To study the status of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of chromosome 1p/19q and p53 protein expression in oligodendroglioma, as compared to astrocytoma.
One hundred and ninety-one cases of glioma of different histologic types and grades, including 116 cases of low-grade of oligodendroglioma (86 paraffin-embedded and 30 fresh tissues), 45 cases of anaplastic oligodendroglioma (all paraffin-embedded tissues) and 30 cases of astrocytoma of various grades (all paraffin-embedded tissues), were enrolled into the study. The LOH of chromosome 1p/19q was investigated by polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based microsatellite analysis. The p53 protein expression was demonstrated by immunohistochemical staining.
The rates of 1p loss, 19q loss and 1p/19q loss were 69.8%, 64%, and 57.0% respectively in the 86 paraffin-embedded low-grade oligodendroglioma samples, as compared to 71.1%, 60.0% and 55.6% respectively in the 45 paraffin-embedded anaplastic oligodendroglioma samples. There was no difference of LOH of 1p/19q between low-grade oligodendroglioma and anaplastic oligodendroglioma (P>0.05). In the 30 cases of low-grade oligodendroglioma with fresh tissues available, the rates of 1p loss, 19q loss and 1p/19q loss were 70.0%, 63.3% and 60.0% respectively. The LOH of 1p/19q between paraffin-embedded and fresh samples was not statistically significant (P>0.05). In the 30 cases of astrocytoma, the rates of 1p loss, 19q loss and 1p/19q loss were 23.3%, 33.3% and 20.0% respectively, which were significantly less than those in oligodendroglioma (P<0.05). The expression of p53 protein was significantly lower in low-grade oligodendroglioma (8.1%) than in anaplastic oligodendroglioma (31.1%, P=0.007). The expression of p53 protein in oligodendroglioma was also lower than in astrocytoma (P=0.001). Furthermore, p53 protein expression negatively correlated with 1p/19q loss in anaplastic oligodendroglioma (P<0.05).
Both paraffin-embedded and fresh tissues are suitable for analysis of LOH of chromosome 1p/19q. Oligodendroglioma demonstrates a higher frequency of LOH of chromosome 1p/19q and lower expression of p53 protein than astrocytoma. The LOH of chromosome 1p/19q negatively correlates with the expression of p53 protein. These parameters have both diagnostic and prognostic values.
研究少突胶质细胞瘤中1p/19q杂合性缺失(LOH)及p53蛋白表达情况,并与星形细胞瘤作比较。
纳入191例不同组织学类型和级别的胶质瘤病例,包括116例低级别少突胶质细胞瘤(86例石蜡包埋组织和30例新鲜组织)、45例间变性少突胶质细胞瘤(均为石蜡包埋组织)和30例不同级别的星形细胞瘤(均为石蜡包埋组织)。采用基于聚合酶链反应(PCR)的微卫星分析检测1p/19q染色体的LOH。通过免疫组织化学染色检测p53蛋白表达。
86例石蜡包埋的低级别少突胶质细胞瘤样本中,1p缺失率、19q缺失率和1p/19q缺失率分别为69.8%、64%和57.0%;45例石蜡包埋的间变性少突胶质细胞瘤样本中,上述缺失率分别为71.1%、60.0%和55.6%。低级别少突胶质细胞瘤和间变性少突胶质细胞瘤之间1p/19q的LOH无差异(P>0.05)。在30例有新鲜组织的低级别少突胶质细胞瘤中,1p缺失率、19q缺失率和1p/19q缺失率分别为70.0%、63.3%和60.0%。石蜡包埋样本和新鲜样本之间1p/19q的LOH无统计学差异(P>0.05)。在30例星形细胞瘤中,1p缺失率、19q缺失率和1p/19q缺失率分别为23.3%、33.3%和20.0%,显著低于少突胶质细胞瘤(P<0.05)。低级别少突胶质细胞瘤中p53蛋白表达(8.1%)显著低于间变性少突胶质细胞瘤(31.1%,P=0.007)。少突胶质细胞瘤中p53蛋白表达也低于星形细胞瘤(P=0.001)。此外,间变性少突胶质细胞瘤中p53蛋白表达与1p/19q缺失呈负相关(P<0.05)。
石蜡包埋组织和新鲜组织均适用于分析1p/19q染色体的LOH。与星形细胞瘤相比,少突胶质细胞瘤显示出更高频率的1p/19q染色体LOH和更低的p53蛋白表达。1p/19q染色体的LOH与p53蛋白表达呈负相关。这些参数具有诊断和预后价值。
