Abstract

We analyzed the p53 mutational status, mRNA and protein expression in 24 human breast carcinoma cell lines. Following measurement of their DNA content with flow cytometry, we ascertained the copy numbers of the centromere of chromosome 17 (cen17) and p53 with fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). A functional yeast assay (FASAY) was used to screen for inactivating mutations. Positive results were subsequently verified by DNA sequencing. Finally, we assessed the mRNA expression with a competitive reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) assay and the protein expression with immunocytochemical staining, western blot, and quantitative flow cytometry. The DNA content of the cell lines ranged from 0.85 to 2.58. Nine cell lines had concordant copy numbers (between two and four) of p53 and cen17, whereas 12 had more, and three less cen17 than p53 copies. The FASAY was successful in all but one cell line and revealed the presence of mutated alleles in 16 of them, 13 cell lines expressed only the mutated, and three both the mutated and the wild-type alleles. The mutations were comprised of 11 missense, two nonsense, and three frameshift mutations. Immunocytochemical staining, western blot and quantitative flow cytom...Continue Reading

Breast Cancer: Chemo-Resistance

Some cancers are difficult to treat and aggressive including the "triple-negative" breast cancer. This type of cancer is chemoresistant even before chemotherapy begins. Here are the latest discoveries chemo-resistance in breast cancer.
