Enhanced susceptibility to chemical induction of ovarian tumors in mice with a germ line p53 mutation.

چکیده
Mice with a germ line p53 mutation (p53(Ala135Val/wt)) display increased susceptibility to lung, skin, and colon carcinogenesis. Here, we show that p53(Ala135Val/wt) mice developed ovarian tumors significantly more rapidly than their wild-type littermates after 7,12-dimethylbenz(a)anthracene (DMBA) treatment. Approximately 50% of the ovarian tumors in p53(wt/wt) mice and 23% in p53(Ala135Val/wt) mice are adenocarcinomas and the remaining tumors were adenocarcinoma mixed with sarcoma or ovarian sarcomas. All of the p53(Ala135Val/wt) mice had died of ovarian tumors 25 weeks after the initial DMBA treatment, whereas >50% of p53(wt/wt) mice were still alive. These mice not only have a shortened tumor latency but also closely resemble a subset of human ovarian tumors containing the p53 mutation. Microarray and GenMAPP analyses revealed that the mutant p53 (Ala135Val) affected several cellular processes, including the cell cycle, apoptosis, and Wnt pathways. These findings indicate that a germ line p53 mutation significantly enhanced DMBA-induced ovarian tumor development and progression.

Recent evidence indicates that individuals with a p53 germ-line mutation (Li-Fraumeni syndrome) have a 50% risk of developing lung cancer by age 60. In this study, p53 heterozygous knockout mice and p53 transgenic mice carrying a dominant negative mutant were crossed with the A/J mouse, which is highly susceptible to lung tumor induction, to investigate whether a p53 germ-line mutation is a pre...

Objective Mustard gas (MG) is a poisoning chemical, mutagenic and carcinogenic alkylating agent. It is used during World War I and also Iran-Iraq conflict. The p53 tumor suppressor gene is involved in the pathogenesis of malignant disease. The aim of this study is to determine possible mutation in p53 gene of lung sample from mustard gas exposed patients. Material and Methods Twelve lung bio...
متن کاملCell lineage-specific effects associated with multiple deficiencies of tumor susceptibility genes in Msh2(-/-)Rb(+/-) mice.
Cooperative effects of genetic alterations are frequently observed during carcinogenesis. Mice carrying germ-line mutations in both Rb and p53 or Msh2 and p53 die earlier of tumors than mice with only one of these genes inactivated. Mice with a single wild-type Rb allele develop a syndrome of multiple neuroendocrine neoplasia, and inactivation of both alleles of Msh2 gene predisposes mice to ga...

Hereditary ovarian cancers associated with germline mutations in either BRCA1 or BRCA2 were studied to determine whether somatic mutation of the P53 gene is required for BRCA-linked ovarian tumorigenesis and further, whether the spectrum of additional somatic molecular genetic alterations present in these tumors differs from that known to exist in sporadic ovarian cancers. Forty tumors, 29 link...
