To study the relationship between methylation state of CDKN2/p16 gene and lung cancers.
Genomic DNA was digested with methylation-sensitive enzymes and Southern blotting was used to analyses the methylation state of CDKN2/p16 gene in 89 cases of lung cancer.
Twenty-one out of 89 lung cancers(23.6%) shown methylation of CDKN2/p16 gene, and 17 of them occurred in 42 P16 negative cases with a rate of 40.5%(17/42).
Methylation of CDKN2/p16 gene 5' CpG island is probably an important mechanism of gene inactivation; it may take part in the onset and process of lung cancer.
研究CDKN2/p16基因甲基化状态与肺癌的关系。
用甲基化敏感酶消化基因组DNA,采用Southern印迹法分析89例肺癌中CDKN2/p16基因的甲基化状态。
89例肺癌中有21例(23.6%)显示CDKN2/p16基因甲基化,其中17例发生在42例P16阴性病例中,发生率为40.5%(17/42)。
CDKN2/p16基因5' CpG岛甲基化可能是基因失活的重要机制;它可能参与肺癌的发生和发展过程。
