Abstract

The positive regulatory domain I (PRDM1) is a transcriptional repressor that plays an important role in the B-cell differentiation. PRDM1β isoform is functionally impaired and overexpressed in a subset of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma with aggressive behavior. To investigate the possible epigenetic alteration on PRDM1β expression, methylation of PRDM1β promoter was assessed in B-lymphoma cell lines by bisulfite-sequencing PCR and screened in tumor samples of DLBCL patients using MassARRAY-quantitative methylation analysis. PRDM1β expression corresponded to promoter methylation status. CpG island of PRDM1β promoter possessed significant transcriptional activity, which could be modified by methylation. Loss of promoter methylation of PRDM1β was more frequently detected in lymphoma samples than in reactive hyperplasia. Thus, demethylation of abnormal tumor suppressor gene isoform might be linked to lymphoma progression.
