The Tumor Suppressive mir-148a Is Epigenetically Inactivated in Classical Hodgkin Lymphoma
Open Access
Abstract
DNA methylation was shown previously to be a crucial mechanism responsible for transcriptional deregulation in the pathogenesis of classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL). To identify epigenetically inactivated miRNAs in cHL, we have analyzed the set of miRNAs downregulated in cHL cell lines using bisulfite pyrosequencing. We focused on miRNAs with promoter regions located within or IL15 and HOMER1 transcripts as well as between mir-148a-5p and SUB1 and SERPINH1 transcripts. Furthermore, mir-148a overexpression resulted in reduced cell proliferation in the KM-H2 cell line. In summary, we report that mir-148a is a novel tumor suppressor inactivated in cHL and that epigenetic silencing of miRNAs is a common phenomenon in cHL.Keywords
