O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) is a DNA repair enzyme that removes alkyl groups from the O6 position of guanine. MGMT is transcriptionally silenced by promoter hypermethylation in several human neoplasia. We used methylation-specific PCR (MSP) to analyze the MGMT promoter methylation status of 50 glioblastoma tumors. Hypermethylation was detected in 24 of 50 (48%) samples. We also analyzed mutant p53 expression by immunohistochemical analysis of glaioblastoma tissue samples. A significant association was found between MGMT methylation and p53 mutation status (p .05). These results suggested that epigenetic inactivation of MGMT plays an important role in the survival of glioblastoma patients and this inactivated gene involved in p53 mutation.
