Methods: p21WAF1 /CIP1gene DNA of 36 osteosarcoma spec- imens was examined by using polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism (PCR- SSCP) method. The PCR products were sequenced directly. Results: In p21WAF1 /CIP1 gene exon3 of 36 cases of human osteosarcoma, the change of C→T in the p21WAF1 /CIP1gene CDNA sequence of position 609th occurred in 17 cases with the incidence being 44.4%. In 10 normal blood samples, DNA sequence analysis showed the change of C→T in the p21WAF1 /CIP1gene CDNA sequence of position 609th occurred in 8 cases with the incidence being 80%. Conclusion: The novel location of p21WAF1 /CIP1gene polymorphism of osteosarcoma, but not mutation was de?ned, and this location might provide the meaningful reference for the further research of p21WAF1/CIP1 gene.p2lWAF1/CIP1基因DNA序列分析及其与骨肉瘤表型的关系展开更多

Methods: The EGFR targeted non-viral vector GE7 gene delivery system was constructed. The malignant human glioma cell line U251MG was transfected in vitro with β-galactosidase gene ( reporter gene) and p21WAF-1/CIPI gee (therapeutic gene) using the GE7 system. By means of X-gal staining, MTS and FACS, the transfection efficiency of exogenous gene and apoptosis rate of tumor cells were examined. The expression of p21WAF-1/ CIPI gene in transfected U251MG cell was examined by immunohistochemis-try staining. Results: The highest transfer rate of exogenous gene was 70% . After transfection with p21WAF-1/CIPI gene, the expression of WAF-1 increased remarkably and steadily; the growth of U251MG cells were inhibited evidently. FACS examination showed G1 arrest. The average apoptosis rate was 25.2%. Conclusion: GE7 system has the ability to transfer exogenous gene to targeted cells efficiently, and expression of p21WAF-1/CIPI gene can induce apoptosis of glioma cell and inhibit its growth.展开更多
