DNA methylation level between normal endometrium and hyperplastic changes. CONCLUSIONS: Authors conclude that neoplastic endometrial tissues show high DNA methylation rate compared to normal or hyperplastic endometrium.},
