AbstractEpigenetics is the study of potentially heritable changes in gene expression that does not involve changes in underlying DNA sequence. Epigenetic mechanisms play a crucial role in cellular proliferation, migration, and differentiation in both normal and neoplastic development. Epigenetic changes may be inherited and can occur during embryonal development or after birth. Once the change in DNA methylation takes place, following cell division the altered pattern is transferred into daughter cells by the action DNA methyltransferase enzyme, which recognizes hemi-methylated sites and methylates newly synthesized DNA formed during replication. Recently, it has been suggested that aberrant DNA methylation of cytosine-phosphate-guanine (CpG) islands is a common event in odontogenic tumors. Expression of DNA methyltransferase 1,3A,3B has been noted in various odontogenic tumors. Thus, this review aims to study the various epigenetic pathways that are altered in odontogenic tumors.

Abstract BackgroundA persistently high methylation level in gastric mucosa after Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori) eradication is presumed to be a risk for metachronous gastric cancer (MGC); however, long-term changes in aberrant DNA methylation and histological gastritis have been unclear. Our aim was to examine changes in DNA methylation and histological gastritis according to the occurrence of MGC.MethodsSubjects were classified into 3 groups: 25 patients in whom metachronous gastric cancers occurred after the initial endoscopic resection (ER) for early gastric cancer and H. pylori eradication (MGC group), 17 patients in whom MGC did not occur for more than 5 years after initial ER and H. pylori eradication (non-MGC group) and 29 patients without a history of gastric cancer who succeeded in eradication more than 5 years ago (HP group). Aberrance of DNA methylation in 3 genes (miR-124a-3, EMX1, NKX6-1) and histological score of atrophy and intestinal metaplasia (IM) were evaluated using biopsy samples before and more than a mean of 5 years after H. pylori eradication.ResultsThe methylation level of miR-124a-3 in the HP group and non-MGC group and that of EMX1 in the HP group significantly decreased in the long term after eradication. In the MGC group, H. pylori eradication did not improve aberrant methylation, and the Z-score significantly increased. There were significant positive correlations between methylation levels in miR-124a-3 and EMX1 and histological findings after eradication.ConclusionsA persistently high methylation level after H. pylori eradication reflected precancerous mucosal conditions and led to long-term MGC.
