PREVALENCE AND PREDICTIVE FACTORS OF LARGE CELL DYSPLASIA (LCD) IN CHRONIC LIVER DISEASES. F~.&.rhotcarena. C. Guettier*. N. Ganne-Carrie. C. Christidis. JC. c et. M. Beaue a d, Services d’Hkpatolig?le ‘et d’Anatomopathologie*, HBpital Jean Verdier, 93143 Bondy-France. Liver LCD has a high independent predictive value for the occurrence of hepatocellular carcinoma. However, the prevalence of LCD in chronic liver diseases and the predictive factors of LCD occureence are poorly known. To assess these points, liver biopsies of 468 patients (286 with cirrhosis) were studied by an experienced liver pathologist. For each patient, 21 clinicobiological parameters and 8 histological parameters were recorded. According to the etiology of liver disease, 4 groups of patients with cirrhosis (HBV n=34, HCV n=117, alcohol n=55, PBC or hemochromatosis or auto-immune hepatitis n=80) and 3 groups of patients with non cirrhotic liver disease (HBV n=35, HCV n=116, alcohol n=31) were studied. The prevalence of LCD was higher in case of cirrhosis (20% vs 10.5%, p=O.O16) and was related to the etiology of chronic liver disease: HBV 38% and 26%, HCV 17% and 6%, alcohol 18% and 10% in patients with or without cirrhosis; the prevalence was only 5% in patients with cirrhosis from other cause. The level of fibrosis was predictive of the presence of LCD in every aetiological groups. Age had an independent predictive value in patients with alcoholic liver disease. The activity of liver disease had a highly predictive value in patients with HCV infection (p

SUPPRESSION OF P21wARINEIBIIS P53 MEDIATED APOPTOSIS IN BEPATocELLuLAR CARCINOMA CELL LINE FYamz.WLWamz Department of Pathology, Institute for Cancer Research, Fourth Military Medical University, Xian, 710032, P.R.China P21wAF1/cIp’is a downstream effector of the ~53 gene and a universal &in-dependent kinase (CDK) inhibitor. Postulated roles for in apoptosis remains controversial. Our previous studies P21wAF1/cIp’ showed stable overexpression wild type(wt>p53 by gene transfection in a ~53 mutant human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line (HCC-9204) could induce apoptosis accompanying p21wAF”c’p’protein expression. P21wAF’/cIplprotein, however, is negative in HCC-9204 cells. To determine the function of p21 wAF1’clp’in the ~53 dependent apoptosis, we used two eukaryotic expressions: LXSN containing wt-~53, PCEW containing antisense p21 wAF1/cIp’and , co-transfected into HCC-9204 cells. After selection with G418 and hygromycin, a positive clone was obtained and confirmed by Southern blotThe majority of these cells grow slower and did not exhibit apoptosis phenotype. The Western blot showed this particular cell line highly express wt-~53 protein but not express p2 1wAF1lclplprotein. The expression of antisense p21 wAF’lcIp’ led to inhibit wt-pS3 mediated apoptosis showing at two aspect: the v&p53 mediated spontaneous apoptosis disappeared and the sensitivity of cotransfection cells to adriamycin induced apoptosis decreased greatly as compared with cells subjected to only wt-~53 transfection. These finding suggested p21 wAF’/cIp’might play an important role in ~53 mediated
