METHODS: Total RNAs and cell lysates were prepared from five different human epithelial cell lines derived from lung, stomach, liver, skin, and breast, respectively. RT-PCR and immunoblot analysis of these five cell lines were done. Both RT-PCR and immunochemistry were used to detect the expression of SNC73 in these cell lines. We also examined the expression of SNC73 in normal epithelial cells of colon mucosa by in situ hybridization. RT-PCR and immunoblot analysis were used to determine whether the recombination activating gene1/2 (RAG1 and RAG2) is present. The expression of three immunoglobulin transcription factors, EBF, E2A and Pax5, and the heavy chain of IgA1 and two types of light chains of immunoglobulin (κ and λ) in the aforementioned cell lines were analyzed by RT-PCR and immunochemistry, respectively. All the RT-PCR products were analyzed by sequencing. RESULTS: The results of RT-PCR and immunochemistry showed that both mRNA and protein of SNC73 were expressed in five human epitheliα-derived cancer cell lines. These data were further confirmed in the normal epithelial cells of colon mucosa by in situ hybridization. Also, the heavy chain of IgA1 and κ light chain were detected in these cells, but no λ light chain was observed. Both RAG1 and RAG2 were expressed in these human epitheliα-derived cancer cell lines and the sequence was identical to that expressed in pre-B and pre-T cells. In addition to RAG1 and RAG2, the mRNA in one of the immunoglobulin transcription factors, EBF, was also detected in these cell lines, and Pax5 was only expressed in SW480 cells, but no expression of E2A was observed in all the five cell lines. CONCLUSION: Immunoglobulin A1 is originally expressed and V(D)J recombination machine is also present in non-lymphoid cells, suggesting that V(D)J recombination machine mediates the assembly of immunoglobulin A1 in non-lymphoid cells as in prelymphocytes.展开更多

Methods: The pcDNA3-HA-p73α plasmid was transferred into the cultured p53-null H1299 cells of human lung adenocarcinoma with the mediation of Dosper liposome; The cells resistant to G418 were selected. The expression of p73α gene in the cells was examined with Western blot. MTT assay was used to analyze the response of the transfected cells to cis-dichlorodiamine platinum (cDDP) and adriamycin (ADM). The rate of drug-induced apoptosis of the transfected cells was determined with flow cytometry and DNA fragmentation assay. The changes of the biological behaviors were observed with colony formation assay. Results: The transfected H1299 cells of human lung adenocarcinoma over-expressed p73α protein stably. MTT assay showed that the IC 50 values of cDDP and ADM were reduced by approximately 7 fold and 130 fold respectively in the transfected cells as compared with the untransfected ones. Lower concentration of the chemotherapeutic agents (1.25 μmol/L of cDDP and 0.05 μmol/L of ADM) could be employed to suppress markedly the growth of the transfected H1299 cells. The apoptotic rate induced by cDDP was increased from 10.1% to 38 4% (P<0.01) and that of ADM from 12.1% to 49.3% (P<0.01). The clonogenecity after the administration of chemotherapeutic agents was significantly lower in the transfected H1299 cells than in the parental cells (P<0.01). The sensitive enhancement ratios were 1.8 and 2.6 for cDDP and ADM respectively. Conclusion: The transfection of H1299 cells with wild type p73α gene results in an increase of the sensitivity of the cells to chemotherapeutic agents.展开更多

METHODS Genotyping of the polymorphism of the p73 gene was conducted with PCR-CTPP. RESULTS All 385 GC patients including 305 diffuse-type and 80 intestinal-type cases and 412 healthy controls were investigated.The frequencies of p73 AT/AT,AT/GC,and GC/GC genotypes were 28.1%,47.1%,and 24.8% in the controls,and were 22.0%,45.0%,and 33.0% in GC cases respectively;the GC/GC homozygote frequency was higher in GC cases,mainly in diffuse type compared to the controls with OR=1.71(1.16~2.51) and 1.87 (95%CI,1.24~2.81) respectively.The results showed that carriers of the p73 G4A GC/GC homozygote had a 1.71-time higher risk of GC,especially of the diffuse-type GC compared to the controls. The carriers of the AT/GC heterozygote also had a slightly increased risk of GC cancer,mainly on intestinal-type GC.This is the first report that the p73 G4A double-nucleotide polymorphism is associated with an increased risk of diffuse-type gastric cancer. CONCLUTION The p73 G4A GC/GC genotype is associated with an increased risk of gastric cancer,especially of the GC diffuse-type.展开更多

Methods: Semi-quantitative reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to study the expression of△Np73 mRNA in 51 resected NSCLC tissues. Its relation to clinicopathological factors and survival outcome were analyzed. Results: The positive rate and expression level of△Np73 mRNA in the cancer tissues were significantly higher than that in the matched non-cancer lung tissues. The incidence of positive expression of△Np73 was 50. 0% , 52. 6% , and 87. 5% in patients with stageⅠ,Ⅱ, andⅢ, respectively. Positive expression of△Np73 was associated with pathological TNM stage (P = 0. 046), while not with age, gender, histological type and differentiation status. Survival rate of patients with high△Np73 mRNA was significantly poorer than those with low△Np73 mRNA levels (P<0. 001). Multivariate analysis revealed that△Np73 mRNA levels were a significant prognostic factor, independent of the other conventional prognostic factors. Conclusion: NSCLC has over-expression of△Np73 mRNA, which is closely related to TNM stages and prognosis of patients with NSCLC. These results suggest that measurement of△Np73 mRNA levels in tumor tissues might be useful as a promising predictor for the prognosis of patients with NSCLC.展开更多
