In order to find biomarkers to measure the effects of UV irradiation, we examined the accumulation of p53 protein and pyrimidine dimers in 18 solar keratosis specimens. Frozen or AMeX-fixed solar keratosis specimens were immunohistochemically stained by anti-p53 mouse monoclonal antibody, pAb1801 and polyclonal anti-(pyrimidine dimer) antibody. Nuclear accumulation of p53 protein was found in 5/18 (28%) solar keratosis lesions. The percentage of cases showing nuclear p53 protein varied according to the histological type; in the bowenoid type it was 4/7 (57%); in the atrophic type it was 1/7 (14%). Nuclear pyrimidine dimers were not stained in solar keratosis, although the skin of UV-irradiated nude mice was positive. Accumulation of p53 protein is a good marker for early precancerous change caused by UV exposure.
为了寻找能够测量紫外线辐射影响的生物标志物,我们检测了18个日光性角化病标本中p53蛋白和嘧啶二聚体的积累情况。冷冻或AmeX固定的日光性角化病标本用抗p53小鼠单克隆抗体pAb1801和多克隆抗(嘧啶二聚体)抗体进行免疫组织化学染色。在18个日光性角化病病变中有5个(28%)发现p53蛋白在细胞核中积累。显示细胞核p53蛋白的病例百分比因组织学类型而异;在鲍温样型中为4/7(57%);在萎缩型中为1/7(14%)。尽管紫外线照射的裸鼠皮肤呈阳性,但日光性角化病中细胞核嘧啶二聚体未被染色。p53蛋白的积累是紫外线暴露引起的早期癌前变化的良好标志物。
