Purpose: The biallelic expression of insulin-like growth
factor-II (IGF2) and H19 has been reported to be associated
with the progression of several tumors. Here,
the promoter usage and expression levels of IGF2 and
H19 are reported to be altered in cervical and endometrial
cancers showing loss of imprinting (LOI).
Materials and Methods: The imprinting status of IGF2
and H19 was examined in 32 cervical carcinomas, their
matched normal tissues, 13 endometrial cancer and 33
normal endometrial tissues.
Results: The LOI of IGF2 was observed in 7 of 18 (39%)
and 1 of 13 (8.3%) informative cervical carcinomas and
informative endometrial cancers, respectively. The LOI of
the H19 gene was detected in 5 of 14 (36%) and in all
11 (100%) informative cervical carcinoma cases and
informative endometrial cancer cases, respectively. The
use of promoter P1 was observed in the LOI tumors
of IGF2, but not in the tumors showing maintenance of
IGF2 imprinting (MOI), or in cervical and endometrial
cancers. Unlike MOI tumors, some LOI tumors revealed
a lack of IGF2 transcription from the promoter P3. The
LOI tumors of IGF2 showed increased expression of the
IGF2 level, but a down-regulation of the H19, relative to
normal tissues, whereas the MOI tumors revealed no
significant alterations.
Conclusion: These results suggest that the promoter P1
could be involved in the biallelic expression of IGF2, and
that the altered expression of the IGF2 and H19 levels
might be associated with the progression of cervical and
endometrial cancers that exhibit biallelic IGF2 expression.
