520 $a The molecular genetic basis for the development of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) is still unclear. Elucidation of the contribution of genetic changes evidenced by loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis and infection with the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) is fundamental to understanding the development of this important cancer.
520 $a In order to characterize the genetic alterations that occur early in the development of NPC, and the epidemiological features of this cancer, I analyzed microdissected nasopharyngeal tissues from 38 NPC patients (21 from Hong Kong, 8 from Northern China, and 9 from Canada), 52 non-NPC patients with normal-looking epithelia (10 from aborted fetuses and 23 from adults in Hong Kong, 10 from Northern China, and 9 from Canada), and 8 non-NPC patients with dysplastic tissues in Hong Kong. A panel of 5 polymorphic markers localized to chromosome 3p, and 3 markers localized to chromosome 9p were utilized to examine the tissues for chromosome 3p and 9p LOH. Epstein-Barr virus encoded RNA in-situ hybridization (EBER-ISH) was used to determine the presence of EBV in these specimens.
520 $a All of the NPCs from Hong Kong and Northern China showed evidence of chromosome 3p deletion. Caucasian NPC patients showed a somewhat lower frequency of 3p LOH (67%). None of the fetal NP tissue showed evidence of 3p LOH. Strikingly, 74% of Hong Kong normal NP epithelia showed 3p LOH while only 18.8% and 21.4% of NP epithelia from central/northern Chinese and Caucasians showed 3p LOH, respectively. The frequency of 3p LOH in dysplastic NP (75%) and normal NP was similar. The peritumoral NP epithelia showed a lower frequency of 3p LOH (60%) as compared to the dysplastic lesions and normal adult NP tissue.
520 $a These results demonstrate, for the first time, the presence of genetically abnormal clones in the epithelium of the nasopharynx. Moreover, our data suggest that genetic alterations occur prior to the occurrence of dysplastic changes. (Abstract shortened by UMI.)
