A genome-wide hypomethylation is a common and crucial event in cancer. This study was to evaluate common epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) if long interspersed element-1 (LINE-1) repetitive sequences methylation levels are progressively decreased during multistage carcinogenesis and there are the correlation between LINE-1 methylation levels and clinicopathologic characteristics. A total of 59 pairs of microdissected EOC tissues obtained from patients with EOC were examined for the methylation levels of LINE-1 repetitive sequences by a COBRALINE-1 (combined bisulfite restriction analysis of LINE-1) PCR protocol. The methylation levels were correlated with clinicopathologic parameters to determine the potential role of global hypomethylation as a prognostic marker for EOC. The LINE-1 methylation levels of 59 EOCs, 34.87 +/- 7.39%, were lower than in representative normal ovarian tissues (46.89 +/- 8.31%; 95% CI: 9.42-14.62; P < 0.001, paired-two-tailed t test). A decrease in the LINE-1 level of methylation was correlated with histological subtypes, higher FIGO and advanced tumor grade. Patients with greater hypomethylation (i.e., a methylation level
