Abstract

Most DNA cancer methylation markers are based on the transcriptional regulation of the promoter-gene relationship. Recently, the importance of long-range interactions between distal CpGs and target genes has been revealed. Here, we attempted to identify methylation markers for breast cancer that interact with distant genes. We performed integrated analysis using chromatin interactome data, methylome data, transcriptome data, and clinical information for breast cancer from public databases. Using the chromatin interactome and methylome data, we defined CpG-distant target gene relationships. After determining the differences in methylation between tumor and paired normal samples, the survival association, and the correlation between CpG methylation and distant target gene expression, we selected CpG methylation marker candidates. Using Cox proportional hazards models, we combined the selected markers and evaluated the prognostic model. We identified six methylation markers in HOXA9 and HOXA10 promoter regions and their long-range target genes. We experimentally validated the chromatin interactions, methylation status, and transcriptional regulation. A prognostic model showed that the combination of six methylation markers was highly associated with poor survival in independent datasets. According to our multivariate analysis, the prognostic model showed significantly better prognostic ability than other histological and molecular markers. The combination of long-range interacting HOXA9 and HOXA10 promoter CpGs predicted the survival of breast cancer patients, providing a comprehensive and novel approach for discovering new methylation markers.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 28 July 2017.
All research outputs
#15,473,755
of 22,994,508 outputs
Outputs from Clinical Epigenetics
#860
of 1,262 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#199,191
of 316,521 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Clinical Epigenetics
#17
of 30 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,994,508 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 22nd percentile – i.e., 22% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,262 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 6.5. This one is in the 25th percentile – i.e., 25% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 316,521 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 28th percentile – i.e., 28% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 30 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 40th percentile – i.e., 40% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
