Abstract

The aim of the present meta-analysis was to investigate the correlation of promoter methylation of the p16 and Ras association domain family 1 isoform A (RASSF1A) genes with the risk of the development of papillary thyroid cancer (PTC). A number of electronic databases were searched without language restrictions as follows: Medline (1966‑2013), the Cochrane Library database (Issue 12, 2013), Embase (1980‑2013), CINAHL (1982‑2013), Web of Science (1945‑2013) and the Chinese Biomedical Database (CBM; 1982‑2013). A meta‑analysis was performed with the use of Stata statistical software. The odds ratios (ORs), ratio differences (RDs) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CIs) were calculated. In the present meta‑analysis, eleven clinical cohort studies with a total of 734 patients with PTC were included. The results of the current meta‑analysis indicated that the frequency of promoter methylation of p16 in cancer tissues was significantly higher compared with that in normal, adjacent and benign tissues (cancer tissues vs. normal tissues: OR=7.14; 95% CI, 3.30‑15.47; P<0.001; cancer tissues vs. adjacent tissues: OR=11.90; 95% CI, 5.55‑25.52; P<0.001; cancer tissues vs. benign tissues: OR=2.25; 95% CI, 1.67‑3.03; P<0.001, respectively). The results also suggest that RASSF1A promoter methylation may be implicated in the pathogenesis of PTC (cancer tissues vs. normal tissues: RD=0.53; 95% CI, 0.42‑0.64; P<0.001; cancer tissues vs. adjacent tissues: RD=0.39; 95% CI, 0.31‑0.48; P<0.001; cancer tissues vs. benign tissues: RD=0.39; 95% CI, 0.31‑0.47; P<0.001; respectively). Thus, the present meta‑analysis indicates that aberrant promoter methylation of p16 and RASSF1A genes may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of PTC.
