Aberrant methylation of multiple CpG islands has been described in
acute myeloid leukemia (AML), but it is not known whether these are
independent events or whether they reflect specific methylation
defects in a subset of cases. To study this issue, the
methylation status of 14 promoter-associated CpG islands was analyzed
in 36 cases of AML previously characterized for
estrogen-receptor methylation (ERM). Cases with methylation
density of 10% or greater were considered positive. Seventeen cases
(47%) were ERM+ while 19 cases were
ERM . Hypermethylation of any of the following,
p15, p16, CACNA1G, MINT1, MINT2, MDR1,
THBS1, and PTC1 (2 promoters), was relatively infrequent (6% to 31% of patients). For each of these CpG islands, the methylation density was positively correlated with ERM density (rank order correlation coefficients, 0.32-0.59; 2-tailed
P .058 for each gene). Hypermethylation of
MYOD1, PITX2, GPR37, and
SDC4 was frequently found in AML (47% to 64% of
patients). For each of these genes as well, methylation density was
positively correlated with ERM density (correlation coefficients 0.43 to 0.69, P .0087 for each gene). MLH1 was
unmethylated in all cases. Hypermethylation of p15,
MDR1, and SDC4 correlated with reduced levels
of expression. There was an inverse correlation between age and the
number of genes methylated (P = .0030). It was concluded that CpG-island methylation in AML results from methylation defects in
subsets of cases. These results have potential implications for the
classification and prognosis of AML and for the identification of
patients who may benefit from treatment with methylation inhibitors.
