Mutation of p53 with loss of heterozygosity in the osteosarcomatous component of a dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma

Abstract: We investigated a dedifferentiated chondrosarcoma of a 61-year-old woman with an osteosarcomatous high-grade component for p53 alteration. The low-grade cartilaginous and the high-grade osteosarcomatous components of the tumor were macrodissected and evaluated separately by immunohistochemistry and molecular biology. We used PCR-SSCP analysis and direct sequencing to screen exons 4-8 for p53 mutations. The p53 intron 1-polymorphism was investigated for loss of heterozygosity. A functionally relevant p53 missen… Show more

“…Recent genetic analyses revealed that p53 mutations were detected exclusively in dedifferentiated components. These evidences of a p53 mutation in the dedifferentiated component may be regarded as at least a cofactor that switched the pre-existing low-grade chondrosarcoma to a highly malignant dedifferentiated tumor [20,43,45,53].…”

“…There is increasing evidence that tumor suppressor gene mutations play a major role in the development, progression, and /or differentiation of tumors, with p53 mutations occurring frequently in the oncogenesis of various mesenchymal neoplasms [1,2,6,7,13,20,57,60,62]. This cell line has a p53 point mutation (exon 7,codon 242 [Cys→Ser]…”

“…Strong nuclear immunostaining has been observed in the highgrade non-cartilaginous component, but not in the lowgrade cartilaginous one [8][9][10]. In addition, point mutations of the p53 gene have been identified in the high-grade component of central DCS, and this has also been associated with LOH at 17p [8,[10][11][12]. In one case, a p53 mutation consisting of a 6-bp deletion starting at the second base of codon 250 in exon 7 was detected in both the cartilaginous and the anaplastic components [11].…”

“…There is increasing evidence that the tumor suppressor gene mutations play a major role in the development, progression, and/or differentiation of tumors, with p53 mutations and occurring frequently in the oncogenesis of various mesenchymal neoplasms (19)(20)(21)(22)(23). MS0812, in this case, did not show immunoreactivity for p53, the reason for this needs further study.…”
