Expression of DNA Methyltransferase 3B Isoforms Is Associated with DNA Satellite 2 Hypomethylation and Clinical Prognosis in Advanced High-Grade Serous Ovarian Carcinoma
Alterations in DNA methylation are critical for the carcinogenesis of ovarian tumors, especially ovarian carcinoma (OC). DNMT3B, a de novo DNA methyltransferase (DNMT), encodes for fifteen spliced protein products or isoforms. DNMT3B isoforms lack exons for the catalytic domain, with functional cons...

description | Alterations in DNA methylation are critical for the carcinogenesis of ovarian tumors, especially ovarian carcinoma (OC). DNMT3B, a de novo DNA methyltransferase (DNMT), encodes for fifteen spliced protein products or isoforms. DNMT3B isoforms lack exons for the catalytic domain, with functional consequences on catalytic activity. Abnormal expression of DNMT3B isoforms is frequently observed in several types of cancer, such as breast, lung, kidney, gastric, liver, skin, leukemia, and sarcoma. However, the expression patterns and consequences of DNMT3B isoforms in OC are unknown. In this study, we analyzed each DNMT and DNMT3B isoforms expression by qPCR in 63 OC samples and their association with disease-free survival (DFS), overall survival (OS), and tumor progression. We included OC patients with the main histological subtypes of EOC and patients in all the disease stages and found that DNMTs were overexpressed in advanced stages (p-value < 0.05) and high-grade OC (p-value < 0.05). Remarkably, we found DNMT3B1 overexpression in advanced stages (p-value = 0.0251) and high-grade serous ovarian carcinoma (HGSOC) (p-value = 0.0313), and DNMT3B3 was overexpressed in advanced stages (p-value = 0.0098) and high-grade (p-value = 0.0004) serous ovarian carcinoma (SOC). Finally, we observed that overexpression of DNMT3B isoforms was associated with poor prognosis in OC and SOC. DNMT3B3 was also associated with FDS (p-value = 0.017) and OS (p-value = 0.038) in SOC patients. In addition, the ovarian carcinoma cell lines OVCAR3 and SKOV3 also overexpress DNMT3B3. Interestingly, exogenous overexpression of DNMT3B3 in OVCAR3 causes demethylation of satellite 2 sequences in the pericentromeric region. In summary, our results suggest that DNMT3B3 expression is altered in OC. |
