Therefore, various diagnostic adjuncts such as immunocytochemistry or deoxyribonucleic acid cytometry are employed in this diagnostic field. Recently, demonstration of telomerase activity has been proposed as a possible marker for malignancy. In this study a seminested reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) strategy for expression analysis of the catalytic subunit of human telomerase (hEST2) was used in 58 serous effusions. RT-PCR results correlated with cytologic diagnoses in 14 of 17 malignant effusions. In eight effusions cytologically suspicious for malignancy, PCR results were in accordance with the clinical follow-up. However, hEST2 RT-PCR was also positive in six of 15 cytologically benign effusions that consisted predominantly of inflammatory and mesothelial cells. Using the telomeric repeat amplification protocol, it could be demonstrated that cultured, proliferating benign mesothelial cells may present a weak telomerase activity, as is known in other benign cells including activated lymphocytes. In conclusion, the simple and rapid method of hEST2 RT-PCR serves to support the cytologic diagnosis of malignancy, but false-positive PCR results resulting from activated lymphocytes and proliferating mesothelial cells must be considered."],["dc.identifier.doi","10.1097/00019606-200103000-00010"],["dc.identifier.isi","000167166200010"],["dc.identifier.pmid","11277397"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/28526"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Lippincott Williams & Wilkins"],["dc.publisher.place","Philadelphia"],["dc.relation.eventlocation","JENA, GERMANY"],["dc.relation.issn","1052-9551"],["dc.title","Gene expression analysis of the catalytic subunit of human telomerase (hEST2) in the differential diagnosis of serous effusions"],["dc.type","conference_paper"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

Here we present the first report on the modulational effects of the steroids 17beta-estradiol (E2) and 17alpha-ethinylestradiol (EE2) on oncogene MDM2 in human hepatocytes. Materials and Methods:. Collagen-embedded cultures of hepatocytes stimulated with different E2/EE2 concentrations were analyzed by immunocytoehemistry, RT-PCR and sequencing for MDM2 protein/ mRNA expression, MDM2 mRNA splicing and MDM2 gene mutation. Results: The hepatocytes responded to stimulation with steroid E2/EE2 concentrations from 1-100 nmol/l with the overexpression of MDM2 protein while non-stimulated cells were negative. Stimulation with 1 nmol/l E2 and 10-100 nmol/l EE2 induced MDM2 splicing variants. Hepatocytes treated with 100 nmol/l E2 contained full-length MDM2 mRNA carrying a new type of MDM2 gene mutation. Unstimulated hepatocytes revealed neither mRNA splicing nor alteration of the MDM2 genes. Conclusion: The data show that steroid hormones are involved in the induction of MDM2 alterations in benign human hepatocytes. We speculate that some of the alterations may influence MDM2 function, thus possibly favouring genesis of liver changes."],["dc.identifier.isi","000177246500026"],["dc.identifier.pmid","12168835"],["dc.identifier.uri","https://resolver.sub.uni-goettingen.de/purl?gro-2/43763"],["dc.notes.status","zu prüfen"],["dc.notes.submitter","Najko"],["dc.publisher","Int Inst Anticancer Research"],["dc.relation.issn","0250-7005"],["dc.title","Detection of MDM2 alterations in cultured human hepatocytes treated with 17 beta-estradiol or 17 alpha-ethinylestradiol"],["dc.type","journal_article"],["dc.type.internalPublication","yes"],["dc.type.peerReviewed","yes"],["dc.type.status","published"],["dspace.entity.type","Publication"]]

In tumors of the salivary gland, however, the genetic status of MDM2 has not been evaluated so far. Methods and Results: Benign and malignant tumors of the salivary gland (6 pleomorphic adenomas, 3 Warthin's tumors, 1 adenocarcinoma, 1 basal cell adenocarcinoma, 1 mucoepidermoid carcinoma, 3 acinic cell carcinomas, 2 adenoid cystic carcinoma, 1 squamous cell carcinoma) were analyzed by fluorescence-based PCR techniques and immunochemistry for MDM2 gene amplification, MDM2 gene expression, MDM2 gene mutation, MDM2 RNA splicing and MDM2 accumulation. Data show that all samples contained nonamplified MDM2 genes with nonmutant zinc finger regions. However, in two benign and two malignant samples, novel MDM2 mRNA splicing variant types 1 and 2 were detected. Furthermore, three malignant tumors revealed significant nuclear MDM2 accumulation. Correlation between levels of MDM2 mRNA and MDM2 protein could not be detected in the specimens. Conclusion: The present study suggests that MDM2 gene mutation and gene amplification do not contribute to MDM2 accumulation detected in malignant tumors of the salivary gland. However, the role of novel MDM2 splicing variants in MDM2 expression and malignant transformation must be elucidated further. Copyright (C) 2001 S.

PCR and in situ hybridization techniques were employed. In cultivated UCNT cells, interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma) induced synthesis of GAGE-1/-2 mRNA. In archival tumour specimens (n=10) however; GAGE-1/-2 gene expression was detected in only 3/8 cases with coincident EBV infection and IFN-gamma expression. In conclusion, EBV infection appears to induce IFN-gamma gene expression in most tumors, but GAGE-1/-2 expression in only some tumours. The role of IFN-gamma and other factors in triggering GAGE-1/-2 gene activation must be elucidated further.
