The occurrence of LUSC is attributed to exposure to cigarette smoke, which induces the development of numerous genomic abnormalities. However, few studies have investigated the genomic variations that occur only in normal tissues that have been similarly exposed to tobacco smoke as tumor tissues. In this study, we sequenced the whole genomes of three normal lung tissue samples and their paired adjacent squamous cell carcinomas. We then called genomic variations specific to the normal lung tissues through filtering the genomic sequence of the normal lung tissues against that of the paired tumors, the reference human genome, the dbSNP138 common germline variants, and the variations derived from sequencing artifacts. To expand these observations, the whole exome sequences of 478 counterpart normal controls （CNCs） and paired LUSCs of The Cancer Genome Atlas （TCGA） dataset were analyzed. Sixteen genomic variations were called in the three normal lung tissues. These variations were confirmed by Sanger capillary sequencing. A mean of 0.5661 exonic variations/Mb and 7.7887 altered genes per sample were identified in the CNC genome sequences of TCGA. In these CNCs, C：G→T：A transitions, which are the genomic signatures of tobacco carcinogen N-methyl-N-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine, were the predominant nucleotide changes. Twenty five genes in CNCs had a variation rate that exceeded 2%, including ARSD （18.62%）, MUC4 （8.79%）, and RBMX（7.11%）. CNC variations in CTAGE5 and USP17L7were associated with the poor prognosis of patients with LUSC. Our results uncovered previously unreported genomic variations in CNCs, rather than LUSCs, that may be involved in the develooment of LUSC.展开更多
文摘轮状病毒(RV)细胞培养问题迄今尚未完全解决。为此,我们从筛选RV 敏感细胞和改变 RV 培养条件入手研究,发现恒河猴胚肾传代细胞 Frhk-4对不同血清型的人和动物 RV 标准株敏感,感染后有明显 CPE。将刀豆素 A(Con A)加入营养液中,在细胞生长过程中预处理细胞时,能显著增加 Wa 株的空斑数目和增殖滴度,加速 CPE 的发展,而用 Con A 预处理病毒、加入病毒接种液或加入凝胶覆盖物时,则明显抑制 Wa 株的空斑形成。此外,我们发现,Wa 株经细胞培养多次传代后,有变异株产生,所分离到的3个克隆株的基因图谱与原始 Wa 株有明显差异。对此,国内外均未见报道。
