摘要
Objective. Comparative genomic hybridization has frequently detected amplification of chromosome 5p in cervical cancer, but candidate cancer genes within the region are rarely known. Therefore, we pursued to identify potential candidate gene related to cervical cancer development. Methods. A series of 128 cervical tumor samples were examined by semi-quantitative fluorescent differential PCR for copy number changes on three candidate genes (PRKAAl, CTNND2 and POLS) mapped to chromosome 5p and one gene (ERBIN) mapped to chromosome 5q12.3. The impact of gene copy number was later analyzed in relation to HPV infection, tumor stage or tumor radiosensitivity. Results. DNA copy numbers of PRKAAI, CTNND2 and ERBIN were significantly different from normal controls (P < 0.05). DNA copy number changes did not correlate with HPV infection, tumor stages or tumor radiosensitivity. Using RT-PCR, PRKAAI mRNA expression in seven tumor samples with known 5p amplification was amplified from 3- to 15-fold. Over-expression of PRKAAI was further confirmed by immunohistochemical staining on 125 paraffin-embedded cervical cancer tissues. The expression level in cervical tumor was significantly higher than that in normal epithelium (P < 0.001). Conclusions. PRKAAl gene codes for the catalytic alpha 1 subunit of the AMP-activated protein kinase which is an important cellular metabolic stress regulator. It might assist tumor cells growth under stress. Thus, PRKAA1 may be one of the potential candidate genes for cervical carcinogenesis. (c) 2006 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
