CDH1 methylation analysis in invasive lobular breast carcinomas with and without gene mutation

The proposed role of CDH1 (E-cadherin gene) methylation as a mechanism of gene inactivation in invasive lobular carcinoma (ILC) remains inconclusive. For many years, CDH1 promoter hypermethylation has been regarded as a mechanism for gene inactivation in ILC. However, this assumption has primarily r...

For many years, CDH1 promoter hypermethylation has been regarded as a mechanism for gene inactivation in ILC. However, this assumption has primarily relied on non-quantitative assays, which have reported CDH1 methylation frequencies ranging from 26 to 93% at CpG sites within the island region. Few studies employing quantitative methods and covering CpG island shores, regions of relatively low CpG density situated proximal to conventional promoter CpGs, have been conducted, revealing lower percentages of methylation ranging from 0 to 51%. Therefore, using the quantitative pyrosequencing method, we examined CDH1 methylation in the island region and shores in E-cadherin deficient ILC cases (15 with CDH1 mutation and 22 non-mutated), 19 cases of invasive breast carcinomas non-special type (IBC-NSTs), and five cases of usual ductal hyperplasia (UDH). Our analysis revealed CDH1 methylation frequencies ranging from 3 to 64%, with no significant increase in methylation levels in any group of ILCs (median = 12%) compared to IBC-NST (median = 15%). In addition, considering the poorly studied association between the number of tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs) and CDH1 methylation in breast cancer, we undertook a thorough analysis within our dataset. Our findings revealed a positive correlation between CDH1 methylation and the presence of TILs (r = 0.5; p-value < 0.05), shedding light on an aspect of breast cancer biology warranting further investigation. These findings challenge CDH1 methylation as a CDH1 inactivation mechanism in ILC and highlight TILs as a potential confounding factor in gene methylation.This study was funded by grants from the Instituto de Salud Carlos III (ISCIII) (PI19/01331 and PI22/01892) and was realized thanks to the Short-Term Scientific Mission Grant awarded by the Cost action CA19138 to SG-M.Peer reviewedSpringerInstituto de Salud Carlos IIIConsejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas [https://ror.org/02gfc7t72]202520252024info:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttp://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_6501Publisher's versioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttp://hdl.handle.net/10261/382832reponame:DIGITAL.CSIC.
