Abstract:
We have identified new mutations in the p53 gene in 3/11 growth factor-independent and in 2/8 growth factor-dependent human acute myeloid leukemia (AML)-derived cell lines by single-strand conformational polymorphism (SSCP) and sequencing analysis. MEG-01 had a triplet deletion at codon 304; F-36P, NB-4 and MV4-11 showed point mutations at codon 344. F-36P had a second point mutation at codon 270 and NB-4 additionally at codon 319. M-MOK had a nucleotide substitution at codon 191. The frequency of p53 mutations in the cytokine-independent cell lines was comparable to that in the cytokine-dependent lines. These results suggest that loss of Wild type (wt) p53 is not the decisive event causing tumor cells to proliferate in vitro without externally added growth factors.
