Purpose: To study the relationship between chromosome abnormalities and the pathogenesis, development and prognosis of endometrial carcinoma of uterus. Methods: FISH was used to detect endometrial carcinoma, endometrial hyperplasia and normal endometrium , 10 cases in each group, respectively. Results: All of the 10 carcinoma cases had chromosome 8 mutation, including trisomy, monosomy, tetraploid and in 10 cases of endometrial hyperplasia with trisomy of chromosome 8 were found. But there were no mutations of chromosome 8 in the normal group. There was significant difference in the three groups. Conclusions: Abnormalities of chromosome 8 are significantly associated with the process of pathogenesis, development of endometrial carcinoma. The abnormalities may occur in the early stage of the carcinoma, and may have the significant association with clinical stage and pathological differentiation among the patients.

Tumor 2008;28(5):382-385
Objective: To construct an E1 A-deleted 24-bp triple regulated replicative adenovirus vector SG600/interleukin24 (IL24), which was driven by both hTERT promoter and HRE promoter. The level of IL24 in liver cancer cells was determined and the replication capacity of SG600/ IL24 and its killing effects on liver cancer cells were observed. Methods: SG600-IL24 vector was constructed using DNA cloning and recombination techniques. The IL24 gene expression in liver cancer cell lines SMMC-7721 and BEL-7404 and normal cell line BJ was detected by ELISA assay. The replications of SG600/IL-24 in different cell lines were determined by evaluating TCID50 (50% tissue culture infectious dose) at 49 and 96 h. In vitro cell-killing effects of SG600/IL24 on the three liver cancer cell lines were analyzed by MTT assay and CPE (cytopathic effect) staining method at different MOI values. Results: IL24 was over-expressed in both SMMC-7721 and BEL-7404 cells but was weakly expressed in BJ cells. At 48 and 96 h post infection the replication of SG600/IL-24 were 794 and 7940 folds in SMMC-7721 cells; 622 and 7 810 folds in BEL-7404 cells; 20 and 200 folds in BJ cells. MTT assay showed that the MOI values of SG600/IL24 for killing 50% and 90% cells were 0.3 and 5 for SMMC-7721 cells; 3 and 20 for BEL-7404 cells; 50 and 150 for BJ cells. CPE staining demonstrated that SG600/IL24 had significant killing effects on both liver cancer cells SMMC-7721 and BEL-7404 but had no significant influence on BJ cells. The cell-killing capability of SG600/IL24 was superior than that of replicative adenovirus ZD55/IL24 and non replicative adenovirus Ad-IL24. Conclusion: After SMMC-7721 and BEL-7404 liver cancer cells are infected with SG600/1124 at high efficiency, the virus replication is active and the expression of IL24 increases greatly. SG600/IL24 has specific cell-killing effects on the two liver cancer cell lines but has no significant influence on normal cells. This study provides a basis for further investigating the effect of SG600/IL24 on liver cancer in vivo.
