摘要: Directed by microarray analyses, we report that autocrine human growth hormone (hGH) increased the mRNA and protein expression of DNA methyltransferase 1 (DNMT1), DNMT3A DNMT3B in mammary carcinoma cells. Autocrine hGH stimulation was mediated JAK2 Src kinases, treatment cells with DNMT inhibitor, 5'-aza-2'-deoxycytidine (AZA), abrogated hGH-stimulated cellular proliferation, apoptosis anchorage-independent growth. AZA reversed epitheliomesenchymal transition induced hGH, to an epithelioid morphology cell migration stimulated hGH. hypermethylation first exon PLAKOGLOBIN gene ability repress plakoglobin transcription. Small interfering RNA (siRNA)-mediated depletion individual molecules did not release repression promoter activity nor affect migration. However, concomitant siRNA-mediated both subsequent transcription Thus, increases mediate direct its consequent phenotypic conversion therefore, utilizes methylation as a mechanism exert oncogenic effects
