PURPOSE: To determine the methylation level of the miR-124 promoter in non-neoplastic rectal mucosa of patients with pediatric-onset ulcerative colitis (UC) to predict UC-associated colorectal cancer (UC-CRC).

METHODS: Between 2005 and 2017, non-neoplastic rectal tissue specimens were collected from 86 patients with UC, including 13 patients with UC-CRC; cancer tissues were obtained from the latter group. The methylation status of the miR-124 promoter was quantified using bisulfite pyrosequencing and compared between pediatric- and adult-onset UC patients.

RESULTS: Patients with pediatric-onset UC experienced a significantly shorter disease duration than those with adult-onset UC. The levels of miR-124 promoter methylation in non-neoplastic rectal mucosa were positively correlated with the age at the diagnosis and duration of UC. The rate of increase in miR-124 methylation was accelerated in patients with pediatric-onset UC compared to those with adult-onset UC. Furthermore, the miR-124 methylation levels in non-neoplastic rectal mucosa were significantly higher in patients with UC-CRC than in those with UC alone (P = 0.02). A receiver operating characteristic analysis revealed that miR-124 methylation in non-neoplastic tissue discriminated between patients with pediatric-onset UC with or without CRC.

CONCLUSION: miR-124 methylation in non-neoplastic rectal mucosa may be a useful biomarker for identifying patients with pediatric-onset UC who face the highest risk of developing UC-CRC.
