Frequent codeletion of p16/MTS1 and p15/MTS2 and genetic alterations in p16/MTS1 in pancreatic tumors

Gastroenterology

Abstract

Cell-cycle inhibitor and tumor-suppressor gene p16/MTS1 was found to be altered in a variety of human tumors. To directly investigate genetic alterations and expression of p16/MTS1 and p15/MTS2, this study surveyed pancreatic tumors. Cell-cycle inhibitors were analyzed for genetic alterations and expression by polymerase chain reaction, DNA sequencing, reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction, and Western blotting. The analysis of pancreatic adenocarcinoma (19 cell lines and 3 xenografts) for p16/MTS1 and p15/MTS2 revealed homozygous deletions in 10 of 22 cases (46%) (7 cell lines and 3 xenografts) involving both genes. We show in these 7 cell lines as well as in 3 additional cases (10 of 19[53%]) loss of p16/MTS1 transcripts and in 2 further cases (12 of 19 [63%]) mutations leading to the loss of p16 protein. The frequency of mutations in p16/MTS1 was 56% (5 of 9). In contrast to p16/MTS1, p15/MTS2 transcripts were obtained in all cases exhibiting the p15/MTS2 gene (54%). Loss of expression was not observed for p27 and p18. These results support that loss of p16 function could be involved in pancreatic cancer and may explain at least in part the aggressive behavior of this tumor type.

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
