Abstract

Forty-one bronchogenic carcinomas were investigated for expression of MDM2 protein isoforms and their relationship to p53 protein levels and p53 gene alterations using molecular and immunohistochemical techniques. The findings were correlated with the pathological features of the carcinomas. MDM2 protein was overexpressed in 26 cases (63 percent). Western blot analysis with two monoclonal antibodies, 1B10 and IF2, revealed three MDM2 protein isoforms, p90, p57 and p76/74. p90 and p57 are capable of interacting with p53 protein, while p76/74 is not. Various patterns of MDM2 isoforms were seen. Although no correlation between the patterns and pathological features was observed, lymph node metastases were more frequent in the cases with MDM2 overexpression (P < 0.005). In 3 out of 17 specimens of normal lung tissue examined, there was a low level of expression of p90. Molecular analysis revealed that MDM2 overexpression was a consequence of increased transcription rather than MDM2 gene amplification. p53 protein was overexpressed in 21 cases (51 percent) and p53 gene alterations (mutations + allelic deletions) were detected in 23 patients (56 percent). A high degree of concordance (76 percent) between p53 mutations and p53 stainin...Continue Reading
