To localize Mycobacterium tuberculosis DNA (TB-DNA) in lung cancer tissue and to investigate the possible relationship of this bacterial infection with the development of lung cancer.
A sensitive and specific indirect in situ nested PCR (ISNPCR) was used to identify and localize TB-DNA in 15 formalin fixed paraffin-embedded lung cancer tissue specimens, which had been demonstrated to be positive for TB-DNA by conventional PCR.
Positive granules of TB-DNA in brown color was found mainly in the cytoplasm of the alveolar epithelial cells, pulmonary macrophages, inflammatory cells and a few tumor cells within lung cancer tissues.
Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection may play a role in the pathogenesis of lung cancer.
在肺癌组织中定位结核分枝杆菌DNA(TB-DNA),并探讨这种细菌感染与肺癌发生之间可能存在的关系。
采用灵敏且特异的间接原位巢式聚合酶链反应(ISNPCR),对15例经福尔马林固定、石蜡包埋的肺癌组织标本中的TB-DNA进行鉴定和定位,这些标本经传统聚合酶链反应已证实TB-DNA呈阳性。
在肺癌组织中,棕色的TB-DNA阳性颗粒主要见于肺泡上皮细胞、肺巨噬细胞、炎性细胞及少数肿瘤细胞的胞质内。
结核分枝杆菌感染可能在肺癌发病机制中起作用。
