Aim: To investigate the associations between LINE1 methylation, an indicator for genome-wide hypomethylation, molecular and clinicopathological characteristics of gastric cancer (GC) patients. Patients & methods: LINE1 methylation statuses were examined in paired cancerous, non-neoplastic mucosa from 217 GC and gastric mucosa from separate group of 224 noncancer patients. CpG island methylator phenotype, TP53 and KRAS mutation, MLH1 methylation status and promoter hypermethylation of GC related and H. pylori-related genes were examined. Results: Lower LINE1 methylation was observed in primary GC compared with non-neoplastic gastric mucosa and associated with CpG island methylator phenotype, TP53 mutation, MLH1 methylation and promoter hypermethylation of GC related and H. pylori-related genes. Conclusion: Lower LINE1 methylation correlates specific molecular subtypes and promoter hypermethylation in GC.

Context.—Colorectal cancer is a heterogeneous disease entity with 3 molecular carcinogenesis pathways and 2 morphologic multistep pathways. Right-sided colon cancers and left-sided colon and rectal cancers exhibit differences in their incidence rates according to geographic region, age, and sex. A linear tendency toward increasing frequencies of microsatellite instability–high or CpG island methylator phenotype–high cancers in subsites along the bowel from the rectum to the cecum or the ascending colon accounts for the differences in tumor phenotypes associated with these subsites. The molecular subtypes of colorectal cancers exhibit different responses to adjuvant therapy, which might be responsible for differences in subtype-specific survival. Objectives.—To review the clinicopathologic and molecular features of the molecular subtypes of colorectal cancer generated by combined CpG island methylator phenotype and microsatellite statuses, to integrate these features with the most recent findings in the context of the prognostic implications of molecular subtypes, and to emphasize the necessity of developing molecular markers that enable the identification of adenocarcinomas involving the serrated neoplasia pathway. Data Sources.—Based on the authors' own experimental data and a review of the pertinent literature. Conclusions.—Because colorectal cancers arise from 2 different morphologic multistep carcinogenesis pathways with varying contributions from 3 different molecular carcinogenesis pathways, colorectal cancer is a heterogeneous and complex disease. Thus, molecular subtyping of colorectal cancers is an important approach to characterizing their heterogeneity with respect to not only prognosis and therapeutic response but also biology and natural history.
