巨细胞病毒感染对动脉粥样硬化的影响

目的：研究巨细胞病毒(CMV)感染和动脉粥样硬化的关系，并探讨其可能机制。方法：通过一个大样本从血清流行病学(ELISA检测患者血清中抗CMV的IgG抗体)和分子生物学(PCR检测动脉粥样硬化病变中CMV特异性基因)方面探讨巨细胞病毒感染和动脉粥样硬化的关系，并检测CMV感染对内皮细胞趋化因子表达的影响。结果：动脉粥样硬化组血清中CMV的阳性率显著高于非动脉粥样硬化组(分别为82．2％和61．0％，P=0．02)；而且动脉粥样硬化斑块中HCMV基因出现率显著高于正常血管组织(13／15和2／7，P=0．01)；CMV感染还可上调内皮细胞：ECV-304表达MCP-1。结论：CMV感染参与动脉粥样硬化的形成和发生，这可能与CMV上调内皮细胞趋化因子表达有关。     

Significance of cyclin E, pl6ink4a and ki67 Overexpression in Cervical Exfoliated-cell Specimens for Primary Screening of HPV-related Cervical Carcinoma

The aim of this study is to investigate cyclin E, pl6inkda and ki67 as possible diagnostic biomarkers for cervical preneoplasia using cervical exfoliated-cell specimens, and evaluate the significance for screening patients at high risk of developing cervical carcinoma. The expression of cyclin E, pl6inkda and ki67 was examinated in 78 cervical exfoliated epithelial specimens diagnosed as atypical squamous cells of undetermined significance (ASCUS) (12 cases), cervical intraepithelial 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 papillomavims (HPY) type 16/18 was detected by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using type specific primers, cyclin E, pl6inkda and ki67 were all overexpressed in CINs and invasive carcinoma, compared with little expression in ASCUS ( P <0.005). Overexpression of cyclin E was observed in CIN1(94.1%, X^2 = 21.16, P < 0.01), and p16inkda and ki67 were overexpressed in invasive carcinoma (100% and 90.9% respectively). The degree of pl6inkda and ki67 expression correlated well with that of epithelial lesions ( P < 0.005). HPV16/18 infection was assessed in C1Ns and invasive carcinoma samples, and revealed a significant relationship with the degree of cervical epithelial lession. The expression level of pl6inkda and ki67 seemed more closely associated with HPVI6 infection than that of cyclin E (rs= 1.0 vs rs=0.4). Only 1 case in CINI and d cases in CIN2-3 of HPV18 positive samples were detected. Therefore no statistical significance was found by statistical analysis. Overexpression of cyclin E, pl6inkda and ki67 in CINs and invasive carcinoma cells demonstrates the potential use of cyclin E, pl6inkda 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 developing cervical carcinoma.

RADIATION INDUCED PROGRESSIVE DECREASING IN THE EXPRESSION OF REVERSE TRANSCRIPTASE GENE OF hEST2 AND TELOMERASE ACTIVITY

Objectites. In order to identify the relationship between telomerase and the biological effect of radiation injury, and investigate the role of human telomerase catalytic subunit gene (hEST2) reverse tranacriptase(RT) seg-ment in the expression of telomerase activity. Methods. Tumor FIeLa cells, KB cells and A431 cells were employed to measure the change in telomeraseactivity after 60Co-ray irradiation at RNA level and protein level. Quantitative PCR and Northern blotting wereused to determine the expression of bEST2 RT segment that encodes seven motifs of the human telomeres, a PCR-besed telomeric repeat amplification protocol (TRAP)was used to assay telomerase activity after exposure toradiation. Results. Both of telomerase activity and the expression hEST2 RT segment were decreased with increasingdosage of radiation. In addition, testing the expression of motifs domain is similar to the measurement of telomerase activity. Conclusion. The detection of the hEST2 BT segment by Northern blotting and quantitative PCR are new methods for testing Uflomerase activity. Furthermore, radiation can cause a dose-dependent decrease in telomerase activity. The effect of radiation on telomerase is one possible reason for the death of cancer ceils after irradiation.
