ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To analyze the relationship between deletion of P16 gene exon 2 and lung cancer and to evaluate the possibility of detecting P16 gene exon 2 deletion in brush-off cell instead of resected lung cancer mass.METHODS:
P16 gene exon 2 deletion in bronchofibroscopic brush-off cells of lesion side and corresponding normal side was detected through PCR-electrophoresis-Image. Image value of P16 Vs beta-actin <0.6 was considered as P16 gene exon 2 deletion.RESULTS:
The rate of P16 gene exon 2 deletion in normal side was 0 (0/19), whereas in lesion side was 35.5%(11/31), there is a significant statistical difference (P<0.01). In SCLC (small -cell lung carcinoma) samples, the rate of P16 gene exon 2 deletion was 0(0/7). whereas in NSCLC (non-small cell lung carcinoma) samples, that was 50%(11/12)(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:
P16 gene exon 2 deletion might be related to the oncogenesis and development of lung carcinoma, especially NSCLC. Brush-off cell specimens may replace surgical specimens in Detecting P16 gene exon 2 deletion.
