Detecting p53 gene mutations and protein overexpression in tumors is crucial. This study found an 81% correlation between p53 gene alterations and flow cytometry results, aiding cancer diagnostics.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • p53 gene mutations are common in various cancers.
  • Mutations often lead to p53 protein stabilization and accumulation.
  • Existing data on p53 gene alterations and protein overexpression correlation is inconsistent.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To analyze the correlation between p53 gene alterations and protein expression.
  • To evaluate different methods for detecting p53 alterations and expression.
  • To establish a reliable method for assessing p53 status in tumors.

Main Methods:

  • p53 gene alterations detected using Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis (DGGE), Single-Strand Conformation Polymorphism (SSCP), and sequencing.
  • p53 protein expression analyzed by flow cytometry (FCM) and immunohistochemistry (IHC) using PAb 1801 antibody.

  • Study included 21 bladder tumors and 10 diverse tumor cell lines.

    • Main Results:

    • The best correlation (81%) was observed between p53 gene mutations and FCM results.
    • A dual FCM evaluation criterion (percentage of positive cells and "delta values") improved correlation.
    • "Delta values" were calculated as the difference between PAb 1801 stained cells and isotypic control.
    • This FCM approach showed high concordance with detected p53 gene mutations.

    Conclusions:

    • A validated FCM double criterion provides a reliable method for assessing p53 gene mutations.
    • This approach is suitable for large-scale tumor analysis.
    • Future multiparameter FCM analysis including p53 protein levels is recommended.
