Abstract

Background: Nasopharyngeal cancer is a tumor of high malignancy originating from the epithelial tissues of the nasopharynx, which is often misdiagnosed and missed due to insidious lesions and inconspicuous early symptoms, and is a serious threat to human health. The development mechanism of nasopharyngeal cancer is still not well understood. Death-associated protein kinase (DAPK) is a calcium- and calmodulin- dependent serine and threonine protein kinase, which is involved in the apoptotic process induced by interferon-γ, tumor necrosis factor-α, Fas, etc. and has a pro-apoptotic function. The expression of DAPK in nasopharyngeal cancer tissues was related to the methylation status of CpG islands in the promoter region of its gene. Methylation of DAPK gene may be related to the occurrence and development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma. Objectives: The purpose of this article is to investigate the application value of DAPK gene methylation in the early diagnosis of nasopharyngeal cancer. Method: Methylation-specific PCR, pyrophosphate sequencing, real-time quantitative PCR and Western Blot test were used to detect the methylation of DAPK gene and its expression status in the blood of patients with nasopharyngeal cancer and chronic rhinopharyngitis. Result: There was no significant difference in the methylation rate and expression of DAPK gene in the blood of patients with nasopharyngeal cancer and chronic rhinopharyngitis. Conclusion: DAPK gene methylation cannot be used as an indicator for early diagnosis of nasopharyngeal cancer.
