摘要
提取卵巢癌组织DNA,限制性内切酶EcoRI酶解后,经过凝胶电泳,Southern转移至硝酸纤维膜,与 ̄(32)P标记的c-erbB-2探针进行分子杂交,放射自显影。结果显示,26例上皮性卵巢癌中,8例(30.8%)出现了该基因的扩增。这8例均为晚期(III~IV期)肿瘤病人,其中5例在术后2~4个月内死亡,说明该基因的扩增在晚期卵巢癌中出现,与病人预后不良有关,该基因的激活在卵巢癌的发生过程中亦起一定的作用。
-erbB-2 (HER-2/neu) proto-oncogene is mainlyexpressed in epithelial tissue
and activated due to itsamplification. Amplification of the C-erbB-2 proto-oncogene is associated
with poor prognosis in humanovarian cancer. We exairJined whether arnplificationof C-erbB-2 is
common in ovarian carcinoma or is as-sociated with poor prognosis. The DNA of
ovariancarcinoma was extracted and consequently digestedwith restriction endonuclease
EcoRI, electrophoresedin 0.8% agarose gels and blotted onto nitrocelluiosefilter with Southern
transfering method. It was hy-bridized with a 32p-labelled C-erbB-2 probe and sub-sequently
underwent autoradiography, It was shownthat the C-erbB-2 (HER-2/neu) gene was amplifiedin 8
of 26 human ovarian carcinornas (30.8%). Clin-ically the 8 patients with the amplified C-erbB-2
werein their advanced stage(III-IV). Five of the patientsdied from 2 to 4 months after operation.
These find-ings sdggest that amplification of the C-erbB-2 geneniay play a role in the
patnogenesis of ovarian carci-noma, it is frequently observed in advanced ovariancarcinoma
and associated with poor prognosis forthese patients.
