Methods: p21WAF1 /CIP1gene DNA of 36 osteosarcoma spec- imens was examined by using polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR- SSCP) method. The PCR products were sequenced directly. Results: In p21WAF1 /CIP1 gene exon3 of 36 cases of human osteosarcoma, the change of C→T in the p21WAF1 /CIP1gene CDNA sequence of position 609th occurred in 17 cases with the incidence being 44.4%. In 10 normal blood samples, DNA sequence analysis showed the change of C→T in the p21WAF1 /CIP1gene CDNA sequence of position 609th occurred in 8 cases with the incidence being 80%. Conclusion: The novel location of p21WAF1 /CIP1gene polymorphism of osteosarcoma, but not mutation was de?ned, and this location might provide the meaningful reference for the further research of p21WAF1/CIP1 gene.p2lWAF1/CIP1基因DNA序列分析及其与骨肉瘤表型的关系展开更多

Apoptosis, G0/G1 arrest, cell growth rate and cloning efficiency in soft agar of HepG2 were analyzed after transfection. In three hepatoma cell lineswith different endogenous p53 gene expressions, the synergistic effect of p33ING1b with p53 was analyzed by flow cytometry and luciferase assay was performed to detect the activation of p53 downstream gene p21WAF1/CIP1. In addition, the expression and mutation rates of p33ING1b in HCC tissues were measured by immunohistochemistry and polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP).RESULTS: Overexpression of p33ING1b inhibited cell growth of HepG2, induced more apoptosis and protected cells from growth in soft agar. Combined transfer of p33ING1b and p53 gene promoted hepatoma cell apoptosis, G0/G1 arrest and elevated expression of p21WAF1/CIP1. Immunostaining results showed co-localized P33ING1b with P53 protein in HCC tissues and there was a significant relation between protein expression rates of these two genes (P<0.01).Among 28 HCC samples, p33ING1b presented a low gene mutation rate (7.1%).CONCLUSION: p33ING1b collaborates with p53 in cell growth inhibition, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis in HCC. Loss or inactivation of p33ING1b normal function may be an important mechanism for the development of HCC retaining wildtype p53.展开更多

METHODS: Hale rats were randomly divided into four groups, namely intestinal ischemia-reperfusion group (R), aFGF treatment group (A), intestinal ischemia group (I), and sham-operated control group (C). In group I, the animals were killed after 45 min of superior mesenteric artery (SHA) occlusion. In groups R and A, the rats sustained for 45 min of SHA occlusion and were treated with normal saline (0.15 mL) and aFGF (20 μg/kg, 0.15 mL), then sustained at various times for up to 48 h after reperfusion. In group C, SHA was separated, but without occlusion. Apoptosis in intestinal villi was determined with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick-end labeling technique (TUNEL). Intestinal tissue samples were taken not only for RT- PCR to detect P53 and P21WAF-1 gene expression, but also for immunohistochemical analysis to detect P53 and P21WAF-1 protein expression and distribution. RESULTS: In histopathological study, ameliorated intestinal structures were observed at 2, 6, and 12 h after reperfusion in A group compared to R group. The apoptotic rates were (41.17±3.49)%, (42.83±5.23)%, and (53.33±6.92)% at 2, 6, and 12 h after reperfusion, respectively in A group, which were apparently lower than those in R group at their matched time points (50.67±6.95)%, (54.17±7.86)%, and (64.33±6.47)%, respectively, (P〈0.05)). The protein contents of P53 and P21WAF-1 were both significantly decreased in A group compared to R group (P〈0.05) at 2-12 h after reperfusion, while the mRNA levels of P53 and P21VVAF-1 in A group were obviously lower than those in R group at 6-12 h after reperfusion (P〈0.05). CONCLUSION: P53 and P21WAF-1 protein accumulations are associated with intestinal barrier injury induced by I-R insult, while intravenous aFGF can alleviate apoptosis of rat intestinal cells by inhibiting P53 and P21WAF-1 protein expression.展开更多
