Abstract: Objective To evaluate the effects of methylation on RASSF2A expression during the development of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma(LSCC). Methods Methylation-specific PCR was used to measure RASSF2A methylation and mRNA levels in tissues from 50 LSCCs(LSCC group)and 10 normal laryngeal tissues(control group). Results Hypermethylation was detected in the promoter region of RASSF2A in 54%(27/50)of the laryngeal cancer tissue samples but was not detected in control group tissues. The difference in hypermethylation was statistically significant(χ2=9.818, P=0.002). No significant correlations were found between the methylation levels of RASSF2A and the clinicopathological features of the patients with laryngeal cancer. The levels of RASSF2A mRNA in the LSCC group were significantly lower than those in normal mucosal tissues(χ2=9.818, P=0.002), because of methylation in RASSF2A in the laryngeal cancer tissue samples. Conclusion Epigenetic inactivation of RASSF2A through aberrant promoter methylation may play an important role during oncogenesis and the progression of LSCC.
