Large-scale molecular and tissue microarray analysis of mesothelin expression in common human carcinomas

The 40-kilodalton processed glycoprotein, mesothelin, is highly expressed in epithelial mesotheliomas and adenocarcinomas of the ovary (serous papillary) and pancreas, but its expression in a large series of other common carcinomas has not been completely explored. In the present study, we used oligonucleotide and tissue microarrays to profile the expression of the mesothelin gene (MSLN) and encoded protein, respectively. Among 150 carcinomas of multiple anatomic sites, we found the highest average expression of MSLN in serous carcinomas of the ovary and adenocarcinomas of the pancreas, consistent with previous reports, as well as measurable but less-striking expression in pulmonary, gastric/esophageal, and colorectal adenocarcinomas. On tissue microarrays containing 621 carcinomas derived from the same and additional sites as those profiled by gene expression, mesothelin immunoreactivity was highest in cancers of the ovary (serous papillary, endometrioid, and undifferentiated) and pancreas, with less frequent staining seen in adenocarcinomas of the endometrium, lung, and stomach/esophagus. Some immunopositivity was observed in 42% of pulmonary adenocarcinomas, including 18% that had >50% of tumor cells that were immunoreactive. Some 14% of breast and 30% of colorectal adenocarcinomas showed immunopositivity, but no case contained >50% tumor cells that were immunoreactive. Mesothelin was either entirely absent or present in <5% of carcinomas of the prostate, bladder/ureter, liver, kidney, and thyroid. Overall, we observed good concordance between the results obtained by oligonucleotide and tissue microarrays. This large study of the MSLN gene and protein expression in common carcinomas provides data for future investigations that evaluate the utility of mesothelin/megakaryocyte potentiating factor as a potential serum tumor marker or target of immunotoxin-based therapy in human cancers.     

Genetic study of Apolipoprotein E gene,alpha‐1 antichymotrypsin gene in sporadic Parkinson disease

Several lines of evidence have suggested some common genetic risk factors for Alzheimer disease (AD) and Parkinson disease (PD) because there are some overlapping pathologies in these two neurodegenerative diseases. In the present study, we investigated the role of Apolipoprotein E gene polymorphism and the signal peptide polymorphism in alpha‐1 antichymotrypsin (ACT) gene in idiopathic sporadic PD. The study was performed in a sample consisting of 68 PD cases and 160 healthy subjects in Shanghai China. We found no significant differences of ACT gene polymorphic distribution between PD cases and controls. The ApoE gene ε2/ε4 genotype was significantly more frequent in PD subjects (χ² = 7.126, df = 1, P = 0.008) and conferred a 12.70 times susceptibility for PD (OR = 12.62, 95% CI: 1.445–110.17, χ² = 5.259, P < 0.05, AF = 4.59%). No interaction of ApoE and ACT genes was detected in PD. Therefore, our data suggested that the ApoE ε2/ε4 genotype might be a susceptibility variant of moderate effect for sporadic idiopathic PD in our samples, whereas the ACT gene signal peptide polymorphism might not. © 2002 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

一个遗传性非综合征型耳聋家系的突变分析

目的分析一个遗传性非综合征型耳聋家系的突变，并探讨缝隙连接蛋白beta2(gap junction protein beta 2，GJB2)基因235delC突变是否会加重线粒体A1555G突变导致的非综合征型耳聋症状。方法对一个母系遗传性非综合征型耳聋核心家系72个成员取外周血提取DNA，经聚合酶链反应扩增后，利用Alw26Ⅰ限制性内切酶酶切及直接测序验证，对其线粒体DNA突变进行研究；利用ApaⅠ限制性内切酶酶切及直接测序验证，筛查核心家系中GJB2基因235delC突变情况，并对GJB2基因235delC和线粒体A1555G突变的关系进行研究。结果在27名母系成员中均发现具有线粒体A1555G突变，呈母系遗传；具有耳聋表型的为21人(77．8％)，家族外显率高；所筛查的包括配偶在内的72名个体中，仅3例具有GJB2基因235delC杂合子突变，且均出现在母系成员中，但3例的耳聋表型却不同。结论线粒体A1555G突变是本家系耳聋遗传易感性的基础，在该家系中GJB2基因的235delC杂合子突变未加重线粒体A1555G突变导致的非综合征型耳聋。     

Instructive niches: environmental instructions that confound NG2 proteoglycan expression and the fate-restriction of CNS progenitors

Cellullar deficits are replenished within the central nervous system (CNS) by progenitors to maintain integrity and recover function after injury. NG2 proteoglycan-expressing progenitors replenish oligodendrocyte populations, but the nature of NG2 proteoglycan may not indicate a restricted population of progenitors. After injury, restorative spatiotemporal cues have the potential ability to regulate divergent fate-choices for NG2 progenitors, and NG2 progenitors are known to produce multiple cell types in vitro. Recent data suggest that NG2 expression is attenuated while protein levels remain high within injurious tissue; thus, NG2 expression is not static but transiently controlled in response to a dynamic interplay of environmental cues. Therefore, NG2 proteoglycan expression could label newly generated cells or be inherited by resident cell populations that produce oligodendrocytes for remyelination, astrocytes that provide trophic support and other cells that contribute to CNS function.     

中国胰岛素依赖性糖尿病病人（HLA－DR9）的HLA－DQB1基因顺序分析

用血清学方法研究显示中国人胰岛素依赖性糖尿病（ＩＤＤＭ）与ＨＬＡ－ＤＲ９相关。鉴于白种人中的研究显示ＩＤＤＭ与ＨＬＡ－ＤＱβ链第５７位氨基酸相关，Ａｓｐ－５７对ＩＤＤＭ呈抗性，ｎｏｎ－Ａｓｐ与ＩＤＤＭ易感性相关。我们用ＰＣＲ技术扩增了中国人中血清学ＤＲ９纯合的ＩＤＤＭ患者和正常对照的ＨＬＡ－ＤＱＢ１基因第二外显子并测定了核苷酸顺序，结果未发现ＩＤＤＭ特异ＨＬＡ－ＤＱＢ１等位基因，但发现ＩＤＤＭ病人ＨＬＡ－ＤＱＢ１５７位均为天冬氨酸。表明中国ＩＤＤＭ患者中的ＨＬＡ－ＤＱＢ１５７位天冬氨酸不一定具有保护个体抵抗ＩＤＤＭ的足够能力。ＩＤＤＭ易感性可能涉及多个基因位点的变化，另外还可能与其它遗传因素及环境因素有关。
