MIR129-2 is a microRNA that has been studied in various types of cancer, including Diffuse Intrinsic Pontine Glioma (DIPG) [PMC4494928]. In order to validate the role of MIR129-2 in targeting NG2 in human DIPG, primary DIPG lines (SF8628) were used [PMC4494928]. The association between MIR129-2 methylation and other tumor suppressive microRNA methylation, such as MIR34A, MIR124-1, MIR203, and MIR196B, was examined in patients with Multiple Myeloma (MM), Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma (NHL), and Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia (CLL) using a Χ2 test [PMC3576298]. It was found that a CpG island is present near the promoter of MIR129-2 but not MIR129-1 [PMC3576298]. Furthermore, the frequency of MIR129-2 methylation was higher in MM patients at diagnosis compared to patients with Monoclonal Gammopathy of Undetermined Significance (MGUS) [PMC3576298]. The difference in frequency between MM and MGUS was statistically significant with a p-value of 0.023 [PMC3576298]. In summary, the role of MIR129-2 in targeting NG2 in human DIPG was validated using primary DIPG lines. Additionally, the association between methylation of MIR129-2 and other tumor suppressive microRNAs was examined in MM, NHL, and CLL patients. The presence of a CpG island near the promoter of MIR129-2 but not MIR129-1 suggests differential regulation between these two microRNAs. Furthermore, higher frequency of methylation at the CpG island was observed in MM patients at diagnosis compared to patients with MGUS.
