PG - 11635-11643 AB - The aim of this study was to investigate the association between piezo type mechanosensitive ion channel component 2 (PIEZO2)-promoter methylation with and its clinical value for laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC). Quantitative methylation-specific polymerase chain reaction technology was applied to measure PIEZO2 promoter methylation levels from 99 LSCC patients. Inclusive in the analysis were 133 (117 LSSC and 16 normal) samples from The Cancer Genome Atlas (TCGA). Our results showed significantly higher levels of PIEZO2 promoter methylation in LSCC than normal tissues (our cohort: P = 2.94E-21; TCGA cohort: P = 1.07E-19). In addition, PIEZO2 methylation was significantly associated with gender, differentiation, tumor (T) stage, lymph node metastasis, and clinical stage. The areas under the receiver characteristic curves (AUCs) based on our cohort and TCGA cohort were 0.917 and 0.978, respectively. Meanwhile, our study confirmed that PIEZO2 promoter hypermethylation could independently predict a poorer overall survival of LSCC patients (hazard ratio = 6.671; 95% confidence interval = 2.087-21.324). In conclusion, our study revealed that PIEZO2 promoter hypermethylation was a risk factor and might be involved in progression and metastasis, as well as serve as a potential clinical biomarker of LSCC.
