Detection of ADAR1 mRNA expression in larynx carcinoma tissues / 临床耳鼻咽喉头颈外科杂志

ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE@#To investigate the expressions of RNA-dependent adenosine deaminase 1(ADAR1) mRNA in larynx carcinoma tissues, and to discuss its value in the development of larynx carcinoma.@*METHOD@#The expression of ADAR1 mRNA in 51 larynx carcinoma and peri-carcinoma tissues were detected by semi-quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).@*RESULT@#ADAR1 mRNA was expressed broadly; the relative intensities of its expression in larynx carcinoma, larynx peri-carcinoma samples and larynx non-carcinoma tissue samples were respectively 2.963 +/- 0.912, 0.791 +/- 0.197 and 0.910 +/- 0.311. There were remarkable difference between larynx carcinoma and larynx peri-carcinoma, larynx carcinoma and non-carcinoma tissues.@*CONCLUSION@#ADAR1 mRNA is expressed broadly in larynx carcinoma and may be play an important role in the development of larynx carcinoma.
