摘要
Nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC), the common malignant head and neck cancer, is highly prevalent in southern China. The molecular mechanism underlying NPC tumorigenesis is unclear. We used 5-Aza-CdR, a DNA methyltransferase inhibitor, to treat NPC cell lines and discovered that the expression of TMEM130 changed significantly compared with the untreatment cells. This study aimed to identify the relationship between the DNA methylation status of TMEM130 and NPC, and to explore the function of TMEM130 in NPC cell migration.qRT-PCR was performed to investigate the transcriptional expression of TMEM130 in NPC. Bisulfite sequencing PCR and 5-Aza-CdR treatment were used to detect the methylation level of the TMEM130 promoter. Gene Expression Omnibus (GEO) datasets were obtained to identifiy the methylation status and mRNA expression of TMEM130 in NPC and normal control tissues. Transwell and western blot analyses were used to detect cell migration ability after transfection of TMEM130/NC plasmids in NPC cells.The transcriptional expression of TMEM130 was decreased in NPC cell lines compared with in the NP69 cell line. TMEM130 promoter was significantly hyper methylated in three NPC cell lines (C666, CNE, and HONE) but hypo methylated in NP69 cells. The methylation level was higher in NPC than normal control tissues. Additionally, treatment of NPC cells with 5-Aza-CdR increased the TMEM130 mRNA expression level. Overexpression of TMEM130 in NPC cell lines suppressed cell migration ability and affected some epithelial-mesenchymal transition-associated gene expression.This study is the first to investigate the expression and function of TMEM130 in NPC. It was found that TMEM130 hyper methylation might contribute to NPC migration and this gene might act as a tumor suppressor gene. TMEM130 is a promising biomarker for NPC diagnosis.
