| Abstract |
Multiplex methylation-sensitive PCR and methylation-specific PCR were employed in studying the methylation of CpG islands in the p16/CDKN2A and p14/ARF promoter and the first exon regions in non-small cell lung cancer (54 samples) and acute B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia (61 samples). Differences in methylation were detected between types of neoplasia as well as between CpG islands studied within the same types of tumors. High level of the p16/CDKN2A first exon CpC island methylation was revealed in non-small cell lung cancer (68%) and in acute B-cell lymphoblastic leukemia (55%) and the CpG island of p14/ARF first exon was nonmethylated in these types of tumors. The methylation of CpG-rich fragments of genes p16/CDKN2A and p14/ARF promoters was analysed. As was found out, CpG islands located in 5' areas of one and the same gene can differ in methylation frequencies. The comparison of sensitivity between methylation-specific PCR and methylation-sensitive PCR used in the methylations studies was carried out.
