It has been suggested that asbestos might have an important role in the development of p53 mutations in mesotheliomas. The objective of this study was to examine asbestos-associated mesotheliomas and non-asbestos-associated mesotheliomas to establish whether the frequency of p53 immunostaining and, by implication, p53 gene mutation is related to asbestos exposure. Immunopositivity for p53 was found in seven (44%) of the 16 mesotheliomas examined. The frequency was approximately the same in both the asbestos-associated mesotheliomas and the non-asbestos-associated mesotheliomas. It is concluded that the frequency of p53 immunostaining in mesotheliomas and, by implication, the frequency of p53 gene mutation is probably not related to asbestos exposure.
有人认为,石棉可能在间皮瘤中p53突变的发生过程中起重要作用。本研究的目的是检查石棉相关间皮瘤和非石棉相关间皮瘤,以确定p53免疫染色的频率以及p53基因突变频率是否与石棉暴露有关。在所检查的16例间皮瘤中,有7例(44%)发现p53免疫阳性。石棉相关间皮瘤和非石棉相关间皮瘤中的频率大致相同。得出的结论是,间皮瘤中p53免疫染色的频率以及p53基因突变频率可能与石棉暴露无关。
