We studied the methylation status of the CpG promoter regions of the p16(INK4A) and p14(ARF) genes, mutations of four exons of the CDKN2A gene, and expressions of their corresponding proteins. Thirty-two frozen osteosarcoma tissues were used for methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction and sequence analysis. Immunohistochemical staining for p16(INK4A) and p14(ARF) proteins was done. The histologic and clinical data were analyzed to find their prognostic implications. The promoter of p16(INK4A) gene was methylated in 16%, and p14(ARF) in 47%. Poor survival was related to methylation of p14(ARF). The methylation of p14(ARF) correlated with down-regulation of its protein expression. The methylation of p14(ARF) showed the highest hazard ratio by multivariate survival analysis. Our data suggest methylation of the CDKN2A gene is the main mechanism of its protein repression. For the p14(ARF) gene, methylation of the promoter region was related to repression of p14(ARF) protein and poor prognosis.
