A population-based study of immunohistochemical detection of p53 alteration in bladder cancer

Abstract: The molecular pathology of bladder cancer has been the subject of considerable interest and mutation of the p53 gene, which has been associated with more invasive bladder cancer, has been widely studied. Further, there is evidence that p53 inactivation (either mutation or protein dysregulation), independent of stage, may be predictive of bladder cancer progression. In an effort to avoid possible biases associated with selection of more advanced cases, we examined p53 inactivation in a population-based study of… Show more

“…In our work, there was a striking difference between the proportion of mutations found and the proportion of p53 inactivation (Table I). The concordance rate (i.e., percent agreement) between mutation and IHC nuclear accumulation has been reported to vary markedly, i.e., from 7-90%, [29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38] but is generally between 65-75% across studies, including our own. 31 Interestingly, the pattern of some of these results tends to go in different directions depending upon whether one evaluates mutations or IHC.…”

The precise reason for this is unclear but could relate to the specific part of the gene inactivated, as our data suggest that the concordance rate is specific to certain exons.…”

“…It is recognized that p53 gene alteration is one of the important pathways leading to high-grade urothelial carcinoma with p53 immunohistochemical expression seen in 27.2-66% of urothelial carcinomas. 33,34 Based on our study, osteoclast-like giant-cell carcinomas of the urothelial tract should be considered as variants of urothelial carcinoma. Evidence to support this conclusion are: (1) the presence of keratin positivity in the majority of cases; (2) association with conventional urothelial carcinoma; and (3) matched p53 positivity in both the mononuclear cells and the accompanying urothelial neoplasm.…”

“…Owing to the high concordance rates for overall diagnosis (490%), we classified subjects based on the original pathologist's diagnosis; whereas tumour morphology, extent of disease and grade were based solely on the standardized histopathology re-review by the study pathologist. Immunohistochemical analysis of the tumours was carried out for TP53 using a monoclonal antibody (BioGenex, San Ramon, CA, USA), and scored for intensity and the percentage of tumour cells staining positively as markers of tumour severity, as the number of tumours having TP53 mutations increases with the degree of invasiveness of the tumour (Kelsey et al, 2004) and may represent an aetiologically distinct subgroup of tumours (Kelsey et al, 2005;Wallace et al, 2009). We obtained informed consent from each participant and all procedures and study materials were approved by the Committee for the Protection of Human Subjects at Dartmouth College.…”
