Of HNSCC patients, recurrence and metastasis are common even after treatment and usually results in poor prognosis. Hypermethylation of CpG islands in promoter region of tumor suppressor genes is well-demonstrated in cancers and is under development to act as biomarkers for cancer risk assessment. This study aims to investigate the feasibility of DNA methylation-based marker for HNSCC prognosis. Methods: We examined promoter hypermethylation of p16, glutathione S-transferase pi (GSTP1), O6-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase (MGMT), death-associated protein kinase 1 (DAPK1), RAS-association domain family 1, isoform A (RASSF1A), and E-cadherin (CDH1) genes of 33 HNSCCs paired with adjacent non-tumorous tissues using qualitative methylation-specific PCR (Q-MSP). Of p16 allele, 52 tumors of HNSCC were assayed. Results: Hypermethylation of test promoters was irrelative to gender, stage, recurrence, and differentiation. However, hypermethylation of p16 promoter in tumors was significantly correlated with metastatic lymph node (p=0.003), distant metastasis (p=0.001), or younger patients (p=0.027). Patients with hypermethylated p16 allele have higher risk for distant metastasis than those without (OR=15.3). Of overall survival status, histopathological differentiation grade, recurrence, or distant metastasis was linked to poor diagnosis (p < 0.001, Log rank test). Hypermethylation of p16INK4a promoter was significantly associated with increased distant metastasis (p=0.001) and shortened disease-free time in HNSCC patients older than 52 (p=0.034). Conclusions: This study shows that p16 hypermethylation correlates with increased invasiveness of HNSCC and decreased survival in an age-dependent manner. Our findings not only suggest the potential prognostic value of p16 hypermethylation but also indicate the involvement of p16 with cell migration in HNSCC carcinogenesis.
