肿瘤转移抑制基因HTPAP的Haploview单体型构建分析

目的 通过单核苷酸多态性(SNP)检测对肿瘤转移抑制基因HTPAP进行单体型构建和分析.方法 取100例肝细胞癌(HCC)新鲜标本,应用激光捕获组织显微切割获取纯肝癌细胞、提取DNA,对HTPAP基因上已登录的15个SNP位点进行检测,应用Haploview软件构建单体型.结果 15个SNP位点中,有8个表现为单态、5个呈多态性、2个未能检测出.对100例肝细胞癌的该5个多态位点进行单体型构建后发现11种单体型,其中3种单体型(C-A-T-C-A、C-G-T-C-A和T-A-G-G-G)最常见,占87%,另外8种单体型占13%.4个SNP(rs7007097、rs3830326、rs1149、rs3739252)表现为强连锁不平衡关系,尽管rs11539529出现重组现象,但从整体看还是属于同一个单体型块.结论 肿瘤转移抑制基因HTPAP在肝癌中常见C-A-T-C-A、C-G-T-C-A和T-A-G-G-G三种单体型,针对不同单体型研究分析可能为肝癌转移复发、预后预测提供新的途径和指标.     

汉族人维生素D受体基因TruⅠ和FokⅠ多态性与腰椎间盘退变的关系

[目的]探讨汉族人维生素D受体(vitamin D receptor,VDR)基因多态性与腰椎间盘退变(lumbar disc degeneration,LDD)的关系.[方法]收集182例汉族人静脉血标本和腰椎MRI,其中对照组101例,病例组81例.用聚合酶链反应-限制性片段长度多态性(PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism,PCR-RFLP)法测定2组标本的VDR基因TruⅠ和FokⅠ酶切位点多态性;根据MRI显示的信号差异按Schneiderman分级法确定各个体腰椎间盘的退变程度,分无、轻、中、重4组.分析病例对照组中基因型、等位基因频率的分布规律,分析其中小于45岁(包括45岁)者基因型及基因频率分布与椎间盘退变程度的关系.[结果]对照组中FokⅠ和TruⅠ的等位基因频率分布为F 59.4%,f 40.6%和T 79.2%,t 20.8%;病例组中FokⅠ和TruⅠ等位基因频率的分布为F 53.7%,f 46.3%和T 80.9%,t 19.1%,二组中的分布差别无统计学意义,P＞0.05;在MRI分组中VDR基因TruⅠ和FokⅠ酶切位点的基因型和等位基因频率在组中分布差异也无显著性,P＞0.05.[结论]VDR基因TruⅠ和FokⅠ酶切位点多态性和汉族人LDD无关.

FasL基因表达对缺氧状态下直肠癌细胞增殖凋亡的影响

Objective To elucidate the effect of FasL gene expression on the proliferation and apoptosis of hypoxic rectal carcinoma cells. Methods The normoxic expression level of FasL in HR-8348 subtype cells (HR-8348B, HR-8348L, HR-8348F and HR-8348As) with different invasive power were verified by Western blot. Hypoxia models for HR-8348B, HR-8348L, HR-8348F and HR-8348As were constructed with chemical modeling, then the FasL levels in all groups at 12 h after hypoxia were quantitated by Western blot. Distribution of different cell life cycles was determined with flow cytometry. Cell reproductive activities were detected with MTT method, and cell apoptesis was assessed with TUNEL. Results FasL protein was pigmentized at the position of 40 000 by Western blot, and the expression level of FasL was significantly higher in HR-8348F cells than those in HR-8348B, HR-8348L and HR-8348As cells(F=361.149, P<0.01) in normoxia. At 12 h after hypoxia, the FasL level was also significantly higher in HR-8348F cells than those in other groups (F=278.766, P<0.01), but was not markedly different as compared to themselves in normoxia (t=1.762, P>0.05). The proliferation index was significantly higher in HR-8348F (60.43±3.72) than those in HR-8348B (40.01±3.30), HR-8348L (41.30±4.06) and HR-8348As cells (35.87±4.39), respectively (F=39.477, P<0.01). However, both inhibition rate of proliferation and apoptotic index were remarkably lower in HR-8348F (17.30±1.98 and 13.10±1.04) than those in HR-834B (33.70±4.33 and 21.60±1.31), HR-8348L (34.20±3.92 and 20.10±1.15), and HR-8348As (38.00±4.55 and 23.90±1.23), respectively (F=28.811 and 76.462, respectively, P<0.01). Conclusion The expression enhancement of intracellular FasL in rectal carcinoma in hypoxia can lead to accelerated proliferation and reduced apeptosis of cells, which will promote tumor cells to adapt microenvironmental hypoxia.
