Abstract

Previous studies have demonstrated that promoter hypermethylation of tumor suppressor genes contributes to the occurrence and development of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). However, the association of DNA methylation with chemotherapeutic outcomes remains unknown. In the present study, 15 patients with AML were recruited, and the promoter methylation status of cyclin‑dependent kinase inhibitor 2B (CDKN2B), solute carrier family 19 member 3 (SLC19A3) and deleted in lung and esophageal cancer 1 (DLEC1) genes was examined prior to and following various chemotherapeutic regimens in order to identify any alterations. The results suggested that chemotherapy‑induced hypermethylation of CDKN2B and DLEC1 may be specific to males and females, respectively, and that there were no alterations in SLC19A3 methylation following chemotherapy. These results may provide an improved understanding of gene methylation to guide the development of an individualized chemotherapy for AML. Due to the complexity of AML and the wide range of treatment types, future studies with a larger sample size are required in order to verify the results of the present investigation.
