Abstract

p73 is a member of the p53 tumor suppressor protein family and induces apoptosis in tumor cells that lack functional p53. It has been demonstrated that methylation of CpG islands in the promoter and exon 1 region may result in silencing of the p73 gene. The aim of this study was to investigate the correlation between p73 gene expression and chemosensitivity in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell lines. The expression of the p73 transcript in six NSCLC cell lines was investigated by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT‑PCR). The methylation status in these cell lines was determined by methylation-specific PCR (MSP) analysis. An in vitro demethylation assay was conducted using the DNA methyltransferase inhibitor 5‑aza‑2‑deoxycytidine (5‑aza‑dC). Restored expression of p73 in the human lung squamous cell carcinoma cell line C57, both at the mRNA and protein level, was investigated by RT‑PCR and immunohistochemistry, respectively. A colony formation assay was used to measure the surviving fraction of the C57 cell line. Transcript silencing of the p73 gene in the six NSCLC cell lines was observed and related to aberrant methylation. The expression of the p73 transcript and protein in the C57 cell line was restored by 5‑aza‑dC. The surviving fraction for colony formation in C57 cells pre-treated with 5‑aza‑dC was 0.059±0.006, which was significantly different from that of the control group (0.12±0.008; P<0.05). Our data demonstrated a significant correlation between expression of p73 and cellular chemosensitivity in NSCLC.
