In this study, we analyzed the impact of 17p13 (<i>TP53</i>) deletions and p53 expression on tumor aggressiveness and patient prognosis in urothelial carcinoma. The 17p13 copy number status was analyzed by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) on more than 2700 urothelial bladder carcinomas in a tissue microarray format. 17p13 deletion data were compared to p53 expression data measured by immunohistochemistry (IHC) in a previous study. Different types of p53 alterations were compared with tumor phenotype and clinical outcome data. Deletions of 17p13 occurred in 23% of 2185 analyzable carcinomas. The fraction of tumors with 17p13 deletions increased from pTa G2 low (9%) to pTa G3 (24%, <i>p</i> &lt; 0.0001). In muscle-invasive carcinomas, 17p13 deletions were associated with advanced pT stage (<i>p</i> = 0.0246), but unrelated to patient prognosis (<i>p</i> &gt; 0.5). 17p13 deletions were significantly related to p53 immunostaining (<i>p</i> = 0.0375). 17p13 deletions were most common in tumors with complete lack of p53 staining (31%), which supports the concept that many of these tumors have a complete loss of p53 function (p53 null phenotype). 17p13 deletions were also increased in tumors with high p53 staining (25%). In conclusion, 17p13 deletions were most commonly seen in p53 negative cancers, supporting their role as a cause for the p53 null phenotype in urothelial cancer. The association of 17p13 deletions with high grade and advanced pT stage may reflect increasing genomic instability going along with stage and grade progression.</p>","PeriodicalId":12700,"journal":{"name":"Genes, Chromosomes & Cancer","volume":"63 9","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-09-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/gcc.23271","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142320821","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

While <i>TERT</i> promoter mutations have been frequently associated with aggressive PTCs, the association of <i>BRAF</i><sup><i>V600E</i></sup> mutation with increased recurrence and mortality is less clear and has been controversially discussed. The aim of the present study was to analyze whether differentially expressed genes can predict <i>BRAF</i><sup><i>V600E</i></sup> mutations as well as <i>TERT</i> promoter mutations in PTCs. RNA sequencing identified a large number of differentially expressed genes between <i>BRAF</i><sup><i>V600E</i></sup> and <i>BRAF</i><sup><i>wildtype</i></sup> PTCs. Of those, <i>AHNAK2</i>, <i>DCSTAMP</i>, and <i>FN1</i> could be confirmed in a larger cohort (<i>n</i> = 91) to be significantly upregulated in <i>BRAF</i><sup><i>V600E</i></sup> mutant PTCs using quantitative RT-PCR. Moreover, individual PTC expression values of <i>DCSTAMP</i> and <i>FN1</i> were able to predict the <i>BRAF</i><sup><i>V600E</i></sup> mutation status with high sensitivity and specificity. The expression of <i>TERT</i> was detected in all PTCs harboring <i>TERT</i> promoter mutations and in 19% of PTCs without <i>TERT</i> promoter mutations. Tumors with both <i>TERT</i> expression and <i>TERT</i> promoter mutations were particularly associated with aggressive clinicopathological features and a shorter recurrence-free survival. Altogether, it will be interesting to explore the biological function of <i>AHNAK2</i>, <i>DCSTAMP</i>, and <i>FN1</i> in PTC in more detail. The analysis of their expression patterns could allow the characterization of PTC subtypes and thus enabling a more individualized surgical and medical treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":12700,"journal":{"name":"Genes, Chromosomes & Cancer","volume":"63 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1002/gcc.23256","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142080110","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Presumably, near-haploidization can arise through many mechanisms. This study aimed to identify gene rearrangements that could cause near-haploidization. We here present two UPS in which near-haploidization was an early event, identified through single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) array analysis. One of the cases was studied further using whole genome and transcriptome sequencing, as well as cytogenetic and molecular cytogenetic methods. Both tumors had chromosomal rearrangements in the form of copy number shifts/structural variants affecting the <i>SMC1A</i> gene. These findings suggest that cohesin defects could contribute to mitotic errors resulting in massive loss of chromosomes. <i>SMC1A</i> encodes one of the components of the cohesin multiprotein complex, which is critical for proper alignment of the sister chromatids during S-phase and separation to opposite spindle poles. Further studies should explore the role of cohesin defects in near-haploidization in other sarcomas and to clarify its role in tumor development.</p>\u0000 </div>","PeriodicalId":12700,"journal":{"name":"Genes, Chromosomes & Cancer","volume":"63 8","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141987733","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
