- OBJECTIVE: The 9p21 locus is a major target in the pathogenesis of human urinary bladder cancer. This locus harbours the CDKN2A/ARF tumour suppressor gene, which encodes two cell-cycle regulatory proteins: p16INK4a and p14ARF. We studied how homozygous deletions and multiple duplications at this locus affect prognosis and survival in patients with bladder cancer. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (QPCR), based on simultaneous amplification of ARF and a reference gene, glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase, was used to measure homozygous deletions and multiple duplications in a population-based material consisting of 478 patients with urinary bladder cancer. Results from real-time QPCR were compared with clinico-pathological parameters and survival curves were generated using the Kaplan-Meier method. RESULTS: Real-time QPCR analysis showed 71 (15%) homozygous deletions and 8 (2%) multiple duplications. We were unable to find any association between either stage or grade and urinary neoplasms with homozygous deletions. However, although there were only a limited number of patients with multiple duplications, 7/8 of them had highly malignant tumours (G2b-G4 or > or = T1; p = 0.02). CONCLUSIONS: Urinary bladder cancers constitute a spectrum of neoplasms with varying clinical manifestations. We were unable to establish a prognostic relevance for patients with tumours harbouring homozygous deletions at the CDKN2A/ARF locus. However, our data did indicate that patients with multiple duplications at the CDKN2A/ARF locus had poor survival. This suggests that multiple duplications, in combination with other genetic changes, have cooperative effects which have a negative outcome on urinary bladder cancer prognosis.

- Genetic polymorphisms affecting expression or activity of the corresponding enzymes can influence the risk of acquiring gene mutations and various cancers. We have studied 327 bladder cancer patients with regard to the functionally related polymorphisms of GSTM1, GSTT1, GSTP1 and NAT2 and analysed the p53 mutational status of their tumours. Fifty p53 mutations, 26% transversions and 74% transitions, were detected in 44 patients. P53 mutation frequency was significantly higher in higher-grade tumours than in low-grade tumours (OR = 2.09, 95% CI 1.44-3.02, adjusted for age and sex). Also, a significant association was found between tumour stage (Tis and T2+ vs. Ta and T1) and presence of the GSTP1 val allele (adjusted OR = 2.00, CI 1.14-3.52). Overall, there was no significant difference in frequency of p53 mutation among patients with different genotypes. Among patients with p53 mutation, transversions were significantly more frequent in GSTM1-negative as compared to GSTM1-positive individuals (OR = 5.18, CI 1.07-25.02, adjusted for age, sex and tumour stage). With one exception, all tumours with the most common type of transversion, G:C-C:G, occurred in GSTM1-negative patients. Among smokers, all transversions (3 of 3), but only 2 of 13 transitions, were found among carriers of the GSTP1 variant allele, and samples carrying at least 1 variant GSTP1 allele had more transitions at CpG sites than wild-type samples (adjusted OR = 4.61, CI 0.82-26.04). No significant associations were found for the NAT2 gene. Our results suggest that impaired glutathione conjugation may affect the mutation spectrum in critical target genes.

- We studied the effects of polymorphisms in nine genes involved in DNA repair and detoxification on occurrence and type of p53 mutation in 327 bladder cancer patients. The included polymorphisms are XPC(Lys939Gln), XPD(Lys751Gln), XPG(Asp1104His), XRCC1(Arg3999Gln), XRCC3(Thr241Met), NBS1(Glu185Gln), cyclin D1(Pro241Pro), MTHFR(Ala222Val and Glu429Ala) and NQO1(Arg139Trp and Pro187Ser). We found increased risk for p53 mutation among cyclin D1 variant allele homozygotes (OR 2.4 CI 0.8-6.7). Among non-smokers, 75% (3/4) with p53 mutation but only 12.5% (3/24) without p53 mutations were XRCC3 241Met homozygotes (P=0.03). Among smokers, all p53 transversions (3/3), but only 41.7% (5/12) of p53 transitions were found among carriers of the XPC 939Gln allele. Individuals carrying the NQO1 187Ser allele showed increased risk for p53 transversions (OR 4.7, CI 0.9-26.1). All (2/2) NQO1 139Trp allele carriers but only 17.5% (7/40) of the Arg139 homozygotes had p53 transversions. Our findings suggest that altered repair and detoxification due to genetic polymorphism may influence the occurrence of p53 mutations in bladder cancer.

- OBJECTIVE: To evaluate whether the single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), Asp1104His (G3507C), in the XPG gene affects malignant phenotypes of nonmuscle-invasive urinary bladder neoplasms (NIBN), by investigating associations between the SNP and clinicopathological variables in patients with NIBN. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The 233 patients constituted newly diagnosed cases of primary NIBN in the Stockholm area. The Asp1104His polymorphism in the XPG gene was genotyped using a polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism technique. RESULTS: The GC + CC genotypes were more frequent in stage pT1 tumours at initial diagnosis than pTa (odds ratio 1.9, 95% confidence interval 1.0-3.5, P = 0.048). The difference was larger in the young group (4.6, 1.9-11.8, P = 0.001). In the young group, the GC + CC genotypes were significantly more frequent in high-grade than in low-grade tumours (3.1, 1.5-6.8, P = 0.004) whereas in the older group the genotypes were less frequent in high-grade tumours (0.3, 0.1-0.7, P = 0.007). The XPG genotypes were not associated with tumour recurrence, stage progression or survival. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that the SNP in the XPG gene might be related to tumour invasiveness in NIBN.

- We investigated the association of urinary bladder cancer with genetic polymorphisms in the xeroderma pigmentosum complementation group C (XPC), group D (XPD) and group G (XPG), X-ray repair cross-complementing group 1 (XRCC1) and group 3 (XRCC3), Nijmegen breakage syndrome 1 (NBS1), cyclin D1, methylene-tetrahydrofolate reductase (MTHFR), NAD(P)H dehydrogenase quinone 1 (NQO1), H-ras and glutathione S-transferase theta 1 (GSTT1) genes. Bladder cancer patients from the different hospitals in Stockholm County Council area and matching controls were genotyped for different polymorphisms. The frequency of the variant allele for A/C polymorphism in exon 15 of the XPC gene was significantly higher in the bladder cancer cases than in the controls (OR 1.49, 95% CI 1.16-1.92, P = 0.001). The variant allele homozygote genotype for the T/C polymorphism in exon 1 of the H-ras gene was associated with a decreased risk for bladder cancer (OR 0.12, 95% CI 0.02-0.67, P = 0.006). The variant allele genotypes for the single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DNA repair genes, XPG and NBS1, showed a marginal association with the occurrence of bladder cancer (OR 0.38, 95% CI 0.15-0.94, P = 0.03 and OR 1.64, 95% CI 0.92-2.90, P = 0.09, respectively). We also report a positive correlation between the null homozygote of GSTT1 with the risk of bladder cancer (OR 2.54, 95% CI 1.32-4.98, P = 0.003). For other polymorphisms included in this study, NBS1 Glu185Gln, XPD Lys751Gln, XPG Asp1104His, XRCC1 Arg399Gln, XRCC3 Thr241Met, cyclin D1 Pro242Pro, MTHFR Ala222Val and Glu429Ala, NQO1 Arg139Trp and Pro187Ser, no significant differences for genotype distributions and allele frequencies between the bladder cancer cases and the controls were observed in the present study.
