- The results regarding a GC/AT polymorphism in the p73 gene in relation to cancer risk are inconsistent, and the significance of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) of the gene is unclear. In the present study, we investigated whether this polymorphism was related to the risk of colorectal cancer, and whether there were relationships between the polymorphism and LOH, protein expression or clinicopathological variables. 179 patients with colorectal cancer and 260 healthy controls were genotyped for the polymorphism by PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP). Fifty informative cases were examined for LOH in tumours. Immunohistochemistry was performed on distant (n = 42) and adjacent normal mucosa (n = 33), primary tumour (n = 6 9) and lymph node metastasis (n = 12). The frequencies of the genotypes were 63% for wild-type (GC/GC), 30% for heterozygotes (GC/AT) and 7% for variants (AT/AT) in patients, and 62, 36 and 2% in controls, respectively. The frequencies of the genotypes in the patients and controls were significantly different (P = 0.02). The patients carrying the AT allele had a better prognosis than those with the GC/GC genotype (OR = 0.42, 95% CI = 1.15-5.02, P = 0.02). No LOH was observed at the p73 locus. Expression of p73 protein was increased from normal mucosa to primary tumours (P = 0.02), but was not significantly changed between primary tumours and metastases (P = 1.0). In conclusion, the AT/AT homozygotes may have a greater risk of developing colorectal cancer, while the patients who carried the AT allele had a better prognosis.

- The oligonucleotide 5'-d(CCTATAGATATCC) has been reacted with the (+)- or (-)-enantiomers of trans-7,8-dihydroxy-9,10-epoxy-7,8,9,10-tetrahydrobenzo[a]pyrene [(+)-and (-)-anti-BPDE respectively]. Consistent with previous studies employing single-stranded oligonucleotides, adduct formation of both anti-BPDE enantiomers preferentially involved trans-addition of the C10 position of the diol-epoxide to the exocyclic nitrogen of deoxyguanosine [in the following abbreviated as (+)-BPDE(t)-N-2-G and (-)-BPDE(t)-N-2-G adducts respectively]. The unmodified or (+)-BPDE(t)-N-2-G-modified oligonucleotide was allowed to form duplexes with the complementary sequence 5'-d(GGATATCTATAGG) or sequences in which C has been replaced with T, G or A and analysed with regard to thermal stability. The presence of a (+)-BPDE(t)-N-2-G adduct in oligonucleotide duplexes substantially decreased the value of the melting point relative to the corresponding unmodified duplex. In mismatched complexes containing the (+)-BPDE(t)-N-2-G adduct, a further decrease in thermal stability was observed. The presence of a (+)-BPDE(t)-N-2-G adduct did not seem to change the extent of hyperchromicity (approximate to 20%) upon melting. 5'-d(GGATATCTATAGG) or strands in which C was replaced with T,G or A were gradually added to (+)- or (-)-BPDE(t)-N-2-G-modified oligonucleotides and the fluorescence emission intensity was determined. In all cases with (+)-BPDE(t)-N-2-G, except when C was replaced with A in the complement, the fluorescence intensity steadily decreased and became constant at equal strand concentrations. When a strand containing A in place of C was gradually added to the (+)-BPDE(t)-N-2-G oligonucleotide, a marked increase in the fluorescence intensity was observed (>3-fold). In contrast, addition of strands containing A, T or G to the (-)-BPDE(t)-N-2-G-modified oligonucleotide increased tbe fluorescence intensity from 1.5- to >5-fold. Addition of the fully complementary sequence to the (-)-BPDE(t)-N-2-G-containing oligonucleotide resulted in reduced fluorescence, however less pronounced than with the (+)-BPDE(t)-N-2-G-modified analogue. Significant changes in spectral properties of the adducts were observed in the duplexes. The absorption and fluorescence excitation maxima of the single-stranded (+)-BPDE(t)-N-2-G-modified oligonucleotide were at 353 nm. Insertion of C or A opposite the adduct caused a significant shift of these maxima to shorter wavelengths (347-348 nm). Addition of acrylamide, a fluorescence quencher, reduced the fluorescence intensity in all cases, but to variable extents. The adducts not quenchable by acrylamide demonstrate spectral properties similar to those of the single-stranded (+)-BPDE(t)-N-2-G-modified oligonucleotide.
