METHODS: Semi-nested in situ PCR (SNISPCR) and immunohistochemistry were performed to detect bcl-2/JH fusion gene and bcl-2, bax protein expression in 29 cases of CCC. RESULTS: No bcl-2/JH fusion gene was found in all cases of CCC, 72.4% of 29 cases expressed bcl-2 protein. Bcl-2 protein expression was related to histopathological grades (P<0.05). There was no corresponding relationship between bcl-2/JH fusion gene formation and bcl-2 protein expression in CCC (P<0.05). Bax was expressed in 10.3% of 29 cases. The ratio of bcl-2 to bax in normal liver tissues (3.5 to 1) was different from that in tumor tissues (7.0 to 1). CONCLUSION: It is suggested that bcl-2/JH fusion gene formation is not a frequent event and may not play an important role in the pathogenesis of CCC. However, aberrant ratio of bcl-2 to bax protein expression may be involved in the course of tumorigenesis of CCC. Abnormal bcl-2 protein expression may not be solely resulted from bcl-2/JH fusion gene.展开更多

Methods: Semi-nested in situ PCR (SNISPCR) technique was used to detected bcl-2/JH fusion gene in 40 cases of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). Results: Bcl-2/JH fusion gene was detected in 10 of 40 HCC. There were no significant differences in bcl-2/JH fusion formation between histopathological grades and metastases (P>0.05). Conclusion: By detecting bcl-2 fusion gene in HCC, we think that t(14; 18) chromosomal translocation is not a specific change in lymphoma. t(14; 18) chromosomal translocation may not an important cause in pathologenesis of HCC.展开更多
