摘要目的 探讨甲状腺肿瘤中3号染色体短臂(3p)杂合性缺失(LOH)状态及其临床意义.方法 收集74例甲状腺肿瘤标本,包括20例甲状腺腺瘤(FA)、24例滤泡性甲状腺癌(FTC)和30例乳头状甲状腺癌(Prc).通过PCR扩增和银染分析其3p上11个微卫星位点的杂合性缺失状态.结果 FFC的LOH频率达到71%(17/24),PTC中30%(9/30),FA中10%(2/20).FFC的3p LOH频率显著高于FA和PTC(P<0.01).FTC中存在两个最小共同缺失区,分别位于3p26-pter和3p14.2-3p22.PTC上存在一个最小共同缺失区,位于3p 25.2-26.1.结论 FTC的3p LOH频率显著高于FA和PTC.3p的3个最小缺失区上可能存在着与FTC和PTC发生发展相关的肿瘤抑制基因.

abstractsObjective To study the loss of heterozygosity(LOH)on chromosome 3p in thyroid tumors. Methods LOH at 11 microsatellite loci Wag analyzed in 74 cases of thyroid tumors(including 20 follicular adenomas, 24 follicular thyroid carcinomas and 30 papillary thyroid carcinomas)by polymerase chain reaction and silver stain. Results LOH on chromosome 3p Wag detected in 71% of follicular thyroid carcinoma(17/24), 30%of the papillary thyroid carcinoma(9/30) and 10%of the follicular adenoma (2/20)case. Two minimal common deleted regions(CDR)(3p26-pter and 3p14. 2-3p22)involving significant sites of LOH has identified in follicular thyroid carcinoma. There Was also one CDR(3p25. 2-26. 1)in papilhry thyroid careinoma. Conclusions LOH is more frequently identified in follicular thyroid careinoma than in papillary thyroid carcinoma and follicular adenoma. The 3 CDR on chromosome 3p may harbor tumor suppressor genes involved in the pathogenesis of follicular thyroid carcinoma and papillary thyroid carcinoma.
