Correlation between gastric carcinoma and ZAC gene-associated microsatellite instability and loss of heterozygosity.

ABSTRACT: The present study explored the association between loss of heterozygosity (LOH) or microsatellite instability (MSI) of the zinc finger regulator of apoptosis and cell-cycle arrest (ZAC) gene and the clinicopathological factors of gastric cancer. Samples of cancer and cancer-adjacent normal tissue from 30 patients with gastric cancer were collected. The genomic DNA was extracted from each and amplified with primers specific to ZAC microsatellite mutations, then run on a polyacrylamide gel for analysis. The CA197 microsatellite locus exhibited LOH in cancer sample 4. There was LOH in the 15AAAG locus in cancer sample 27 and cancer-adjacent tissue 23, and MSI at 15AAAG in cancer-adjacent tissue 27. There was MSI at the D6S1703 microsatellite locus in cancer-adjacent tissue 28. There was no LOH or MSI in the CA340 microsatellite locus in the gastric cancer or adjacent tissues analyzed. Thus, the frequency of LOH or MSI at ZAC gene-associated microsatellite loci for all patients was 13.3% (4/30). The present study has demonstrated that LOH and MSI events may contribute to the downregulation of ZAC; however, it is unlikely to be the primary cause, as it was only identified in 13.3% of cases.

Clinicopathological significance of loss of heterozygosity and microsatellite instability in hepatocellular carcinoma in China.

Project description:AIM:To determine the features of microsatellite alterations and their association with clinicopathological characteristics of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). METHODS:Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and microsatellite instability (MSI) of 55 microsatellite loci were detected with PCR-based microsatellite polymorphism analyses in tumors and corresponding noncancerous liver tissues of 56 surgically resected HCCs using the MegaBACE 500 automatic DNA analysis system. RESULTS:LOH was found in 44 of 56 HCCs (78.6%) at one or several loci. Frequencies of LOH on 1p, 4q, 8p, 16q, and 17p were 69.6% (39/56), 71.4% (40/56), 66.1% (37/56), 66.1% (37/56), and 64.3% (36/56), respectively. MSI was found in 18 of 56 HCCs (32.1%) at one or several loci. Ten of fifty-six (17.9%) HCCs had MSI-H. Serum HBV infection, alpha-fetoprotein concentration, tumor size, cirrhosis, histological grade, tumor capsule, as well as tumor intrahepatic metastasis, might be correlated with LOH on certain chromosome regions. CONCLUSION:Frequent microsatellite alterations exist in HCC. LOH, which represents a tumor suppressor gene pathway, plays a more important role in hepatocarcinogenesis. MSI, which represents a mismatch repair gene pathway, is a rare event during liver carcinogenesis. Furthermore, LOH on certain chromosome regions may be correlated with clinicopathological characteristics in HCC.

Characterization and clinical evaluation of microsatellite instability and loss of heterozygosity in tumor-related genes in gastric cancer.

Project description:Microsatellite instability (MSI) detection is widely used in the diagnosis and prognosis evaluation of colorectal cancer. However, for gastric cancer (GC), there is no standard panel of microsatellites (MSs) used in clinical guidance. The present study aimed to identify useful predictors of the clinical features and for the prognosis of GC, based on an investigation of MSI and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in tumor-related genes. First, from 20 tumor-related genes which were proven to be important to the development of GC, 91 MSs were identified, and PCR amplification, short tandem repeat scanning analysis and TA clone sequencing were used to analyze MSI and LOH in the first set of 90 GC samples. Subsequently, the same method was used to detect the MSI/LOH of the optimized loci in the second set of 136 GC samples. MSI/LOH in the mismatch repair genes was highly consistent with that in oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes, respectively. The length of the core sequence was a main factor for the MSI/LOH rate. The MSI of 12 single loci was significantly associated with lymph node metastasis. The MSI in TP53-1 and the LOH in MGMT-10 were significantly associated with early stages of tumor infiltration depth. The LOH in MGMT-10, PTN-2 and MCC-17 was significantly associated with TNM stage. The LOH in TP53-1 and ERBB2-12 was associated with adenocarcinoma. The MSI/LOH in 6 single loci of 5 tumor-related genes was associated with poor prognosis of GC. The present study demonstrated that the MSI/LOH of loci in tumor-associated genes was associated with 4 clinicopathological characteristics and outcomes of GC. These results may provide potential specific biomarkers for the clinical prediction and treatment of GC.

