Abstrakt: Introduction: Gastric cancer is the fourth leading cause of neoplastic morbidity worldwide, and its pathogenesis has been related to genetic and epigenetic alterations in cell cycle regulatory genes, such as p16.
Objectives: This systematic review was developed to investigate the association of the p16 gene promoter methylation with oncogenesis and the progression of gastric carcinomas.
Methodology: MEDLINE and Scopus databases were searched for relevant subsidiary studies, with the publication until July 2021 and without language restriction. The complete protocol was registered in the PROSPERO platform under the identification 308218. The Newcastle-Ottawa scale (NOS) was used to assess the methodological quality of the included manuscripts. The meta-analysis was conducted using RevMan 5.4 ® software. The random effects model was used, Odds Ratio (OR) was calculated with 95% confidence intervals (95% CI). Heterogeneity and inferential significance were measured.
Results: 48 articles were aggregated in the qualitative synthesis and 47 in the meta-analysis, totaling 6599 gastric specimens evaluated. Associations of p16 methylation with the following outcomes were observed: gastric oncogenesis (p < 0.00001); intestinal metaplasia (p = 0.002); poor histological differentiation (p = 0.03); local invasion (p = 0.001); lymph node dissemination (p = 0.03); more advanced TNM staging (p = 0.01); and Epstein Barr virus infection (p < 0.00001). In contrast, no association of p16 methylation was found with Lauren's histological classification (p = 0.62); distant metastasis (p = 0.71); or Helicobacter pylori infection (p = 0.79).
Conclusions: the findings described provide empirical evidence for the categorization of p16 methylation as a substantial biomolecular step in gastric carcinogenesis, and reveal a crucial role of Epstein Barr virus in triggering this epigenetic alteration.
