RESUMEN
The aim of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of human papillomavirus (HPV) genotyping by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR)-based genechip method and to determine the prognostic value of HPV genotype in bulky stage IB or IIA cervical carcinoma treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy (NAC) and radical surgery. A total of 149 patients had adequate tissue for the study. The SPF1/GP6+ primers were used to amplify a 184 bp fragment. The amplimers were submitted for direct sequencing and hybridization with a genechip using revert-blot detection of 39 types of HPV DNA in a single reaction. Two runs of PCR with respective hybridization were performed for each tumor. The complete concordance of HPV genotyping was 80.5% (120/149) of the paired genechip results. The kappa coefficient was 0.634 (P < 0.0001). HPV DNA sequences were detected in 100% of the specimens, among which 67.8% harbored single type and 32.2% contained multiple types. HPV-16 was detected in 98.7%, HPV-18 in 22.8%, HPV-31 in 0.7%, HPV-45 in 1.3%, HPV-52 in 2.0%, HPV-58 in 6.7%, HPV-59 in 4.7%, and HPV-67 in 0.7%. In multivariate analyses, the HPV genotype [HPV-18 or HPV-16 and HPV-18 only versus all others: relative risk (RR), 2.33; 95% CI, 1.17-4.64; P = 0.016] and pre-NAC tumor size (>5 versus =5 cm: RR, 2.25; 95% CI, 1.13-4.48; P = 0.021) were significantly related to overall survival. This PCR-based genechip method is sensitive and reproducible for HPV genotyping. The association of HPV-18 or HPV-16 and HPV-18 with poor outcome in cervical carcinoma treated with NAC plus radical surgery is confirmed.

Two eps8 isoforms, p97eps8 and p68eps8, were previously identified as substrates for receptor tyrosine kinases. Analysis of eps8 phosphotyrosine content in v-Src transformed cells (IV5) revealed that both isoforms were highly tyrosyl phosphorylated and their readiness to be phosphorylated by Src in vitro further indicated that they were putative Src substrates as well. Indeed, the enhancement of tyrosyl phosphorylation of p97eps8 detected in cells coexpressing both p97eps8 and active Src relative to that in cells expressing p97eps8 alone supported our hypothesis. The existence of common phosphotryptic peptides between in vitro 32P-labeled p97eps8 and p68eps8 indicated that these two proteins shared the same Src-mediated sites. Further in vitro binding assays demonstrated that p68eps8 was the major eps8 isoforms that could be precipitated by bacterial fusion protein containing Src SH3. Interestingly, both p68eps8 and p97eps8 were preferentially expressed in v-Src transformed cells and the presence of p68eps8 appeared to depend on Src. Since p97eps8 has been implicated in mitogenesis and tumorigenesis, its readiness to be phosphorylated and induced by v-Src might attribute to v-Src-mediated transformation.

A new cell line, designated IBL-SLO1A, was established from pupal ovaries of the tobacco cutworm Spodoptera litura. Cells were grown in the TNM-FH insect cell culture medium supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum. The subculture of cells was initiated with 1-3 x 10(5) cells/ml, a split ratio about 1:10. The growth curve of the cells fit the model of exponential growth (Y = e-0.6750 + 0.0317X R2 = 0. 98), the population doubling time during logarithmic growth at 28 degrees C was 21.9 hr. The number of chromosomes was about 140. Cytopathology characteristics of baculovirus infection were observed when the culture cells were infected with SINPV derived from alkali dissolution of occlusion bodies at 24 hr postinfection (pi). The cells lysed and released occlusion bodies into culture medium at 120 hr pi.
