We studied changes in the level of methylation of a number of microRNA genes hypermethylated in non-small cell lung cancer and its histological subtypes as well as the relationship of methylation of a group of microRNA genes with clinical and morphological features of the tumor with smoking status. A significantly high level of methylation of 7 genes ( MIR124-1/3 , MIR125B-1 , MIR129-2 , MIR137 , MIR1258 , and MIR339 ) was revealed in adenocarcinoma and squamous cell lung cancer in comparison with samples of adjacent histologically unchanged lung tissue. In squamous cell lung cancer, a significantly high level of methylation of the MIR124-2 gene in the tumor was also shown. In addition, differences in the methylation profile of adenocarcinoma and squamous cell carcinoma at stages III-IV of the oncological process were revealed. A high level of methylation of the MIR137 and MIR1258 genes was shown for adenocarcinoma and MIR339 , MIR129-2 , and MIR124-2 for squamous cell carcinoma. Significant differences in the level of methylation of MIR124-2 and MIR375 genes were revealed for smoking patients with squamous cell lung cancer.
