人肝细胞癌4号染色体高频率杂合子丢失的研究

目的 为克了生新的肝细胞（HCC）相关肿瘤抑制基因的供位点依据。方法 使用4号染色体的12个微卫星DNA多态性标志，分析了48例原发性HCC的杂合子丢失（LOH）。结果 44％（21／48）和63％3（30／48）的肿瘤组织中至少有1个位点的LOH分别发生在4p和4q。丢失图排列鉴定了两个独立的共同丢失片段（CDR）。第1个定位在4q22-q25的CDR位于D4S392和D4S1625位点之间；第2个定位在4q27-q31的CDR位于D4S1625和D4S1652位点之间。结论 至少有两个肿瘤抑制位点存在于4q.

Frequent loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 4 in human hepatocellular carcinoma

Objective Few previous studies have shown high frequency of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 4q in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). We define more clearly the deletion regions that may harbor the putative tumor suppressor genes in HCC. Methods Forty eight cases of HCC and their corresponding non tumor liver tissues were investigated with 12 microsatellite polymorphic markers for LOH. Results Twenty one of 48 (44%) and 30 of 48 (63%) tumors showed LOH on at least one locus on the short and the long arms respectively. Two distinct common deleted regions (CDR) with different patterns of deletion were identified. The first CDR was located on 4q22 q25, between loci D4S392 and D4S1625. In addition, 17 of 27 (63%) of the informative tumors showed LOH on this region with locus D4S406 and constituted the highest rate of LOH on chromosome 4. The second CDR was located at 4q27 q31, between loci D4S1625 and D4S1652. Conclusion There are at least two tumor suppressor loci on 4q.