Genetic instability in lung cancer: concurrent analysis of chromosomal, mini- and microsatellite instability and loss of heterozygosity.

Project description:To investigate what kind of genetic instability plays important roles in lung carcinogenesis, we analyzed micro- and minisatellite instability, loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and chromosome instability in 55 cases of lung cancer, including, 10 squamous cell, 5 large cell, and 3 small cell carcinomas, and 37 adenocarcinomas. Analysis of minisatellite instability, the mechanism of which is different from microsatellite instability, has not been reported previously. Minisatellite instability was detected in only one case (1/55, 1.8%), and the frequency of microsatellite instability was low, being found only in three cases (3/55, 5.5%). In contrast, LOH, for at least in one locus, was observed in 27 cases (49.1%). In adenocarcinomas, the frequency of LOH was higher in poorly differentiated compared to more differentiated carcinomas. For chromosome instability, a similar correlation between differentiation grade and instability was observed in adenocarcinomas. And instability was more common in large cell and small cell carcinomas than in adenocarcinomas. Our analysis showed that chromosome instability and LOH, rather than mini- and microsatellite instability, play significant roles in the development of lung cancer.

Appendiceal carcinoma associated with microsatellite instability.

Project description:Approximately 15% of colorectal cancer (CRC) cases exhibit microsatellite instability (MSI), which appears to be associated with unique biological behavior. The present study presents a case of appendiceal carcinoma associated with MSI that responded well to adjuvant chemotherapy. Clinical, pathological and immunohistochemical (IHC) characteristics have been described. The 60-year-old male patient had suffered from recurrent lower abdominal pain associated with abdominal distention for 6 months; then, following an acute attack, he was subjected to laparoscopic appendectomy. The histopathological examination revealed moderately differentiated appendiceal adenocarcinoma with mucinous areas, without lymphovascular or perineural invasion. The IHC examination was positive for keratin-20 and caudal type homeobox 2, and negative for MutL Homolog 1, MutS Homolog (MSH) 2 and MSH-6. A postoperative colonoscopy revealed diverticulosis, without the presence of polyps or tumors. However, an abdominal axial computerized tomography scan revealed thickening of the distal portion of the appendix, increased density of the greater omentum, and metastases to the liver capsule, spleen and peritoneum. The treatment of choice was right hemicolectomy with peritoneal debulking, followed by 10 cycles of chemotherapy with 5-fluorouracil, leucovorin and oxaliplatin (FOLFOX regimen). After 5 years of follow-up, the patient remains in good condition, without clinical or radiological signs of recurrence. The good response to chemotherapy corresponds with the observations made in other colon cancers with MSI. Therefore, testing for MSI in appendiceal carcinomas may provide useful information on prognosis and predict response to chemotherapy.

Loss of heterozygosity and microsatellite instability as predictive markers among Iranian esophageal cancer patients.

