چکیده

BACKGROUND p53 plays a key role in the apoptotic event induced by chemotherapeutic agents. Mutation of p53 gene has been observed in various spontaneous tumors in humans and is associated with a poor prognosis. p53 abnormalities have been evaluated in several tumors in dogs; however, the association of p53 gene mutation with clinical outcome in dogs with lymphoma has not been documented. HYPOTHESIS/OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to examine p53 mutation in canine lymphoma cells and its association with the clinical outcome. ANIMALS Forty-three dogs with previously untreated high-grade lymphoma referred to the University of Tokyo were included in this study. METHODS Prospective cohort study. We examined p53 gene (exon 4-8) mutation in the tumor tissues from 43 dogs with lymphoma using PCR-SSCP (polymerase chain reaction-single-strand conformational polymorphism) analysis, followed by nucleotide sequencing of the abnormal bands. RESULTS Of the 43 dogs, 7 dogs (16%) had p53 mutation, whereas 36 dogs (84%) were devoid of p53 mutation. Overall response rate after remission induction was significantly lower (33% versus 88%, P = .002) in dogs with lymphomas having p53 mutation than those with lymphomas devoid of p53 mutation. Overall survival time was significantly shorter (67 days versus 264 days, P = .004) in dogs with lymphoma with p53 mutation than those with lymphoma retaining wild-type p53. CONCLUSION AND CLINICAL IMPORTANCE Mutations of p53 gene were detected in a proportion of canine lymphoma cells from untreated dogs and can be associated with a poor prognosis.

Study of pH influence on the stability of 175th codon of P53 genes by computational and modeling methods

P53 tumor suppressor gene, also known as “genome guardian” is mutated in more than half of allkind of cancers. In this study we have investigated the controls of environmental pH for P53 genemutation in point of specific sequence which is prone to mutagenesis. The most probable cancerousmutations occur as point mutations in exons 5-8 of P53 gene. The 175th codon of P53 is the thirdmost mutated ...
