Abstract:
Objective To investigate the significance of the expression levels of humans telomerase reverse transcriptase(hTERT) gene in peripheral blood mononuclear cells with lung cancer patients. Methods From Mar.2002 to Feb.2005,the expression levels of hTERT were detected in 30 lung cancer patients and 15 normal humans by quantitative measurement with RT-PCR. Results The expression levels of hTERT mRNA in lung cancer patients (0.906?0.112) were significant as compared with those health controls(0.407?0.104). Conclusion It is effective to diagnose lung cancer by the quantitative measurement with RT-PCR for the expression levels of hTERT mRNA.
