Comparison of Genomic Copy Number Variations Among Breast Cancer Subtypes / 肿瘤防治研究

Objective To compare genomic copy number variations (CNVs) among different subtypes of breast cancer and analyze specific CNVs in each subtype. Methods AIMS software was used for genotype breast cancer (BasL, Her2, LumA and LumB), and GISTIC2.0 software was used to analyze genome-wide CNVs in tumor tissues from TCGA. We collected and analyzed the information and samples of 324 cases of invasive breast cancer admitted to Jiangmen Central Hospital(JMCH). Fluorescence quantitative PCR was used to detect the CNV of ERBB2, TFDP1, MIR148B, CCND1, MDM2 and MIR139 genes in the tumor tissues, to verify TCGA analysis. Results 13q34 was specifically amplified and 12q13.13 was specifically deleted in BasL-type breast cancer. The 17q12 was specifically amplified in Her2 type. The 12q15 was specifically amplified and 11q13.4 was specifically deleted in LumB type, but LumA type had no specific amplification or deletion of chromosome region. The proportion of TFDP1 amplification or MIR148B deletion in BasL type were 57.8% (TCGA) and 71.4% (JMCH), which were significantly higher than other subtypes (P < 0.001). The proportion of ERBB2 amplification of Her2 type were 55.2% (TCGA) and 86.7% (JMCH), which were significantly higher than other subtypes (P < 0.001). The proportion of LumB type with CCND1 or MDM2 amplification or MIR139 deletion were 47.6% (TCGA) and 61.8% (JMCH), which were significantly higher than other subtypes (P < 0.05). Conclusion At the CNV level of breast cancer, Her2 type is characterized by the amplification of ERBB2, BasL type is characterized by the amplification of TFDP1 or the deletion of MIR148B, LumB type is characterized by the amplification of CCND1 or MDM2 or the deletion of MIR139, but LumA type lacks specific CNV characteristics.

Analysis of human papillomavirus infection status and genotype distribution in women in Huzhou, China / 中华实验和临床病毒学杂志

Objective@#To observe the infection status and the distribution of the gene subtypes of human papillomavirus (HPV) in Huzhou.@*Methods@#Cervical exfoliated cells were collected from the women who attended the physical examination and the cervical HPV examination from June 2017 to December 2017 in Huzhou Maternal and Child Health-Care hospital. A total of 2 830 women were tested for 21 HPV genotypes (including HPV-16, 18, 31, 59, 66, 53, 33, 58, 45, 56, 52, 35, 68, 51, 39, 82, 26, 73, 6, 11, 81), using real-time polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), investigated the infection status and subtype distribution.@*Results@#Among the 2 830 women, 269 were positive for HPV, the total infection rate was 9.51% (269/2 830). The infection rate of single gene and double gene was 86.99% (234/269) and 11.90% (32/269), respectively. The infection rate of high-risk subtypes was 9.11% among the detected women (258/2 830), accounting for 83.77% of HPV gene detections (258/308). The HPV-58, 16, 52 were the most commonly found gene subtypes among the high-risk HPV. The rate of HPV infection and high-risk subtypes of HPV infection in women was the highest in the 56-60 year old group, and the lowest in the 31-35 year old group. In different age groups, the difference in high-risk HPV infection rate was statistically significant, the total infection rate had no statistical significance.@*Conclusions@#In Huzhou area, the HPV infection rate of women found through normal physical examination was 9.51%, the high risk type was 58, 16 and 52, and the 56-60 year old group was the high incidence group. This study provides the HPV infection status and HPV gene subtype distribution characteristics in women in Huzhou, which has important guiding value for the vaccine development and application, and for prevention of HPV infection.

HIV gene subtypes of newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Dehong Dai and Jingpo autonomous prefecture of Yunnan province, 2016 / 中华流行病学杂志

Objective: To explore distribution of HIV gene subtypes among newly reported HIV/AIDS cases from China and Myanmar in Dehong Dai and Jingpo prefecture of Yunnan province in 2016. Methods: We conducted DNA extractions from newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in 2016. The gag, env and pol genes were amplified by using reverse transcription-PCR (RT-PCR) and sequenced to identify HIV subtypes. Results: A total of 1 112 newly diagnosed HIV cases were reported in Dehong in 2016, and the HIV subtypes were identified for 860 cases. Subtype C was predominant (33.6%), followed by unique recombinant forms (URFs) (28.4%), CRF01_AE (18.6%) and so on. URFs include four recombination, among which the recombination of CRF01_AE and C subtype were predominant. The HIV subtype distribution was associated with nationality and transmission route in HIV/AIDS cases from Myanmar. Conclusions: The gene subtypes of C, URFs and CRF01_AE were mainly distributed; distribution of URFs remained complex and diverse among newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in Dehong in 2016.

HIV-1 gene subtypes among newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in two border areas of Yunnan province / 中华流行病学杂志

Objective: To explore the features of distribution on HIV-1 gene subtypes among newly reported HIV/AIDS cases in the border areas of Yunnan province. Methods: A total of 233 newly reported HIV/AIDS cases aged 18 or more were consecutively included in the border counties of Dehong Dai and Jingpo autonomous prefecture (Dehong prefecture), Honghe Hani and Yi autonomous prefecture (Honghe prefecture) of Yunnan province from November 2015 to October 2016. HIV-1 RNA was extracted with pol and env genes amplified. HIV-1 gene subtypes were determined through phylogenetic analysis. Results: A total of 146 out of 233 specimens were genotyped successfully. HIV-1 was found to have had 8 gene subtypes in Dehong prefecture, with the unique recombinant forms (URFs) as the predominant (52.8%, 57/108) type, including 56.8% (21/37) of the cases with Chinese ethnicity and another 50.7% (36/71) were Myanmar citizens. Four HIV-1 gene subtypes were detected in Honghe prefecture, with CRF01_AE as predominant (71.1%, 27/38), including 81.0% (17/21) Vietnamese and 58.8% (10/17) Chinese. Differences on the distribution of HIV-1 gene subtypes were seen statistically significant between Dehong prefecture and Honghe prefecture (χ(2)=61.072, P<0.001). Conclusions: The distribution of HIV-1 gene subtypes showed big difference in the two border areas of Yunnan province, suggesting that both Chinese or non- Chinese citizens living in the area should be taken good care of, in terms of HIV/AIDS prevention and control.
