We investigated gene-specific damage in adenocarcinoma cells, obtained from pleural effusions of 9 primary lung cancer patients, induced by incubation with cisplatin for 3 h in vitro. The 2.7 kb fragment of the hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT) gene was amplified by the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) to quantify the DNA damage. A 7-fold difference in the extent of gene-specific damage among the patients was observed. Mononuclear cells (MNC) were obtained from freshly isolated blood from the same patients before they received chemotherapy. These cells were also incubated with cisplatin in vitro, and PCR amplification of the HPRT gene was carried out. A 4-fold variation of DNA damage among the patients was observed. Moreover, there was a linear correlation between the extents of the DNA damage in the tumor cells and MNCs (R2 = 0.676, P = 0.0016). These results suggest that the PCR-stop assay could be used to detect interindividual variations in the extent of gene-specific damage in both tumor cells and MNC from the same patients induced by cisplatin treatment. In conclusion, MNC could be used to analyze cisplatin-induced gene-specific damage in cancer patients whose tumor cells are inaccessible.
我们研究了来自9例原发性肺癌患者胸腔积液的腺癌细胞在体外与顺铂孵育3小时后基因特异性损伤情况。通过聚合酶链反应(PCR)扩增次黄嘌呤磷酸核糖转移酶(HPRT)基因的2.7 kb片段,以定量DNA损伤。观察到患者之间基因特异性损伤程度存在7倍差异。单核细胞(MNC)取自同一患者化疗前新鲜分离的血液。这些细胞也在体外与顺铂孵育,并对HPRT基因进行PCR扩增。观察到患者之间DNA损伤存在4倍差异。此外,肿瘤细胞和MNC中的DNA损伤程度之间存在线性相关性(R2 = 0.676,P = 0.0016)。这些结果表明,PCR终止试验可用于检测同一患者的肿瘤细胞和MNC中顺铂治疗诱导的基因特异性损伤程度的个体间差异。总之,对于肿瘤细胞难以获取的癌症患者,MNC可用于分析顺铂诱导的基因特异性损伤。
