PTEN基因在哈萨克族食管癌组织中的表达及意义

通过观察PTEN在哈萨克族食管癌癌组织及相应正常组织中的表达,探讨PTEN基因在哈萨克族食管癌发生中的作用。采用RT-PCR方法检测PTEN基因mRNA在36例哈萨克族食管癌及相应正常组织标本中的表达,选取mRNA水平差异组织标本,采用Western-bolt方法检测其蛋白水平的表达情况。结果显示,PTEN基因mRNA在36例癌组织中有30例表达,阳性率为83.33%。其中癌组织表达量高于相应正常组织(TN)21例,占70%;癌组织表达量等于相应正常组织(T=N)4例,占13.33%;癌组织表达量低于相应正常组织(TN)5例,占16.67%。PTEN基因mRNA在正常组织中表达仅有9例。癌组织与相应正常组织相比,PTEN基因的表达量明显增高。PTEN蛋白的表达在癌组织与相应正常组织中无明显差异。结果表明,PTEN基因的异常表达主要在转录水平,可能不是哈萨克族食管癌发生发展中的主导基因,其对哈萨克族食管癌发生发展过程中的具体作用有待进一步研究。

Controlled synthesis of HBsAg in a differentiated human liver carcinoma-derived cell line.

A significant aspect of primary hepatic carcinoma in man is the high positive correlation of hepatocellular carcinoma with infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV)1. Analysis of the relationship between HBV infection and oncogenesis is difficult because natural infection with HBV is limited to man and experimental infection has been achieved only in chimpanzees and gibbons. Furthermore, because HBV has not been successfully propagated in cell culture, basic study of virus-cell interaction of the aetiological agent of one of the most widespread infections of man has been impossible. Recently, however, a cell line (PLC/PRF/5) derived from a human hepatoma biopsy was described which produces the HRV surface antigen (HBsAg) and so provides a tool for the experimental investigation of HBV in viro. We now report the derivation and characterisation of two additional cell lines primary liver carcinomas. In contrast to the PLC/PRF/5 cell line, these cell lines retain the capacity to synthesise many human plasma proteins, including both albumin and alpha-fetoprotein (AFP). One of these lines also produces BHsAg. We also present evidence that HBsAg synthesis and secretion in this cell line are correlated with the growth state of the culture. This finding is in contrast to the continuous HBsAg production found in the PLC/PRF/5 cell line.     

Human N-myc gene contributes to neoplastic transformation of mammalian cells in culture

Proto-oncogenes represent a group of eukaryotic genes whose activated forms are implicated in the development of cancer. We have recently identified a human gene, N-myc, that is distantly related to the proto-oncogene c-myc. N-myc is expressed at abnormally high levels consequent to amplification in numerous human neuroblastoma cell lines and metastatic neuroblastoma tumours. In addition, enhanced expression of N-myc, often a result of amplification, has been found in retinoblastoma cell lines and tumours (refs 5, 7 and M.S., unpublished data) and in cell lines derived from small-cell carcinomas of the lung. Here, we show that enhanced expression of N-myc subsequent to co-transfections of an N-myc expression vector and the mutant c-Ha-ras-1(EJ) (from the human bladder carcinoma cell line EJ) is a factor in tumorigenic conversion of secondary rat embryo cells. The transformed cells elicit tumours in athymic mice and isogeneic rats. The ability of N-myc to contribute to neoplastic transformation of cultured mammalian cells raises the possibility that enhanced expression consequent to amplification of N-myc may be a factor in the aetiology of human neuroblastoma.     

Mechanism of activation of a human oncogene

The oncogene of the human EJ bladder carcinoma cell lines arose via alteration of a cellular proto-oncogene. Experiments are presented that localize the genetic lesion that led to activation of the oncogene. The lesion has no affect on levels of expression of the oncogene. Instead, it affects the structure of the oncogene-encoded protein.

Glucocorticoid-dependent oncogenic transformation by type 16 but not type 11 human papilloma virus DNA

Squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix is one of the most common cancers among women. Correlation between human papilloma virus (HPV) infection of the uterine cervix and the development of cervical neoplasia has been established. More recent studies have shown the presence and expression of integrated HPV types 16 and 18 DNA sequences in 70-80% of cervical tumours and tumour cell lines. It has been suggested that, in addition to HPVs, other agents such as hormones and tobacco products act as cofactors in cervical neoplasia (for review see ref. 15). The presence and expression of a glucocorticoid-responsive element in HPV-16 has been reported. Here we provide evidence for the oncogenic transformation of primary cells with a combination of HPV-16 DNA, but not HPV-11 DNA, and the activated form of the human Ha-ras oncogene only in the presence of the glucocorticoid hormone dexamethasone.

四株肺癌细胞系的维甲酸受体表达的研究

目的：观察来源于不同组织学类型的人肺癌细胞系（肺巨细胞癌细胞系PLA-801,肺鳞状上皮细胞癌细胞系C-57,个旧肺腺癌细胞系GLC-82和肺腺癌细胞系PC-84045）的维甲酸受体的含量和分布特征。方法：作ELISA和免疫组化显色计算机图象分析方法,对4株具有不同侵袭潜能,不同组织学类型的肺癌细胞系的维甲酸受体（RARs、RAR和RXRs）进行检测。结果：4株细胞系的RARβ的表达极少,甚至缺如;RARs主要分布在癌细胞胞浆中,但RXRs主要位于细胞核内,表达水平较高;RARs和RXRs在PLA-801细胞中表达最低。结论：肺癌中普遍存在着RAR的表达分布异常,这些改变可能与肺癌的异常分化有关,亦可能是肺癌细胞对维甲酸诱导分化不敏感的重要原因。RXRs较高水平的表达且主要位于核内,提示用9-顺式维甲酸来诱导肺癌的分化效果可能会较好。     

Homeobox gene Nkx2.2 and specification of neuronal identity by graded Sonic hedgehog signalling

During vertebrate development, the specification of distinct cell types is thought to be controlled by inductive signals acting at different concentration thresholds. The degree of receptor activation in response to these signals is a known determinant of cell fate, but the later steps at which graded signals are converted into all-or-none distinctions in cell identity remain poorly resolved. In the ventral neural tube, motor neuron and interneuron generation depends on the graded activity of the signalling protein Sonic hedgehog (Shh). These neuronal subtypes derive from distinct progenitor cell populations that express the homeodomain proteins Nkx2.2 or Pax6 in response to graded Shh signalling. In mice lacking Pax6, progenitor cells generate neurons characteristic of exposure to greater Shh activity. However, Nkx2.2 expression expands dosally in Pax6 mutants, raising the possibility that Pax6 controls neuronal pattern indirectly. Here we provide evidence that Nkx2.2 has a primary role in ventral neuronal patterning. In Nkx2.2 mutants, Pax6 expression is unchanged but cells undergo a ventral-to-dorsal transformation in fate and generate motor neurons rather than interneurons. Thus, Nkx2.2 has an essential role in interpreting graded Shh signals and selecting neuronal identity.
