To investigate telomerase activity and human telomerase reverse transcriptase (hTERT) expression in normal human gastric mucosal epithelial cells (nhGMECs) and fibroblasts (nhGMFs).
nhGMECs and nhGMFs were isolated and cultured from specimens obtained during routine surgery for bleeding peptic ulcer. Telomerase activity in nhGMFs, nhGMECs, and the tumor cell lines BGC-823, SGC-7901 and MKN-28 cells was analyzed using the telomeric repeat amplification protocol assay. hTERT protein was determined in nhGMECs, nhGMFs, BGC-823, SGC-7901 and MKN-28 cells by indirect immunofluorescence.
A similar level of telomerase activity was observed in nhGMECs, nhGMFs and BGC-823, SGC-7901, MKN-28 cell lines. Positive hTERT immunostaining was detected in nhGMECs, nhGMFs, BGC-823, SGC-7901 and MKN-28 cell lines.
The use of telomerase or hTERT as diagnostic markers for gastric cancer may require further studies.
研究正常人胃黏膜上皮细胞(nhGMECs)和成纤维细胞(nhGMFs)中的端粒酶活性及人端粒酶逆转录酶(hTERT)表达。
从因消化性溃疡出血接受常规手术获取的标本中分离并培养nhGMECs和nhGMFs。采用端粒重复序列扩增法分析nhGMFs、nhGMECs以及肿瘤细胞系BGC - 823、SGC - 7901和MKN - 28细胞中的端粒酶活性。通过间接免疫荧光法测定nhGMECs、nhGMFs、BGC - 823、SGC - 7901和MKN - 28细胞中的hTERT蛋白。
在nhGMECs、nhGMFs以及BGC - 823、SGC - 7901、MKN - 28细胞系中观察到相似水平的端粒酶活性。在nhGMECs、nhGMFs、BGC - 823、SGC - 7901和MKN - 28细胞系中检测到hTERT免疫染色阳性。
将端粒酶或hTERT用作胃癌诊断标志物可能需要进一步研究。
