癌组织中p16基因甲基化分析

目的探讨抑癌基因p16在胃癌组织中是否存在甲基化异常及其与胃癌发生发展的关系.方法对20例胃癌组织及相应正常胃粘膜组织应用甲基敏感酶(HpaII)和甲基非敏感酶(MspI)酶切,结合PCR扩增技术,对p16基因外显子1、外显子2的二核苷酸胞嘧啶特定序列5'-CCGG-3'位点甲基化进行检测.结果20例胃癌组织中,p16基因外显子1、2异常甲基化分别为5例(25%)和9例(45%),正常组织未发现甲基化异常;14例高甲基化标本中,中分化胃癌4例,低分化7例,高分化1例;有2例存在外显子1、2同时甲基化异常,二者均为低分化胃癌,进展期胃癌(Ⅲa、Ⅳ期各1例)中1例呈现泳动易位;外显子2甲基化异常多发生于晚期肿瘤患者(P<0.05).结论p16基因甲基化异常可能会造成基因功能丧失,从而失去对细胞增殖的负性调控作用,导致胃癌发生与进展;外显子2高甲基化与临床进展有关,可能为晚期事件.

Correlation of antiinflammatory and hormonal activity of derivatives of the 8,16-diazasteroid series

Antiinflammatory activity and mechanism of action are studied for seven compounds of the 8,16-diazasteroid series. It is established that the antiinflammatory activity of the compounds is increased on the whole due to the reduced ketofunction in the 12 position of 8,16-diazasteroid as well as for the introduction of methoxy groups in the 2 and 3 position or phenol substitute in the 16 position. The activity of compounds VI and VII also depends on the inflammation model or on the pain reaction and differs significantly from the effectiveness of diclofenac sodium and prednisolone. Unlike the latter, the compounds under study are virtually devoid of hormonal activity.

Fibrinogen osaka IV: A congenital dysfibrinogenemia found in a patient originally reported in relation to surgery,now defined to have an Aα arginine-16 to histidine substitution

We discovered a congenital heterozygous dysfibrinogen in a patient and reported this case in relation to surgery some time ago (Jpn J Surg (1988) 18:43–46).³ Further studies on the isolated abnormal population of fibrinogen derived from this patient have revealed that fibrinopeptide A was not cleaved by ancrod, a snake venom-derived thrombin-like enzyme, but by thrombin, slowly but completely. The released fibrinopeptide A components, being the A, AY, and AP peptides, were all found to be abnormal, as evidenced by slightly earlier elution positions on high-performance liquid chromatography, compared with the normal counterparts. By analyzing their amino acid sequence, we have identified an arginine to histidine substitution at position 16 of the A chain, the thrombin cleavage site. Utilizing insolubilized abnormal fibrinogen, we confirmed that the polymerization site assigned to the central E domain, the A site, was exposed by thrombin, but not by ancrod. This dysfibrinogen, designated as fibrinogen Osaka IV, is the second abnormal molecule with an A arginine-16 to histidine substitution identified among Japanese families.
