ABSTRACT
Araújo RF, Bersano
PRO, Ferrasi AC, Montoya LM, Da Silva GN, Feo HB, Rocha NS., FOXE1:
Methylation and gene expression in canine osteosarcoma cell culture, Onl J Vet Res., 18(3): 293-302, 2014. Gene expression profiles in a
canine osteosarcoma (OSA) cell culture could identify chemotherapeutic targets
and sort useful from useless prognostic groups. This could allow for more
personalized treatment of OSA based on an individual’s tumor expression
profile. An experimental model of methylation and gene expression in canine
osteosarcoma cell culture is described. Blood Samples were taken from 5 dogs
with cytological and histo-pathological OSA, and one
from normal bone. OSA primary cell culture was isolated and characterized. For
methylation and FOXE1 expression
analysis, DNA of 5x106 osteosarcoma cells was used. Results showed
that about 80% OSA cell cultures sequences were methylated and 20%
un-methylated. FOXE1 expression was
not demonstrated in un-methylated cell culture or normal bone. The findings
suggest that FOXE1 gene may be
silenced in OSA cells but its absence in osteoblast cells suggests that it is
not involved in the carcinogenesis of canine osteosarcoma.
Key words: Immunocytochemical, epigenetic, osteoblast, FOXE1 gene expression.
