肺癌组织CDKN2/p16基因点突变的分析

目的 研究我国肺癌组织中CDKN2／p16基因点突变的发生情况。方法 采用聚合酶链反应－单链构象多态性和序列分析的方法，对89例肺癌组织中CDKN2／p16基因第2外显子的点突变进行了研究。结果 在未发生第2外显子缺失的69例肺癌组织中，发现CDKN2／p16基因第2外显子变异或可疑变异者16例；对该16例进行序列分析，共发现有9例存在不同类型的基因点突变。结论 点突变是CDKN2／p16基因失活的一种形式，但不是主要形式。由点突变引起的CDKN2／p16基因失活在肺癌的发生发展中起一定的作用。

Analysis on point mutation of the CDKN2/p16 gene in lung cancer

Objective To study the status of CDKN2/p16 gene point mutation in lung cancer. Methods Polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and sequencing were used to detect the point mutation of CDKN2/p16 gene exon 2 in 89 cases of lung cancer. Results In 69 cases of the lung cancer without deletion of CDKN2/p16 gene exon 2, 16 cases were found to have suspicious abnormality of CDKN2/p16 gene exon 2 by PCR-SSCP, and in these 16 cases, 9 were found to harbor point mutations of CDKN2/p16 gene exon 2 by automated sequencing analysis. Conclusion The point mutation is one of the mechanisms for CDKN2/p16 gene inactivation, but it is not the chief mechanism. The inactivation of CDKN2/p16 gene aroused by point mutation plays a role to some extent in the genesis and progression of lung cancer.
