ABSTRACT
AIM:
To determine the methylation and expression of Wnt antagonist secreted Frizzled-related protein-2(SFRP2) in gastric cancer and to explore the role of SFRP2 in gastric carcinogenesis.METHODS:
Methylation status of SFRP2 was detected by methylation-specific PCR(MSP).Real-time PCR was used to determine the expression of SFRP2 in gastric cancers and matched cancer adjacent normal tissues.SFRP2 expression in gastric cancer cell lines was determined by reverse-transcriptional PCR(RT-PCR) and Western blotting.RESULTS:
SFRP2 methylation was found in 26(65%) gastric cancers and in 3(7.5%) matched cancer adjacent normal tissues.The frequency of methylation for SFRP2 was significantly higher in gastric cancers than that in matched normal tissues(x2=28.614,P
