Methods: Two sites of microsatellite polymorphism of RASSFIA gene were selected. Polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique was used to detect LOH and MSI in 50 cases of cervical carcinoma and 40 cases of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), and to detect the infection state of HPV16. Results: At D3S1478 and D3S4604, the LOH rates of cervical carcinomas were 32.6% (14/43) and 48.9% (23/47), the MSI rates were 14% (6/43) and 19.1% (9/47), respectively. The LOH rates of CINs were 31.4% (11/35) and 39.5% (15/38), the MSI rates were 11.4% (4/35) and 15.8% (6/38), respectively. There were no significant differences between cervical carcinomas and CINs in respect to their positive rates of LOH and MSI at D3S1478 and D3S4604 (P〉0.05). There were significant differences in LOH rates at D3S1478 and D3S4604 between the stage Ⅰ-Ⅱ and Ⅲ-Ⅳ cervical carcinomas and between the well/moderately differentiated cervical carcinomas and the poorly differentiated cervical carcinomas (P〈0.05). The positive rates of LOH and MSI for CIN Ⅲ and noninvasive cervical carcinomas were higher than those in CIN Ⅰ-Ⅱ. The rates of infection of HPV16 in cervical cancer was obviously higher than that in CIN and in normal cervical tissues (P〈0.05), and the incidence of LOH of RASSFIA gene was higher in HPV16(+) than that in HPV16(-) (P〈0.05). Conclusion: The RASSFIA gene change is a relatively late event in cervical carcinomas. The detection of LOH and MSI of RASSFIA gene might be helpful to the early diagnosis and the screening of cervical carcinoma. It might also be useful for predicting the prognosis of cervical carcinoma.展开更多

A characterization of Fura-2-Ca interaction in an isotonic saline solution showed that Ca^2+ formed a 1:1 Fura-2-Ca complex with the apparent dissociation constant 1.81×10^-7 mol/L. The mechanism, by which penicillin induced the decrease of [Ca^2+]i , was discussed in detail. The low dose of penicillin might modify the lymphocytes' immunology response by interfering the increase in the intracellular free calcium concentration.展开更多

The expression of cyclin E, p16ink4a and ki67 was examinated in 78 cervical exfoliated epithe- lial specimens diagnosed as atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCIIS) (12 cases), cervical intraepithe- lial neoplasia (CIN) of type 1 (17 cases), CIN2-3(38 cases) and invasive carcinoma (11 cases) using immunohistochemical analysis, and simultaneously, the DNA status of human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16/18 was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using type specific primers, cyclin E, pl6ink4a and ki67 were all overexpressed in CINs and invasive carci- noma, compared with little expression in ASCUS ( P < 0.005). Overexpression of cyclin E was observed in CIN1 (94.1 % , x2 = 21.16, P < 0.01), and pl6ink4a and ki67 were overexpressed in invasive carcinoma (100% and 90.9% respective- ly) . The degree of pl6ink4a and ki67 expression correlated well with that of epithelial lesions ( P < 0.005). HPV16/18 infec- tion was assessed in CINs and invasive carcinoma samples, and revealed a significant relationship with the degree of cervical epithelial lession. The expression level of pl6ink4a and ki67 seemed more closely associated with HPV16 infection than that of cyclin E ( r s = 1.0 vs rs = 0 . 4 ) . Only 1 case in CIN, and 4 cases in CIN2-3 of HPV18 positive samples were detected. Therefore no statistical significance was found by statistical analysis. Overexpression of cyclin E, p16ink4a and ki67 in CINs and invasive carcinoma cells demonstrates the potential use of cyclin E, p16ink4a and ki67 as diagnostic biomarkers for HPV-related cervical neoplastic lesions. In addition, this technique can be used for screening patients at high risk of devel- oping cervical carcinoma.展开更多
To investigate the expression of Bcl-2 and Survivin and HPV16/18 infection in uterine cervical carcinogenesis, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens from cervical carcinomas, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia ...To investigate the expression of Bcl-2 and Survivin and HPV16/18 infection in uterine cervical carcinogenesis, formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded specimens from cervical carcinomas, cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (C1N) and normal cervical tissues were studied. Using streptavidin-biotin peroxidase (S- P) immunohistochemical technique, the authors examined the expression of Bcl-2 and Survivin in these specimens. The number of apoptosis cells was assessed in situ by TdT-mediated dUTP-biotin end labeling (TUNEL) method. The infection of HPV type 16, 18 DNA were determined by PCR. It was found that there were significant differences in Bcl-2, Survivin and apoptotic index (AI) between cervical carcinomas, CIN and normal cervical tissues, respectively. Expression of Bcl-2 and AI were correlated with tu- mor grades, clinical stages and lymph node metastasis and expression of Survivin was associated with tu- mor grades and lymph node metastasis. There were different positive rate of HPV^s between cervical car- cinomas, C1N and normal tissues and were not associated with tumor grades, clinical stages and lymph node metastasis. The infection of HPV16/18 was associated with the expression of Bcl-2, Survivin and AI, respectively. It was concluded that the abnormal expression of Bcl-2, Survivin and infection of HPV16/18 were associated with cervical carcinomas. They possibly can be useful indexes for the primary screening and prognosis of cervical carcinomas.展开更多
