Objective To investigate the regulation of gene variation and explore the tumor associated suppressor genes on chromosome 9 during the developing of cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Methods Microdissection, PCR, electrophoresis and radiograph were selected to detect the LOH in 46 cases cervical squamous cell carcinoma with high-grade squamous dysplasia and normal tissue. The changes of LOH at chromosome 9 total seven microsatellite markers and relationship between LOH rate and clinical parameters were analysed. Results Total frequency of LOH in CIN (Ⅱ,Ⅲ) was 16 % and in cervical squamous cell carcinoma was 25 %. In the former, LOH at marker D9S171(30 %), D9S162(23 %), D9S43(20 %), D9S303(17 %), D9S753(12 %), D9S242(11 %) were found, whereas D9S1748 LOH was not detected in high-grade dysplasia. In the latter, LOH at marker D9S171(41 %), D9S43(33 %), D9S162(31 %), D9S242(24 %), D9S303(17 %), D9S753(17 %), D9S1748 13 % were found. In addition, LOH was found in high-grade dysplasia in three cases but not in cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Conclusions The study in seven microsatellite markers showed that from normal squamous tissue to dysplasia to cervical squamous cell carcinoma were accompanied with accumulation of gene errors. The p15 gene inactivation had a high relationship with the occur of cervical squamous cell carcinoma. Tumor suppressor genes associated with cervical squamous cell carcinoma may exist near or at D9S43, D9S162, D9S242. Some cases showed that high-grade dysplasia and cervical squamous cell carcinoma may came from different independent clone which provide some clue for multiple foci carcinoma at genetic level.

Objective:To explore the expression of circular RNA circ-MYBL2 in prostate cancer tissue and the molecular mechanism of its influence on the occurrence and metastasis of prostate cancer.Methods:From February 2017 to April 2021, 45 cases of prostate cancer tissues and paracancerous tissues from patients with prostate cancer in the Department of Urology, Jingmen No.2 People′s Hospital were selected. quantitative real-time fluorescence polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR) was used to detect the difference in expression of circ-MYBL2 in prostate cancer tissues and adjacent tissues, and the difference in expression of circ-MYBL2 in prostate cancer cell lines and immortalized prostate duct epithelial cells. Cell lines with low circ-MYBL2 expression were respectively transfected with circ-MYBL2 plasmid (circ-MYBL2 group) or negative control plasmid (control group). qRT-PCR was used to detect the transfection efficiency of circ-MYBL2 plasmid. CCK-8 method and cell scratch test were used to detect the effect of circ-MYBL2 on cell proliferation and migration. The starBase v2.0 software was used to predict the miRNA bound by circ-MYBL2 and the target gene of miRNA. The dual luciferase reporter gene experiment was used to verify the regulatory relationship between circ-MYBL2 and miRNA. qRT-PCR was used to detect the influence of circ-MYBL2 on miRNA expression and the influence of miRNA on target gene mRNA expression. Western blotting was used to detect the expression of target gene protein and Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway proteins. The measurement data were expressed as mean±standard deviation ( Mean± SD), the comparison between the means of multiple samples used one-way analysis of variance, and the comparison between the means of two samples used the t-test. Results:The expression of circ-MYBL2 of DU-145 cells in prostate cancer tissue was significantly lower than that in adjacent tissues ( P<0.01). The expression of circ-MYBL2 in prostate cancer cell lines was significantly lower than that of prostate ductal epithelial cells ( P<0.01), and the expression of DU-145 cells was the lowest ( P<0.01). Compared with the control group, the expression of circ-MYBL2 of DU-145 cells in the circ-MYBL2 group increased significantly ( P<0.01), and circ-MYBL2 reduced the proliferation activity ( P<0.05) and migration ability ( P<0.01) of DU-145 cells. circ-MYBL2 acted as a sponge to adsorb miR-324-3p, and miR-324-3p complementarily bound to the suppressor of SUFU gene. circ-MYBL2 inhibited the expression of miR-324-3p ( P<0.01), SUFU gene expression was increased ( P<0.01), and Wnt/β-catenin signal pathway transduction was inhibited. Conclusion:circ-MYBL2 promotes the expression of SUFU gene by adsorbing miR-324-3p, inhibits the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway, thereby reducing the proliferation activity and migration ability of prostate cancer cells.
