Popis: Abstract Non-syndromic cleft lip with or without cleft palate (NSCL/P) is one of the most common craniofacial anomalies. Abnormal Alu methylation in DNA of the pregnant mother may influence the abnormal development of the child. This study aimed to examine Alu methylation and cellular senescence in NSCL/P patients and their mothers as well as the correlation with the severity of NSCL/P. A total of 39 patients with NSCL/P and 33 mothers were enrolled. Of these patients, 6 were cleft lip only (CLO), 9 were cleft palate only (CPO), and 24 were cleft lip and palate (CLP). Alu methylation and senescence markers were determined in the white blood cells of NSCL/P patients, their mothers, and in the lip and palatal tissues of patients at the time of cheiloplasty and palatoplasty. Total Alu methylation was not significantly different between groups. However, a decrease in Alu hypermethylation, increased partial Alu methylation, RAGE, and p16 expression were shown in CLP, the most severe cleft type. Alu methylation in tissues did not differ between groups. In mothers, an increase in Alu methylation was observed only in the CLP. Therefore, the pathogenesis of NSCL/P may be related to Alu methylation of the mother promoting loss of Alu methylation and subsequently senescence in the children.
