TY - JOUR T1 - METHYLATION AND EXPRESSION VALIDATION RESULTS OF GPRC5C GENE OBTAINED FROM EPIGENOMICS AND TRANSCRIPTOMICS DATA IN ORAL CAVITY TUMORS TT - METHYLATION AND EXPRESSION VALIDATION RESULTS OF GPRC5C GENE OBTAINED FROM EPIGENOMICS AND TRANSCRIPTOMICS DATA IN ORAL CAVITY TUMORS AU - Esentürk, Gizem AU - Doruk, Can AU - Ulusan, Murat AU - Olgaç, Nejat Vakur AU - Demokan, Semra PY - 2022 DA - August DO - 10.26650/JARHS2021-1138086 JF - Journal of Advanced Research in Health Sciences JO - SABİAD PB - Istanbul University WT - DergiPark SN - 2651-4060 SP - 46 EP - 46 VL - 5 IS - S-1 LA - en AB - Objective: Demokan et.al idetified G/Protein/Coupled/Receptor/Class-C/Group-5/Member-C (GPRC5C) as a candidate gene in OSCC via expression andmethylation array results (logFC:0.59663; DeltaBeta: -0.130984561) from their previous unpublished data. In our study, the methylation and expressionstatus of GPRC5C gene was investigated in a larger group of OSCC patients and healthy cohort for further validation. Its potential candidate biomarker wasevaluated for early diagnosis of OSCC by non-invasive methods.Materials and Methods: DNA and RNA were isolated from tissues/body fluid samples of 30 patients OSCC and 15 healthy individuals. The methylation andexpression levels were analyzed by using QMSP and QRT-PCR methods, respectively. The data were compared with clinical parameters and evaluated bystatistical analysis.Results: Decreased expression levels were observed in 43% and increased expression levels were observed in 33% in the tumor tissues compared tocorresponding-normal tissues of OSCC patients. Methylation-based expression loss was observed in 4 patients having the ratio between 3.4 and 12.2%.We also observed a decrease in expression in OSCC patients with observed methylation. There was statistical significance between differentiation degreeand expression in OSCC.Conclusion: It was concluded that GPRC5C may play a role as a potential methylation biomarker candidate of specific subgroups of the oral cavity. Othermechanisms need to be explored to understand the differences in expression levels.
