This study aimed to determine the frequencies of Epstein-Barr virus, types 1 and 2 infection, and 30 bp del-latent membrane protein 1 viral polymorphism in gastric adenocarcinomas, as well as to investigate the association between Epstein-Barr virus infection and tumor location, type, and the patient's sex.
Samples were collected from 38 patients treated at a university hospital in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Epstein-Barr virus detection and genotyping were performed by polymerase chain reaction, followed by polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and staining by the silver nitrate method.
Overall, 68.4% of patients had Epstein-Barr virus-positive tumors. Of these, 65.4% presented infection by Epstein-Barr virus type 1, 23.1% by Epstein-Barr virus type 2, and 11.5% had coinfection with types 1 and 2. The 30 bp del-latent membrane protein 1 polymorphism was found in 42.3% of Epstein-Barr virus-positive tumors, 23.1% had the wild-type virus, and 23.1% had the wild-type and the polymorphism concomitantly. In 11.5% of Epstein-Barr virus-positive tumors, it was impossible to determine whether there was polymorphism or not. Tumor location in the antrum (22 of 38) and diffuse type (27 of 38) were predominant. There was no significant difference in Epstein-Barr virus infection or the 30 bp del-latent membrane protein 1 polymorphism between men and women.
Epstein-Barr virus infection was found in 68.4% of tumors investigated in this study. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first article showing the coinfection of Epstein-Barr virus types 1 and 2 in gastric carcinoma in Brazil.
本研究旨在确定胃腺癌中 Epstein-Barr 病毒 1 型和 2 型感染以及 30bp 缺失潜伏膜蛋白 1 病毒多态性的频率,并探讨 Epstein-Barr 病毒感染与肿瘤位置、类型以及患者性别之间的关系。
本研究收集了巴西里约热内卢一所大学医院治疗的 38 名患者的样本。通过聚合酶链反应(PCR)检测 Epstein-Barr 病毒并进行基因分型,随后通过聚丙烯酰胺凝胶电泳和硝酸银染色进行分析。
总体而言,68.4%的患者肿瘤呈 Epstein-Barr 病毒阳性。其中,65.4%为 Epstein-Barr 病毒 1 型感染,23.1%为 Epstein-Barr 病毒 2 型感染,11.5%为两种病毒的混合感染。在 Epstein-Barr 病毒阳性肿瘤中,30bp 缺失潜伏膜蛋白 1 多态性的发生率为 42.3%,野生型病毒为 23.1%,同时存在野生型和多态性的为 23.1%。在 11.5%的 Epstein-Barr 病毒阳性肿瘤中,无法确定是否存在多态性。肿瘤位于胃窦(38 例中的 22 例)和弥漫型(38 例中的 27 例)较为常见。男性和女性之间 Epstein-Barr 病毒感染或 30bp 缺失潜伏膜蛋白 1 多态性没有显著差异。
本研究发现 68.4%的肿瘤存在 Epstein-Barr 病毒感染。据我们所知,这是巴西首例报道胃腺癌中同时存在 Epstein-Barr 病毒 1 型和 2 型感染的文章。
