Abstract

The N-myc downstream-regulated gene 2 (NDRG2) at 14q11.2 has been reported to be downregulated in glioblastoma, and NDRG2 overexpression represses glioblastoma cell proliferation in vitro (Deng et al., Int J Cancer 2003;106;342-7). To further address the role of NDRG2 as a candidate tumor suppressor in human gliomas, we analyzed 67 astrocytic tumors (10 diffuse astrocytomas, 11 anaplastic astrocytomas, 34 primary glioblastomas and 12 secondary glioblastomas) for NDRG2 gene mutation, promoter methylation and expression at the mRNA and protein levels. Using real-time reverse transcription PCR analysis, we found decreased NDRG2 mRNA levels in primary glioblastomas as compared to diffuse and anaplastic astrocytomas. Similarly, immunohistochemistry revealed low or absent NDRG2 protein expression in primary glioblastomas. Mutational analysis of the entire NDRG2 coding sequence did not reveal any tumor-associated DNA sequence alterations. However, sequencing of sodium bisulfite-modified DNA identified hypermethylation of the NDRG2 promoter region in 21 of 34 primary glioblastomas (62%). Moreover, NDRG2 promoter hypermethylation was associated with decreased NDRG2 mRNA expression. In contrast to primary glioblastomas, NDRG2 promoter hy...Continue Reading
