DNA was extracted from paraffin-embedded tissue. Exons 5, 7 and 8 were amplified and studied by PCR-SSCP and sequencing analysis. Ten cases of asbestos associated cancer tissue were studied, of which five cases had adenocarcinoma, and the other five had mesothelioma, squamous carcinoma, small cell lung cancerl adenosquamous carcinoma and malignant lymphoma respectively. Employing monoclonal antibody PAb1801, five cases were found to be mutant p53 protein mpitive. Seven cases were found to have mutations by PCRSSCP. A total of 7 cases (8 mutations) were found to be positive and 4 cases were found to be opitive by both of these analyses. Of the 8 mutations found by SSCP analysis, 4(50%, 4/8)were clustered in exon 8. A high mutation frequency was noticed in adenocarcinoma (80%,4/5). ffequencing analysis on two specimens revealed two hotspot mutations. In codon 234,TAC for tyrooin was mutated to AAC fOr aspar8gine by a T to A transversion of the first letter. In codon 273, CGT for arginine was mutated to AGT for serine by a C to A transversion of the first letter. ln conclusion, the mutation of p53 gene is common in asbestos associated cancers. However, the mutational spectrum of asbestos associated cancers might be different from that of non-asbestos associated cancers.展开更多

Three cases of P53 gene point mutation was found in 29 cases of NHL. Mutation developed in exon 5 in 2 cases, and in exon 6 in 1 case. They were all diffuse lymphoma. In mutation cases, B cell lymphoma accounted for 2 cases and the other one was T cell lymphoma. There was no P53 gene mutation in low grade follicular lymphoma. Seven strains out of 9 kinds of lymphoma cell lines had P53 gene point mutation. One strain had the mutation in exon 5; 5 strains in exon 6 and 1 strain in exons 5, 6, 7. There was a high mutation rate in lymphoma cell lines and low mutation rate in NHL patients. P53 gene plays an important role in lymphoma cell line establishment, cell regeneration and disease evolution.展开更多

Loss-of-heterozygosity (LOH) is observed with high frequency on chromosomal region 17p13 (36/55, 65%), 9p21-p23 (28/55, 51%), 16q21-q23 (27/55, 49%) in tumors. Meanwhile, microsatellite instability is rarely found in these microsatellite loci. Direct sequencing was performed to detect the tentative mutation of tumor suppressor genes in these regions: p53, MTS1/p16, and CDH1/E-cadherin. Within exon 5-9 of p53 gene, 14 out of 55 HCC specimens (24%) have somatic mutations, and nucleotide deletion of this gene is reported in HCC for the first time. Mutation in MTS1/pl6 is found only in one tumor case. We do not find mutations in CDH1/E-cadherin. Furthermore, a statistically significant correlation is present between p53 gene mutation and loss of chromosome region 16q21q23 and 9p21-p23, which indicates that synergism between p53 inactivation and deletion of 16q21-q23 and 9p21-p23 may play a role in the pathogenesis of HCC.

Noexon8 mutation was found in metaplasia and dysplasia, but 4 cases were found to have exon8 mutation in cancer group. It is suggested that exon8 mutation occurs at the late stage of gastric cancer, but exon 5, 6, 7 mutation occur in the course ofprecancerous lesion to cancer. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of exon4, intron6,APC was 47,37 % (9/19), 8. 73% (2/23), 16. 67 % (3/18) respectively. LOH of exon4 had something to do with poor differentiation, lymph node metastasis,depth of invasion- LOH of exon4 may be one of prognostic marker of gastric cancer. We are led to conclude that p53 gene mutation is an early event and perhaps work together with ras oncogene in gastric carcinogenesis展开更多

