Abstract：Objective To observe the changes of methylation level of the long interspersed nucleotid element -1(L1)in persistent high-risk human papillomavirus ( HR-HPV) positive cervical cancer tissue and its significance .Methods Thirty tissue samples were collected in all HR-HPV infected normal cervix , cervical intraepithelial neoplasia ( CIN)Ⅰ, CINⅡ-CINⅢand cervical cancer respectively .Three CpG sites methylation levels of the L 1 of all tissues were quantitatively ana-lyzed by bisulphite conversion and pyrosequencing technology .Evaluated its diagnostic value in cervical cancer and CIN . Results The mean levels and standard deviation of the L 1 promoter methylation level of normal cervix tissue , CINⅠtis-sue, CINⅡ~Ⅲtissue and cervical cancer tissue were 0.59 ±0.053, 0.57 ±0.038, 0.56 ±0.025, 0.49 ±0.054 re-spectively.Compared the L1 promoter mean methylation level of cervical cancer tissues with other tissues , all P<0.001. Selected the cutoff value of the L 1 gene methylation level as 53 .17%, both the sensitivity and specificity to judge the prop-erty of cervical lesions were 86.70%, with the 95%confidence interval (CI) was 0.834~0.976.Conclusions The L1 gene methylation level of HR-HPV positive cervical cancer tissue decrease significantly .It helps to judge the property of cervical lesions with the L1 gene promoter methylation level of 53.17%.
