P53 gene (exon7~8) mutatins and p53 proteins and HPV 6,11,16,18-DNA were examined in 49 cervical carcinoma by immunohistochemistry, polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and single strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP) in order to investigate their role and mutual relation and clinical significance in the onco genesis of cervical carcinoma. The results showed that first, p53 proteins posit ive rate was 48.98%, and not outstandingly related to the differentiation and the invasive degree of cervical carcinoma(P>0.05); the defects of P53 gene (exon7~8) were not found but P53 (exon7~8) mutations were detected in 7 of 49(14.29%) cervical carcinoma; then, HPV16-DNA positive rate was much higher than HPV6,11,18-DNA positive rate respectively(P<0.001),and the different HPV-DNA was simultaneously tested in one cerv ical carcinoma; last, not all cases of P53 mutations had p53 proteins posi tive, but the cases of P53 mutations and p53 proteins negative certainly had HPV infections, and HPV positive cases were much more than its negative one in the cases of p53 proteins positive(P<0.001). These results proved that the oncogenesis of cervical carcinoma is mainly associated with HPV16 infections, and second related to P53 (exon7~8) mutations. p53 proteins positive results from P53 mutations or/and HPV infections in cervical carc inoma.
