PG - 594-9 AB - This study examined p53 gene alterations in human gastric mucosa, intestinal metaplasia and well-differentiated (cohesive type) adenocarcinomas to clarify to the role of the p53 gene in gastric tumorigenesis by means of fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), polymerase-chain-reaction-single-strand-conformation polymorphism (PCR-SSCP) and immunohistochemistry. Gene alterations were compared with numerical changes of chromosome 17. Samples were obtained from 31 surgically resected stomachs affected with gastric cancer. There was no nuclear p53 protein in cells from normal gastric mucosa. Among 23 specimens of intestinal metaplasia, cells with p53 protein were variably detected in 5 incomplete metaplasias (colonic type). A histological study revealed a mildly dysplastic appearance. PCR-SSCP identified p53-gene mutation in exons 5 and 8 in 2 of the 5 samples. Numerical aberrations of chromosome 17 and the p53 gene were undetectable both in normal mucosa and in intestinal metaplasia. Variable numbers of tumor cells contained p53 protein in 13 (54%) of 24 carcinomas, and PCR-SSCP revealed abnormal bands in 5 of them. Mutations were detected in exons 5, 7, 7, 7 and 8. FISH analysis demonstrated that 6 carcinomas emitted 3 or 4 signals for chromosome 17, and 7 gave one signal for the p53 gene in over 20% of the cells. Ten (77%) of 13 carcinomas examined by FISH appeared to show a p53-gene deletion. FAU - Gomyo, Y AU - Gomyo Y AD - First Department of Pathology, Faculty of Medicine, Tottori University, Japan.
