To investigate the association between the progressive stage of cervical dysplasia and DNA damage by comet assay.
A hospital-based, unmatched, case-control study was performed. DNA damage levels (none, low, medium and high) in the cervical epithelial cells of 31 women (10 with low grade squamous intraepithelial lesions [LSIL], 10 with high grade [HSIL] and 11 with no cervical lesion) were evaluated using the comet assay.
A significant increase in medium DNA damage was observed in women with HSIL (17 +/- 8.9) relative to that in the control women (9 +/- 6.1). A significant increase in high DNA damage was also observed in women with LSIL (23 +/- 15.4) or HSIL (32 +/- 13.1) relative to that in the control women (12 +/- 7.9).
These findings confirm that the grade of a cervical lesion correlates with the degree of genomic instability.
通过彗星试验研究宫颈发育异常进展阶段与DNA损伤之间的关联。
进行了一项基于医院的非匹配病例对照研究。使用彗星试验评估了31名女性(10名低级别鳞状上皮内病变[LSIL]、10名高级别[HSIL]和11名无宫颈病变)宫颈上皮细胞中的DNA损伤水平(无、低、中、高)。
相对于对照女性(9±6.1),HSIL女性(17±8.9)中观察到中度DNA损伤显著增加。相对于对照女性(12±7.9),LSIL女性(23±15.4)或HSIL女性(32±13.1)中也观察到高度DNA损伤显著增加。
这些发现证实宫颈病变的分级与基因组不稳定性程度相关。
