Abstract:
OBJECTIVETo screen and determine the regions of copy number variation (CNV) associated with hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) using SNP array and fluorescence quantitative PCR.
METHODSThe CNV from HCC cell line TJ3ZX-01 was analyzed using GeneChip Human Mapping 500K SNP array. According to the data obtained by SNP array analysis, four candidate amplification regions were verified in 41 primary HCC samples by fluorescence quantitative PCR.
RESULTSFour regions of copy number amplification at 1q21.2, 1q22 approximately 23.1, 7p22.1 and 22q13.1 were detected by SNP array analysis. The four candidate amplicons occurred in 56.1% (23/41) of HCC samples at 1q21.2; 80.5% (33/41) at 1q22 approximately 23.1; 75.6% (31/41) at 7p22.1 and 31.7% (13/41) at 22q13.1 analyzed with sequence tagged site (STS) markers by quantitative PCR.
CONCLUSIONIn four candidate amplification regions selected by SNP array analysis and detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR, three amplification regions show increased copy number in more than 50.0% HCC tissues. This result indicates that these amplification regions are associated with pathogenesis of hepatocellular carcinoma.
