Cyclooxygenase 2 plays a critical role in the development of gastrointestinal cancers in both human and animal models. About 80% of the gastric cancer showed a high level of expression of cyclooxygenase 2, but a subset of cases do not express without unknown reason. Aberrant methylation of CpG island of COX-2 was examined by using a series of gastric cancer cell lines and primary gastric cancers. Two out of 8 cell lines (25%) and 11 out of 93 (12%) primary cancers showed aberrant methylation of the 5' region of COX-2. Methylation of COX-2 was closely associated with loss of expression and treatment of methylation inhibitor, 5-deoxy-2'-azacytidine restored the expression of COX-2. A combined treatment of 5-deoxy-2'-azacytidine and a histone deacetylese inhibitor, trichostatin A, restored re-expression of the gene synergistically and chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis revealed that histone of methylated COX-2 promoter is deacetylated, indicating the role of cytosine methylation and histone deacetylation in the silencing of the gene. These results indicate that a subset of gastric cancer with COX-2 methylation evolves through the pathway that is independent of COX-2 expression and that COX-2 inhibitor may not be useful to induce apoptosis in these cases.
