[Correlation of microsatellite alterations on chromosome 9 and oncogenesis,metastasis in NSCLC]
1Laboratory of Molecular Biology,Henan Provincial Chest Hospital,Zhengzhou,Henan 450003,P.R.China.
Background:
To investigate the relationship among microsatellite alterations on chromosome 9(9p) and the oncogenesis,metastasis of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).
Methods:
Two microsatellite markers,IFNA and D9S171,were analyzed in 32 cases of NSCLC by polymerase chain reaction-based silver-staining assay.
Results:
Of 32 cases of NSCLC,14(43.8%) had microsatellite alterations.The alteration frequency was 64.7% in NSCLC with lymph node metastasis,and 20% in those without lymph node metastasis.There was significant difference between the two groups.None of benign lung tissues showed microsatellite alterations.
Conclusions:
Microsatellite alteration on chromosome 9p in NSCLC appears to be a common and specific event,and may be a valuable molecular marker for determination of early diagnosis and metastasis of NSCLC.

Colon cancer is one of the best-documented examples of tumor progression. Early mutation in the APC gene in colon cells causes a small growth on the colon wall called a polyp. With time, this polyp grows into a benign, pre-cancerous tumor. Further...
