Abstract:
ObjectiveTo study the chromosome genetic changes in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) with double exposure to hepatitis B virus/aflatoxin B1 (HBV/AFB1) in Guangxi.Method Differences in genomic alterations in 32 patients with HCC were analyzed using comparative genomic hybridization(CGH).Results(1) The majority of chromosome copy number in the 32 HCC samples had varying degrees of change.The amplification of chromosome regions were 1q,7q,8q,with the high frequency regions being 1q,8q.The deletion of chromosome regions were 1p,4q,8p,9p,13q,14q,16p,16q,17p,18q,19p,Y,with the high frequency regions being 1p,4q,8p,16q,17p,19p;(2) There were also some high copy number amplification or deletion of small regions,such as 2p25.1-p25.2,3q22.3-q23,7p14.1-p14.3,and 9p13.2-9p21; (3) Hierarchical clustering analysis showed that the rate of deletion of chromosome 13q decreased progressively in the following 4 groups:-HBsAg(+)/AFB1 (+),HBsAg(+)/AFB1 (-),HBsAg( - )/AFB1 ( + ),and HBsAg( - )/AFB1 (-) (x2=6.452,P＜0.05).4p was found mainly to be amplified in the HBsAg(+)/AFB1(-)group,but it was mainly deleted in the HBsAg(-)/AFB1(+),and HBsAg( - )/AFB1(-) groups.19q was found mainly to be amplified in the HBsAg(+)/AFB1(+) group,but it was mainly deleted in the HBsAg(-)/AFB1(+),and HBsAg(-)/AFB1(-) groups.ConclusionThe chromosome genetic changes of HCC in Guangxi showed multiplicity.The deletion of chromosome 19p,2p25.1-25.2,3q22.3-q23,7p14.1-p14.3 and amplification of chromosome 9p13.2-9p21 are probably unique genetic characteristics of HCC in this region.The combined effects of Hepatitis B virus and aflatoxin B1 may contribute to deletion of chromosome 13q of HCC in Guangxi.
