聚合酶链反应-单链构象多态法在研究新疆地方性砷中毒患者p53基因突变中的应用

目的 探索砷致癌的基因多态性,为进一步研究砷对人体健康作用的远期影响提供科学依据.方法 于2001年采集新疆奎屯123团4例经病理诊断为皮肤癌的砷中毒患者的6份皮肤癌石蜡包埋组织及其4份血液组织;采集奎屯128团2例经病理诊断为皮肤癌的砷中毒患者和2例癌前砷中毒患者的血液组织;采集对照区新疆奎屯125团2例健康居民的血液组织.采用聚合酶链反应-单链构象多态(PCR-SSCP)银染术测定p53基因外显子(exon,E)5～9突变情况.结果 p53基因中,仅E6、E7发生突变.凝胶电泳成像显示,p53基因E6、E7有异常条带、条带缺失及条带上移现象.结论 砷对p53基因有致突变作用,突变位于E6、E7.

Detection of p53 Gene Mutation in Endemic Arsenism Patients by PCR-SSCP

Objective To study whether arsenic can induce p53 gene mutation in the lymphocytes in the peripheral blood and the skin cancer tissue of the patients with endemic arsenism in Xinjiang. Methods PCR-SSCP silver staining technique was employed to detect the mutation of exon E5-9 of p53 gene. Results Gel electrophoresis imaging demonstrated Exon E6, 7 of p53 gene appeared abnormal strips, strip absence and strip shift. Conclusion Arsenic can induce p53 gene mutation, the mutation sites located on exon E6,7.
