摘要: Sixteen cases of ependymoma were studied for CDKN2A/p16 inactivation by immunohistochemistry using a p16 monoclonal antibody, homozygous deletion (HD) assay and 5′CpG promoter methylation (methylation-specific PCR). Three out 16 immuno-negative: two corresponded to grade II ependymomas one III. The latter ependymoma, characterized high Ki-67/MIB-1 LI, was the only whole series show CDKN2A HD. No found in immuno-negative without Alternative mechanisms, such as point mutations or alterations post-translational regulation, may be responsible inactivation. Since our just eight anaplastic showed negative immunostaining HD, p16/CDKN2A not play an important role malignant transformation ependymomas.
