摘要
目的探讨YNZ22位点串联重复序列(VNTR)的杂合性丢失在原发肝癌发生发展中的作用.方法应用多聚酶链反应(PCR)技术扩增35例原发肝癌和正常肝组织YNZ22位点的VNTR区,对原发肝癌的杂合缺失进行分析.结果原发肝癌35例,属信息个体25例,占714%.信息个体中25例检出YNZ22位点杂合缺失(LOH)12例,杂合缺失率为480%.分析LOH与临床病理参数间的关系发现,原发肝癌YNZ22位点杂合缺失与血清HBsAg和AFP水平、组织学分级、肿瘤大小及远处转移无关.结论YNZ22位点杂合缺失是原发肝癌的常见改变,可能参与了原发肝癌的发生与发展.
IM To evaluate the role of heterozygosity (LOH) loss at YNZ22 locus in the development of hepatocellular carcinoma.METHODS Polymorphic analysis of YNZ22 locus that contains a variable number of tandem repeat (VNTR) was performed in 35 surgically resected specimens of hepatocellular carcinomas and adjacent normal tissues by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR).RESULTS Constitutional heterozygosity (informative) was found in 25/35 (714%) of hepatocellular carcinomas. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at YNZ22 locus was detected in 480% of informative cases. No significant difference existed between LOH at YNZ22 and serum levels of HBsAg and AFP,histological grades, tumor size and distant metastasis (P>005).CONCLUSION LOH at YNZ22 locus is a common change in hepatocellular carcinomas and may be involved in carcinogenesis of hepatocellular cancer.
