  4. O-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) mRNA expression predicts outcome in malignant glioma independent of MGMT promoter methylation
Background: We analyzed prospectively whether MGMT
(O(6)-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase) mRNA expression gains
prognostic/predictive impact independent of MGMT promoter
methylation in malignant glioma patients undergoing radiotherapy
with concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide or temozolomide alone.
As DNA-methyltransferases (DNMTs) are the enzymes responsible for
setting up and maintaining DNA methylation patterns in eukaryotic
cells, we analyzed further, whether MGMT promoter methylation is
associated with upregulation of DNMT expression. 12 Hide Figures

Abstract Background We analyzed prospectively whether MGMT
(O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase) mRNA expression gains
prognostic/predictive impact independent of MGMT promoter
methylation in malignant glioma patients undergoing radiotherapy
with concomitant and adjuvant temozolomide or temozolomide alone.
As DNA-methyltransferases (DNMTs) are the enzymes responsible for
setting up and maintaining DNA methylation patterns in eukaryotic
cells, we analyzed further, whether MGMT promoter methylation is
associated with upregulation of DNMT expression.
Methodology/Principal Findings: Adult patients with a
histologically proven malignant astrocytoma (glioblastoma: N = 53,
anaplastic astrocytoma: N = 10) were included. MGMT promoter
methylation was determined by methylation-specific PCR (MSP) and
sequencing analysis. Expression of MGMT and DNMTs mRNA were
analysed by real-time qPCR. Prognostic factors were obtained from
proportional hazards models. Correlation between MGMT mRNA
expression and MGMT methylation status was validated using data
from the Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA) database (N = 229
glioblastomas). Low MGMT mRNA expression was strongly predictive
for prolonged time to progression, treatment response, and length
of survival in univariate and multivariate models (p

Deine Privatkopie der Folgen, die du nicht verlieren willst.

Podcast-Folgen verschwinden. Feeds werden auf die letzten Episoden gekürzt, Hoster räumen alte Dateien ab, Formate wechseln den Anbieter und lassen ihr Archiv zurück. Mit „Mein Archiv“ sichert podcast.de die Folgen deiner Podcasts für dich — angefangen bei den ältesten, denn die sind zuerst weg.

  • Deine gesicherten Folgen bleiben hörbar, auch wenn das Original offline geht.
  • Auch Folgen, die im heutigen Feed gar nicht mehr stehen — podcast.de kennt sie noch.
  • Herunterladen bleibt möglich, solange die Folge beim Podcaster liegt. Der zählt seine Abrufe wie bisher.
