摘要
Expression of the pie gene from 30 malignant skin tumors has been surveyed by immunohistochemical assay. Gene point mutations were detected by DNA direct sequencing and the mRNA level of gene expression was measured by RT-PCR. A silent point mutation of the pie gene was found in only one patient. However, loss of expression of the pie gene was noticed in 23 of 29 samples (79.3%). Correlation between loss of expression of the pie gene and metastasis is significant (p = 0.0036). These findings suggest that loss of expression of the pie gene may play a critical role in tumor progression of malignant skin tumors. (C) 1997 Academic Press