Project description:ObjectivesVariation in microsatellite sequences that are dispersed in the genome has been linked to a deficiency in cellular mismatch repair system and defects in several genes of this system are involved in carcinogenesis. Our aim in this study was to illustrate microsatellite DNA alteration in esophageal cancer.Materials and methodsDNA was extracted from formalin fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) tissues from surgical and matched margin-normal samples. Microsatellite instability (MSI) and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) were studied in 50 cases of esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) by amplifying six microsatellite markers: D13S260 (13q12.3), D13S267 (13q12.3), D9S171 (9p21), D2S123 (2p), D5S2501 (5q21) and TP53 (17p13.1) analyzed on 6% denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis.ResultsStatistical analysis indicated a near significant reverse correlation between grade and LOH (P= 0.068, correlation coefficient= -0.272). Specifically, increased LOH in tumor DNA has a significant correlation with increased differentiation from poorly differentiated to well differentiated tumors (P= 0.002 and P= 0.016 respectively). In addition, higher number of chromosomal loci with LOH showed a reverse correlation with lymph node metastasis (P= 0.026, correlation coefficient= -0.485). Furthermore, there was a positive correlation between addiction and MSI (P= 0.026, correlation coefficient= 0.465).ConclusionMicrosatellite DNA alterations may be a prognostic tool for detection and the evolution of prognosis in patients with SCC of esophagus. It can be concluded that regional lymph node metastasis would be less likely with increased heterozygote loci and addiction with any of opium, cigarette, water pipe or alcohol can be a susceptibility factor(s) for MSI.

Loss of heterozygosity and microsatellite instability in de novo versus ex-adenoma carcinomas of the colorectum.

Project description:Small adenocarcinomas of the colorectum showing no evidence of origin from an adenoma have been called de novo carcinomas, a name that implies an origin via a different molecular genetic mechanism than the usual colorectal carcinoma which develops from an adenoma. Using microsatellite analysis, 35 early (pT1) de novo and 36 pT1 ex-adenoma carcinomas were compared using 8 microsatellite loci at 6 different chromosomal loci (1p, 2p, 8p, 5q, 17p, and 18q) known or hypothesized to be important for colorectal carcinogenesis. The rate of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at the 17p locus (near the p53 gene) was significantly higher in the de novo than in the ex-adenoma group (73 vs. 37%, P = 0.004). The rates of LOH at the other loci (including the APC and DCC genes) and the rate of MSI were not significantly different in the two groups. These results indicate that de novo carcinomas of the colorectum develop via a similar carcinogenetic pathway as conventional ex-adenoma carcinomas; however, their higher rate of LOH at 17p is evidence for a biologically more advanced lesion with more frequent p53 mutations, consistent with clinicopathological data indicating that de novo carcinomas are more aggressive than ex-adenoma carcinomas.

Microsatellite instability and loss of heterozygosity detected in middle-aged patients with sporadic colon cancer: A retrospective study.

Project description:Microsatellite instability (MSI) is a mutator phenotype that results from a defective mismatch repair (MMR) pathway. The present study examined the incidence of MSI and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) according to five markers from the panel of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) in 38 colorectal cancer (CRC) patients from the United Arab Emirates (UAE). MSI and LOH were analyzed using fragment analyses in a multiplex PCR setting on a capillary array electrophoresis platform. The expression of the MMR proteins, hMLH1 and hMSH2, was analyzed using immunohistochemistry. The cohort consisted of 17 females (44.7%) and 21 males (55.3%) with mean ages of 59.9 and 63.3 years, respectively. The overall MSI incidence was 31.3% (95% CI, 16.1-50.0), and included three patients with high MSI (MSI-H; 9.4%; 95% CI, 2.0-25.0) and seven patients with low MSI (MSI-L; 21.9%; 95% CI, 10.7-39). LOH was detected in three patients, while the remaining 25 patients (65.8%) showed no instability and were therefore classified as microsatellite stable (MSS). MSI was detected in the following screened markers: Bat25 in seven patients, Bat26 in three patients, adenomatous polyposis coli (APC; D5S346) in five patients, AFM093xh3 (D2S123) in two patients and Mfd15 (D17S250) in three patients. Of the five MSI-positive patients, four (80%) were evidently younger, aged 38, 48, 49 and 59 years, respectively. The MSI-H incidence (9.4%) was lower compared with that of other ethnic groups. In terms of the MMR proteins, hMLH1 expression was deficient in seven patients, of whom three were MSI-H patients, and hMSH2 was deficient in three patients. Fisher's exact test showed significant associations between hMLH1 and MSI when classified as MSS, MSI-L or MSI-H (P=0.0003). No such association was observed with abnormal MMR protein expression, age, cancer stage or gender.

