人乳头状瘤病毒感染与肺癌关系的研究进展

近年越来越多的研究发现肺癌组织中有人乳头状瘤病毒（human papillomavirus,HPV）DNA和癌蛋白的检出,其检出率具有地域差异性,但不同地方HPV检出亚型具有高度的一致性,主要是高危型HPV-16和HPV-18。HPV可能主要通过血液循环从宫颈癌病灶等原发部位转移到肺,从而可能诱发肺癌的发生。HPV诱发肺癌的机制可能与影响p53的失活及端粒酶的激活等有关。     

应用PCR及寡核苷酸探针研究人原发性肺癌中Ki-ras点突变

应用PCR及寡核苷酸探针杂交方法研究了50例人原发性肺癌石蜡切片标本 中Ki-ras 12(Val),Ki-ras 13(Cys)点突变,发现13例为点突变阳性,突变率为26％,其中3例同时兼有二种点突变(Val/Cys);Ki-ras 12位的点突变率(20％)比Ki-ras 13位的点突变率(12％)高。同时还发现Ki-ras基因的点突变存在于腺癌、鳞癌、小细胞肺癌以及各种分化程度的肺癌中。     

Lack of detection of human papillomavirus DNA in prostate carcinomas in patients from northeastern Brazil

Prostate cancer is the second most common cancer among men in western populations, and despite its high mortality, its etiology remains unknown. Inflammatory processes are related to the etiology of various types of tumors, and prostate inflammation, in particular, has been associated with prostate cancer carcinogenesis and progression. Human papillomavirus (HPV) is associated with benign and malignant lesions in the anogenital tract of both females and males. The possible role of HPV in prostate carcinogenesis is a subject of great controversy. In this study, we aimed to examine the prevalence of HPV infections in prostate carcinomas of patients from northeastern Brazil. This study included 104 tissue samples from primary prostate carcinoma cases. HPV DNA was purified and then amplified using MY09/11 and GP5+/GP6+ degenerate primer sets that detect a wide range of HPV types, and with specific PCR primers sets for E6 and E7 HPV regions to detect HPV 16. None of the samples showed amplification products of HPV DNA for primer sets MY09/11 and GP5+/GP6+, or the specific primer set for the E6 and E7 HPV regions. HPV infection, thus, does not seem to be one of the causes of prostate cancer in the population studied.     

巢式甲基化特异性PCR检测肺癌病人WIF-1基因启动子区异常甲基化

为了检测肺癌患者血浆中WIF-I基因启动子区的甲基化状态,收集肺癌患者及健康对照者的血浆标本,采用巢式甲基化特异性PCR（nMSP）法检测WIF-I基因启动子区甲基化状态,并与普通甲基化特异性PCR（MSP）法进行了比较,结果在58例肺癌患者血浆样品中经nMSP法发现20例WIF-I基因启动子的过甲基化,用MSP法只检出10例,有吸烟史组WIF-1基因的甲基化率高于无吸烟史组（P〈0．05）．而20例正常对照血浆中都未检测到形胆J基因启动子的过甲基化;表明利用巢式MSP（nMSP）法检测外周血血浆中WIF-1基因启动子的甲基化,可为非损伤性筛选和早期诊断肺癌提供有价值的信息．     

A prospective study of human papillomavirus infection of the cervix

In a prospective study 42 women, diagnosed as having low grade cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN), made a total of 281 clinic visits over a 45 month period. At each visit, they were subjected to cytological and colposcopical examination and samples were taken for human papillomavirus (HPV) DNA hybridization studies and for the detection of non-HPV infections. HPV types 16 and/or 18 were found in 25% of all the samples tested and these virus types were detected in five of six (83%) women whose lesions progressed compared to seven of 14 (50%) of those whose lesions regressed. The presence of HPV DNA was not a good prognostic indicator of progression since half of those whose disease regressed also harboured these viruses at some time. The recording of non-HPV infections almost 10 times more often in the women whose disease regressed than in those whose disease progressed could probably be accounted for by the former having a larger number of follow-up visits. Nevertheless, the significance of non-HPV infections also remains unclear.     

肺癌病人肿瘤组织DNA高甲基化片段的筛选

关于DNA甲基化在肿瘤中的作用的研究,大多集中在研究已知的抑癌基因启动子区的异常高甲基化。而一些未知的参与肿瘤发生的基因也可能受甲基化调控,寻找这些与肿瘤相关的基因,对深入了解肿瘤发生的机制具有重要意义。利用甲基化敏感性随机引物PCR(Methyrlation-Sensitive Arbitrarily Primed PCR,MS-AP-PCR),检查了肺癌组织中基因组范围内CpG岛高甲基化情况,分离到8个高甲基化片段(hypermethylated DNA fragment．HMDF)。通过克隆、测序和Blast、NewCpGseek软件分析,发现所有的片段均为典型的CpG岛,有4个片段与人2、7、9、10号染色体上的同源性为99％～100％,但只有1个是已知的基因。进一步利用Neural Network Promoter Prediction、TSSG和TSSW等软件对其余7个片段可能的生物学意义进行了分析,结果有4个片段是候选的启动子区,提示它们可能源于新基因。所获得的高甲基化片段可能是中国人肺癌发生过程中特有的表遗传学改变。

多重PCR同时检测人乳头瘤病毒、巨细胞病毒和沙眼衣原体

为了应用聚合酶链反应同时检测人巨细胞病毒（CMV）、人乳头瘤病毒（HPV）、沙眼衣原体（CT）,参照文献报道的基因序列,设计合成了三对能扩增370bp、450bp、510bp基因片段的引物,并对PCR扩增条件进行了优化。0.1fgHPV－DNA、CMV－DNA、CT－DNA即可被检出,得到了与设计片段相同的产物,且不扩增大肠杆菌、白色念球菌、解尿支原体等病原的核酸。对395例标本进行检查,各病原体的检出率分别是：HPV19.2%、CMV14.9%、CT5.1%。其中混合感染42例。PCR同时检测CMV、HPV、CT经济、快速、敏感、特异,可用于临床诊断和实验研究。

Asymptomatic Plasmodium malariae infections in children from suburban areas of Yaoundé, Cameroon

The gold standard for malaria diagnosis is the microscopic examination of Giemsa stained thick blood smears though microscopy mostly may not detect the presence of Plasmodium species infections in asymptomatic samples. In the reported study, we used two diagnostic methods viz. the conventional microscopic examination and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) assay to analyse the asymptomatic malaria samples. PCR assay amplifying 18S small-subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU rRNA) gene of Plasmodium in 122 samples confirmed 68% of isolates as asymptomatic P. falciparum infections; with 87.9% mono-infections. We observed that the P. malariae positive samples were not diagnosed in microscopic examination of the blood smears but the PCR based diagnostic method revealed the presence of 12% P. malariae infections in asymptomatic samples from Yaoundé region of Cameroon where no official cases of P. malariae have been reported for over a decade. The sequence analysis further confirmed the presence of 12% P. malariae in malaria positive samples with three base pair deletions and five substitutions in the SSU rRNA gene.
