The invention discloses a method for predicting malignant tumor
metastasis and invasion capacity
in vitro, which comprises the following steps of: (a) extracting
DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) from surgical incisal margins or tumor-adjacent tissues; (b) detecting the methylating degree of
cytimidine in 5'- end CpG island of seroreaction factor
gene DNA sequence in
DNA obtained in the step (a); and (c) when the seroreaction factor
gene DNA sequence with methylated
cytimidine in the 5'-end CpG island is detected in the step (b), presuming that the tissue being detected has the capacity of resisting malignant tumor
metastasis and invasion. The invention also provides four artificial
nucleotide fragments. The inventor of the invention, for the first time, find that the
metastasis and invasion capacity of malignant tumors can be rapidly and accurately predicted by detecting whether the seroreaction factor
gene DNA sequence with methylated
cytimidine in CpG island exists or not in the tissue being detected. Besides, the
nucleotide fragments provided in the invention can be used for accurately and rapidly detecting the
methylation of cytimidine in the CpG island in the seroreaction factor gene DNA sequence.