The association of P53 mutation and IFG scores with clinicopa-thological parameters was evaluated. P53 mutation existed in exon 5-8 in 15 out of the 30 OSCCs (50%). The incidence of P53 mutation was not associated with age, gender, N value and TNM stage. However, there was a significant correlation between P53 mutation and T value (P=0.046). There were no statistically significant correlations among the clinicopathological parameters and IFG. Interestingly, The IFG score in OSCCs with P53 mutation was significantly higher than that in OSCCs without P53 mutation (P<0.001). These results suggest that the high incidence of P53 mutation is a major mechanism of OSCC carcinogenesis. The presence of P53 mutation indicates the most anaplastic fields in the invasive areas of the tumors, which may predict poor prognosis for the patients.展开更多

The purpose of the present study was to investigate if mutations in the p53 gene thought to be a promotor of apoptosis are involved in intrinsic apoptotic abnormalities in skeletal muscle of patients (pts) with CHF. Percutaneous needle biopsy from the m. vastus lateralis were obtained from 19 pts with CHF (LV EF 25%±10%). Single strand confirmation polymorphism analysis of polymerase chain reation products (PCR SSCP analysis) was used for detection of mutations in exon 5 8 of the p53 gene in skeletal Heart Center, University Leipzig, Germany (Yu JT, Adams V, Fiehn E, Schuler G and Hambrecht R) Institut of Pathology, University Freiburg, Germany (Ye J and Riede U)muscle cells. Four of 19 muscle specimens (21%) showed mobility shifts. To characterize the nuleotide sequence alterations specimens were examined further by direct sequence analysis of PCR product. Two of four specimens showing a band shift in the SSCP analysis exhibited a mutated p53 sequence. Sequence analysis revealed that these alteratons were point mutation exon 8 (14482, G→A) and deletion in exon 5 (13143 13157). A high frequency of p53 mutations was detected in skeletal muscle cells of patients with chronic heart failure. These findings suggest a role for apoptosis in the progression of intrinsic skeletal muscle abnormalities and consequently of exercise intolerance in chronic heart failure.展开更多

Skin is the second most common site of involvement after the nasal cavity/nasalpharynx. The aim of this study was to investigate the clinicopathologic features, immunophenotype, T cell receptor (TCR) gene rearrangement, the association with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) infection and p53 gene mutations of the lymphoma. Methods The clinicopathologic analysis, immunohistochemistry, in situ hybridization for EBERI/2, TCR gene rearrangement by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), mutations of p53 gene analyzed by PCR and sequence analysis were employed in this study. Results In the 19 cases, the tumor primarily involved the dermis and subcutaneous layer. Immunohistochemical staining showed that most of the cases expressed CD45RO, CD56, CD3E, TIA-1 and GrB. Three cases were positive for CD3 and two cases were positive for CD30. Monoclonal TCRy gene rearrangement was found in 7 of 18 cases. The positive rate of EBERI/2 was 100%. No p53 gene mutation was detected on the exon 4-9 in the 18 cases. Fifteen cases showed Pro (proline)/Arg (arginine) single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) on the exon 4 at codon 72. The expression of p53 protein was 72% (13/18)immunohistochemically. Conclusions Cutaneous NK/T-cell lymphoma is a rare but highly aggressive lymphoma with poor prognosis. No p53 gene mutation was detected on the exon 4-9, and Pro/Arg SNPs on p53 codon 72 were detected in the cutaneous NK/T-cell lymphoma. The overexpression of p53 protein may not be the result of p53 gene mutation.展开更多

The aim of this study was to evaluate the value of intraductal ultrasonography (IDUS), endoscopic brush cytology and K-ras, P53 gene mutation in the early diagnosis of malignant biliary stricture. Methods: From February 2012 to February 2013, 84 patients with suspected malignant biliary stricture were performed I DUS firstly, then endoscopic brush cytology and finally K-ras, P53 gene mutation detection, the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy of all above ways were evaluated and compared. Results: Of 84 patients, 52 cases were ultimately diagnosed malignant biliary stenosis; of which, 9 cases had no recurrence or metastasis to other organs after radical operation during the follow-up period. IDUS combined with brush cytology and K-ras + P53 gene mutation detection had obvious advantage in the sensitivity, accuracy and negative predictive value than any other joint detection and single detection (the advantage was more significant compared with IDUS + brush cytology or any single detection P 〈 0.01). There were obvious statistical significance in the sensitivity and accuracy between IDUS + brush cytology + P53 or IDUS + brush cytology + K-ras and IDUS + brush cytology or IDUS (P 〈 0.05). There was no statistical significance in the sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, negative predictive value and accuracy between IDUS + brush cytology + P53 and IDUS + brush cytology + K-ras (P 〉 0.05). Conclusions: IDUS combined with brush cytology and K-ras, P53 gene mutation detection is better than the separate detection and contribute to the early diagnosis of malignant biliary stricture.

