| 1 | Human papillomavirus 16 E6 is associated with the nuclear matrix of esophageal carcinoma cells显示文摘AIM: To explore the etiologic role of HPV infection in esophageal carcinoma, and the association of HPV-16 E6with the nuclear metrix of carcinoma cells.METHODS: Two esophageal carcinoma cell lines, EC/CUHK1 and EC/CUHK2, were tested for HPV-16 E6subgenetic fragment by polymerase chain reaction amplification of virus DNA associated nuclear matrix. RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry were also used to visualizethe expression of E6 subgene in the cells.RESULTS: The HPV-16 E6 subgenetic fragment wes found to be present in nuclear metrix-associeted DNA, E6oncoprotein localized in the nucleus where it is tightly associated with nuclear matrix after sequential extraction in EC/CUHK2 cells. It was not detected, however, in EC/CUHK1 cells.CONCLUSION: The interaction between HPV-16 E6 and nuclear matrix may contribute to the virus induced carcinogenesis in esophageal carcinoma. | S.B.Cheng E.C.Chew | 2001 | World Journal of Gastroenterology2001，7，6： | 7 |
