Abstract	The genetic basis underlying cervical tumorigenesis and progression are largely unknown. Phosphatase and tensin homologue (PTEN) is a tumor suppressor gene, and genetic changes of PTEN occurs in various types of cancer suggesting that the inactivation of PTEN may play an important role in the pathogenesis of a variety of human malignancies. In the present study, 102 cervical cancer specimens were examined for the expression of the PTEN gene and promoter methylation using methylation-specific-polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry. The PTEN gene mutation was also assessed using PCR single-strand conformational polymorphism. We examined the correlation between PTEN expression and its associated methylation status and the clinical characteristics of cervical cancer. The results showed that there was one case of an A to G point mutation on exon 9 of the PTEN gene in the cervical cancer tissues. This mutation caused the change of aspartic acid to glycine, and the rate of mutation was 1%. The PTEN gene methylation rate of cervical cancer was 62% (63/102) and the rate was associated with the International Federation of Gynecology and Obstetrics stage, cell differentiation, tumor size and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). The positive rate of PTEN expression was 49% (50/102) in cervical carcinoma and the PTEN expression between stage I–II and III–IV [60 (27/45) vs. 40% (23/57)] was statistically significant (P<0.01). The PTEN gene expression between the metastasis and no lymph node metastasis groups [26 (10/38) vs. 63% (40/64)] was significantly different (P<0.01). The PTEN gene promoter methylation and its protein expression had a significant correlation (P=0.042). These results suggest that hypermethylation can inactivate the transcription of PTEN and reduce its protein expression. Downregulated PTEN expression is involved in the pathogenesis, invasion and metastasis of cervical cancer, possibly by regulating the balance between apoptosis and proliferation. Therefore, the PTEN expression may be a good marker for the prognosis of cervical cancer.
