- Conflicting results regarding the association of a polymorphism at codon 72 of the p53 tumour suppressor gene and susceptibility to develop human papilloma virus (HPV)-associated cervical cancer have been published over the last year, implicating differences in ethnic background, sample origin, sample size and/or detection assay, The material for this study was collected in the identical geographical region as for 2 previous reports with contradictory results regarding the association of codon 72 genotype with squamous cell cancer (SCC), We have used an alternative detection assay, based on pyrosequencing technology, that interrogates the variable position by the accuracy of DNA polymerase. In addition to cervical clinical specimens from SCC, HPV16- and HPV18-infected adenocarcinoma cases as well as cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CM) were investigated. No significant association was found between p53 codon 72 genotype and the risk to develop adenocarcinoma, SCC or CIN in the Swedish population.

- We have previously reported on direct sequence analysis of the p53 gene in laser-dissected single cells from tissue sections, where each allele of two fragments (exons 7 and 8) could be accurately analyzed in only 14% of the cells due to the high frequency of exon and allele dropout. Here in an effort to minimize this problem, we have investigated various approaches for sample preparation and gene amplification. By pinpointing some critical steps in the procedure, we could increase the number of investigated exons and substantially improve the genetic analysis of single cells obtained from histochemically stained frozen tissue sections. The biggest improvement was achieved by minimizing DNA degradation using EDTA as a nuclease inhibitor in all sample preparation steps. Efforts to increase primer annealing, by increasing the concentration of template and primers, in addition to prolonging the annealing and extension times, also improved the amplification efficiency. With these measures we can now amplify six individual exons of the p53 gene (exons 4-9) in 70% of the cells and in 50% of these cells both alleles are amplified. This allows application of the method in various investigations such as within the held of tumor pathology.

Affinity proteomics for systematic protein profiling of chromosome 21 gene products in human tissues

- Here we show that an affinity proteomics strategy using affinity-purified antibodies raised against recombinant human protein fragments can be used for chromosome-wide protein profiling. The approach is based on affinity reagents raised toward bioinformatics-designed protein epitope signature tags corresponding to unique regions of individual gene loci. The genes of human chromosome 21 identified by the genome efforts were investigated, and the success rates for de novo cloning, protein production, and antibody generation were 85, 76, and 56%, respectively. Using human tissue arrays, a systematic profiling of protein expression and subcellular localization was undertaken for the putative gene products. The results suggest that this affinity proteomics strategy can be used to produce a proteome atlas, describing distribution and expression of proteins in normal tissues as well as in common cancers and other forms of diseased tissues.

- Foci of normal keratinocytes overexpressing p53 protein are frequently found in normal human skin. Such epidermal p53 clones are common in chronically sun-exposed skin and have been suggested to play a role in skin cancer development. In the present study, we have analyzed the prevalence of p53 mutations in epidermal p53 clones from normal skin surrounding basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and squamous cell carcinoma (SCC). Using laser-assisted microdissection, 37 epidermal p53 clones adjacent to BCC (21) and SCC (16) were collected. Genetic analysis was performed using a multiplex/nested polymerase chain reaction followed by direct DNA sequencing of p53 exons 2-11. In total, 21 of 37 analyzed p53 clones consisted of p53-mutated keratinocytes. The identified mutations were located in p53 exons 4-8, corresponding to the sequence-specific DNA-binding domain. All mutations were missense, and 78% displayed a typical ultraviolet signature. The frequency of p53 mutations was similar in skin adjacent to BCC compared to SCC. The presented data confirm and extend previous knowledge on the genetic background of epidermal p53 clones. The mutation spectra found in epidermal p53 clones resemble that of non-melanoma skin cancer. Approximately, 40% of the epidermal p53 clones lacked an underlying p53 mutation, suggesting that other genetic events in genes up- or downstream of the p53 gene can generate foci of normal keratinocytes overexpressing p53 protein.
