Abstract:

Objective  To analyze the methylation status of promoter of O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) gene and its relationship with clinicopathological features and prognosis of glioma. Methods The methylation level of MGMT was detected by methylation specific polymerase chain reaction (MSP) in 70 glioma tissues and 14 normal brain tissues of non-tumor patients who underwent surgical treatment from January 2012 to June 2013. The relationship between MGMT methylation and clinicopathological features was analyzed. Overalll survival (OS) of patients with high and low grade glioma with different MGMT methylation status was compared. Cox proportional regression model was used to analyze the factors affecting OS in low-grade glioma patients. Results Of 70 glioma patients, 48 (68.6%) had MGMT promoter methylation, while only 2 (14.3%) had MGMT methylation in normal brain tissues (P<0.05). MGMT methylation was not correlated with age, sex, tumor type, KPS score, p53 and Ki-67 expression (P>0.05), but with pathological grade (P<0.05). The median OS of MGMT methylated glioma patients was 30 months, significantly longer than that of non-methylated glioma patients for 11 months (P<0.05). Univariate analysis showed that WHO pathological grade, alkylating agent chemotherapy and MGMT methylation were associated with OS in low-grade glioma patients (P<0.05). Multivariate analysis showed that WHO grade Ⅱ, non-alkylation chemotherapy and MGMT non-methylation were independent risk factors for OS in low-grade glioma patients (P<0.05). Conclusion MGMT methylation is related to the occurrence and development of glioma. It has certain value in judging the malignancy of glioma, evaluating prognosis and guiding clinical treatment.
