The level of ferritin in serum is known to be increased frequently in most human cancers. Ferritin consists of the heavy and light chains, encoded by FTL and FTH genes. The analysis of the EST database showed that the level of FTL and FTH mRNA is decreased in lung squamous cell carcinomas as compared to the normal tissues, no change in the mRNA level was observed in clear cell renal cell carcinoma. Using real-time PCR we estimated the mRNA level of these genes in primary tumors. It was shown significant and frequent decrease of FTL and FTH mRNA level in lung squamous cell carcinoma: on the average by 11 and 9 times in 83% (33/40) and 73% (11/15) of cases, respectively. In clear cell renal cell carcinoma the changes were not so marked both with respect to the level of decrease (on the average 6 and 3 times) and to its frequency (58 and 27%). In the present work it has been shown for the first time that the FTL mRNA is frequently down-regulated even at the early stages of lung squamous cell carcinoma in all studied samples. This fact permits to consider this gene as potential oncomarker of early diagnosis. The FTL mRNA content may be quantified by non-concurrent hybridization on expression DNA microarrays. The possible causes of a serum ferritin increase in lung cancer and renal cancer are discussed.