Characterization and clinical evaluation of microsatellite instability and loss of heterozygosity within tumor-related genes in colorectal cancer.

Project description:BackgroundMicrosatellite instability (MSI) is a biomarker for better outcomes in colorectal cancer (CRC). However, this conclusion is controversial. In addition, MSs can be a useful marker for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of genes, but this finding has not been well studied. Here, we aimed to clarify the predictive value of MSI/LOH within tumor-related genes in CRC.MethodsWe detected MSI/LOH of MSs in tumor-related genes and the Bethesda (B5) panel by STR scanning and cloning/sequencing. We further analyzed the relationship between MSI/LOH status and clinical features or outcomes by Pearson's Chi-square test, Fisher's exact test and the Kaplan-Meier method.ResultsThe findings indicated that the MSI rates of B5 loci were all higher than those of loci in tumor-related genes. Interestingly, MSI/LOH of 2 loci in the B5 panel and 12 loci in tumor-related genes were associated with poorer outcomes, while MSI/LOH of the B5 panel failed to predict outcomes in CRC. MSI of BAT25, MSI/LOH of BAT26 and MSI of the B5 panel showed closer relationships with mucinous carcinoma. In addition, LOH-H of the B5 panel was associated with increased lymphatic metastasis.ConclusionsIn summary, MSI/LOH of certain loci or the whole panel of B5 is related to clinical features, and several loci within tumor-related genes showed prognostic value in the outcomes of CRC.

The relation of microsatellite instability to expression of hTERT in human gastric carcinoma.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:To investigate the role of microsatellite instability (MSI) in the pathogenesis of gastric carcinoma and its relationship with the expression of hTERT gene. METHODS:75 cases of gastric carcinoma and paired normal control tissues were included in this study. MSI of BAT-25, BAT-26, D5S346, D17S250 and D2S1235 were detected by PCR, native polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, and silver staining while the expression of hTERT was localized by immunohistochemistry at the same time. RESULTS:MSI positive rates of BAT-25, BAT-26, D5S346, D17S250 and D2S123 were 14.7%, 12.00%, 26.67%, 16% and 21.3%. MSI was obviously related with lymph node metastasis and pathologic stages respectively (P<0.05), but not with age, gender, histologic type, or infiltration depth (P>0.05). hTERT was not expressed in normal gastric mucosa, but in intestinal metaplasia, dysplasia, and gastric carcinoma. The positive rate of hTERT was 76% (57/75) in 75 cases of gastric carcinoma tissues. The expression of hTERT was obviously related to histological type (P<0.05), but not to age, gender, lymph node metastasis, depth of invasion, or staging, respectively (P>0.05). The positive rate was higher in poorly differentiated cases than in moderately and well differentiated cases (P<0.05). MSI accounted for 28.1% of 57 hTERT positive cases while MSI accounted for 72.2% in 18 hTERT negative cases. Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that MSI was negatively related to hTERT expression (r=0.387, P=0.001). CONCLUSION:MSI may play an important role in the pathogenesis and progression of gastric carcinoma by affecting the expression of TERT gene.

Mlh1 heterozygosity and promoter methylation associates with microsatellite instability in mouse sperm.

Project description:DNA mismatch repair (MMR) proteins play an important role in maintaining genome stability, both in somatic and in germline cells. Loss of MLH1, a central MMR protein, leads to infertility and to microsatellite instability (MSI) in spermatocytes, however, the effect of Mlh1 heterozygosity on germline genome stability remains unexplored. To test the effect of Mlh1 heterozygosity on MSI in mature sperm, we combined mouse genetics with single-molecule PCR that detects allelic changes at unstable microsatellites. We discovered 4.5% and 5.9% MSI in sperm of 4- and 12-month-old Mlh1+/- mice, respectively, and that Mlh1 promoter methylation in Mlh1+/- sperm correlated with higher MSI. No such elevated MSI was seen in non-proliferating somatic cells. Additionally, we show contrasting dynamics of deletions versus insertions at unstable microsatellites (mononucleotide repeats) in sperm.
