Deficient Pms2, ERCC1, Ku86, CcOI in Field Defects During Progression to Colon Cancer
In carcinogenesis, the "field defect" is recognized clinically because of the high propensity of survivors of certain cancers to develop other malignancies of the same tissue type, often in a nearby location. Such field defects have been indicated in colon cancer. The molecular abnormalities that are responsible for a field defect in the colon should be detectable at high frequency in the histo...
متن کاملField defects in progression to adenocarcinoma of the colon and esophagus
A field of defective tissue (field defect) appears to be an early stage in the progression to adenocarcinoma of both the colon and the esophagus. In both cases the field is comprised of cells characterized by resistance to induction of apoptosis, aberrant increased proliferation and genomic instability. Specific mutations and epimutations occur in both types of field. Also there is evidence for...
متن کاملLINE-1 Hypomethylation During Primary Colon Cancer Progression
BACKGROUND Methylation levels of genomic repeats such as long interspersed nucleotide elements (LINE-1) are representative of global methylation status and play an important role in maintenance of genomic stability. The objective of the study was to assess LINE-1 methylation status in colorectal cancer (CRC) in relation to adenomatous and malignant progression, tissue heterogeneity, and TNM-sta...
متن کاملDouble-strand break repair in Ku86- and XRCC4-deficient cells.
The Ku86 and XRCC4 proteins perform critical but poorly understood functions in the repair of DNA double-strand breaks. Both Ku 86- and XRCC4-deficient cells exhibit profound radiosensitivity and severe defects in V(D)J recombination, including excessive deletions at recombinant junctions. Previous workers have suggested that these phenomena may reflect defects in joining of the broken DNA ends...
متن کاملPMS2 mutations in childhood cancer.
Until recently, the PMS2 DNA mismatch repair gene has only rarely been implicated as a cancer susceptibility locus. New studies have shown, however, that earlier analyses of this gene have had technical limitations and also that the genetic behavior of mutant PMS2 alleles is unusual, in that, unlike MLH1 or MSH2 mutations, PMS2 mutations show low heterozygote penetrance. As a result, a dominant...
