  • dna Stool Test for colorectal cancer hypermethylation of the secreted frizzled related protein 1 gene
    Diseases of The Colon & Rectum, 2007
    Co-Authors: Wei Zhang, Michael Bauer, Roland S Croner, Jorg Pelz, Dimitri Lodygin, Heiko Hermeking, Michael Sturzl, W Hohenberger, Klaus E Matzel
    Abstract:

    PURPOSE: To investigate a potential mode of noninvasive screening for colorectal cancer, we evaluated the hypermethylation of the secreted frizzled-related protein-1 gene promoter in human Stool DNA. METHODS: In Stool samples from 36 patients with colorectal neoplasia (7 adenoma, 29 colorectal cancer) and 17 healthy control subjects, isolated DNA was treated with sodium bisulfite and analyzed by methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction with primers specific for methylated or unmethylated promoter sequences of the secreted frizzled-related protein-1 gene. RESULTS: Hypermethylation of the secreted frizzled-related protein-1 promoter was present in the Stool DNA of patients with adenoma and colorectal cancer. A sensitivity of 89 percent and specificity of 86 percent were achieved in the detection of colorectal neoplasia. The difference in hypermethylation status of the secreted frizzled-related protein-1 promoter between the patients with colorectal neoplasia and the control group was statistically highly significant (P <0.001). Adenoma and early tumor Stage I (International Union Against Cancer) displayed both unmethylated and methylated secreted frizzled-related protein-1 promoter sequences, whereas advanced tumor stages showed only methylated secreted frizzled-related protein-1 (P = 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: The results indicate that this DNA Stool Test of hypermethylation of the secreted frizzled-related protein-1 promoter is a sensitive and specific method. It has the potential of a clinically useful Test for the early detection of colorectal cancer.
