肿瘤抑制基因p53及Rb在鼻咽癌中的表达

The Expression of Tumor Supperssor Gene p53 and Rb Gene in Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma

为观察ｐ５３基因和Ｒｂ基因与鼻咽癌发生的关系，应用聚合酶链反应－单链构型多态分析技术（ＰＣＲ－ＳＳＣＰ技术），检测３３例鼻咽癌组织、４例鼻咽部炎性组织及３例正常鼻咽部组织中ｐ５３基因第７，８外显子的突变。结果显示，在３３例鼻咽癌中有７例存在ｐ５３基因第８外显子的突变，突变率为２１．２％。在第７外显子中未检测出突变发生。应用Ｓｏｕｔｈｅｒｎ印迹杂交，对Ｒｂ基因在鼻咽癌中存在状态进行研究。结果表明，在１３例鼻咽癌组织中有１１例鼻咽癌组织有Ｒｂ基因的缺失或明显减弱，提示ｐ５３基因突变及Ｒｂ基因的缺失而导致的基因失活与鼻咽癌的发生有密切关系。

In order to observe the relation of tumor supperssor gene p53 and Rb gene to nasopharyngeal carcinoma, we investigated p53 gene mutations in exon 7 8 in 33 cases of nasopharygeal carcinoma (NPC), using single strand conformation ploymorphism analysis of PCR (PCR SSCP). The data showed p53 mutations in 7 of 33 specimens at exon 8(21.2%). No mutation in exon 7 was detected. Analysis of Rb gene in NPC tissues by southern blot revealed the deletion and loss of activity of Rb gene in 11 of 13 cases (86.6%). Our results suggest that Rb gene and p53 gene are closely associated with the tumorigenesis of NPC.
