ZBTB28 is frequently silenced by promoter methylation in RCC, and its overexpression can inhibit cell proliferation and migration, as well as induce apoptosis. It functions as a novel tumor suppressive gene and may be a potential target for RCC therapeutic strategies.
Aim Zinc finger and BTB domain-containing protein 28 (ZBTB28) is a potential tumor suppressor for some cancers. However, its epigenetic regulation and functions in renal cell carcinoma (RCC) remain to be elucidated. Methods The expression of ZBTB28 mRNA was analyzed by semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (PCR) in nine RCC cell lines and normal kidney tissues. Methylation status of ZBTB28 promoter was assessed by methylation-specific PCR in RCC cell lines, primary RCC, tumors and adjacent tissues. The involvement of ZBTB28 in cell proliferation and migration was investigated. Results ZBTB28 promoter was hypermethylated in 88.9% (8/9) of RCC cell lines with reduced ZBTB28 mRNA expression, and could be reversed by DNA methyltransferase inhibitors. The methylation of ZBTB28 promoter was detected in 73.5% (36/49) of primary RCC tissues, compared with 7.1% (1/14) in normal tissues. Overexpression of ZBTB28 significantly inhibited RCC cell proliferation and migration, and induced apoptosis. Further analyses revealed that ZBTB28 upregulation could inhibit multiple oncogenic signaling transduction pathways. Conclusion ZBTB28 is frequently silenced by promoter methylation in RCC pathogenesis and functions as a novel tumor suppressive gene. ZBTB28 may be a potential target for the development of RCC therapeutic strategies.