文摘The accumulation of mutant p53 protein in cancer cells was observed by immunohistochemistry analysis. DNA was extracted from paraffin-embedded tissue. Exons 5, 7 and 8 were amplified and studied by PCR-SSCP and sequencing analysis. Ten cases of asbestos associated cancer tissue were studied, of which five cases had adenocarcinoma, and the other five had mesothelioma, squamous carcinoma, small cell lung cancerl adenosquamous carcinoma and malignant lymphoma respectively. Employing monoclonal antibody PAb1801, five cases were found to be mutant p53 protein mpitive. Seven cases were found to have mutations by PCRSSCP. A total of 7 cases (8 mutations) were found to be positive and 4 cases were found to be opitive by both of these analyses. Of the 8 mutations found by SSCP analysis, 4(50%, 4/8)were clustered in exon 8. A high mutation frequency was noticed in adenocarcinoma (80%,4/5). ffequencing analysis on two specimens revealed two hotspot mutations. In codon 234,TAC for tyrooin was mutated to AAC fOr aspar8gine by a T to A transversion of the first letter.

文摘p53 is mutated in half of cancer cases.However,no p53-targeting drugs have been approved.Here,we reposition decitabine for triple-negative breast cancer(TNBC),a subtype with frequent p53 mutations and extremely poor prognosis.In a retrospective study on tissue microarrays with 132 TNBC cases,DNMT1 overexpression was associated with p53 mutations(P=0.037)and poor overall survival(OS)(P=0.010).In a prospective DEciTabinE and Carboplatin in TNBC(DETECT)trial(NCT03295552),decitabine with carboplatin produced an objective response rate(ORR)of 42%in 12 patients with stage IV TNBC.Among the 9 trialed patients with available TP53 sequencing results,the 6 patients with p53 mutations had higher ORR(3/6 vs.0/3)and better OS(16.0 vs.4.0 months)than the patients with wild-type p53.In a mechanistic study,isogenic TNBC cell lines harboring DETECT-derived p53 mutations exhibited higher DNMT1 expression and decitabine sensitivity than the cell line with wild-type p53.In the DETECT trial,decitabine induced strong immune responses featuring the striking upregulation of the innate immune player IRF7 in the p53-mutated TNBC cell line(upregulation by 16-fold)and the most responsive patient with TNBC.Our integrative studies reveal the potential of repurposing decitabine for the treatment of p53-mutated TNBC and suggest IRF7 as a potential biomarker for decitabine-based treatments.

文摘Genetic mutations in TP53 contribute to human malignancies through various means.To date,there have been a variety of therapeutic strategies targeting p53,including gene therapy to restore normal p53 function,mutant p53 rescue,inhibiting the MDM2-p53 interaction,p53-based vaccines,and a number of other approaches.This review focuses on the functions of TP53 and discusses the aberrant roles of mutant p53 in various types of cancer.Recombinant human p53 adenovirus,trademarked as Gendicine,which is the first anti-tumor gene therapy drug,has made tremendous progress in cancer gene therapy.We herein discuss the biological mechanisms by which Gendicine exerts its effects and describe the clinical re-sponses reported in clinical trials.Notably,the clinical studies suggest that the combination of Gendicine with chemotherapy and/or radiotherapy may produce more pronounced efficacy in slowing tumor growth and progression than gene therapy/chemotherapy alone.Finally,we summarize the methods of administration of recombinant human p53 adenovirus for different cancer types to provide a reference for future clinical trials.
