Ku70 and Ku80 proteins take part in the repairing of DNA double-strand breaks by their function as a regulatory subunit of the DNA-dependent protein kinase. In this study, expression of both genes was analyzed in colorectal carcinoma tissue arrays applying immunohistochemistry. Expression of both genes decreased along with pT stage. Significant differences in Ku70 and Ku80 expression were found between pT3 and pT4 as well as between pT2 and pT3 tumors, respectively. Loss of Ku70/Ku80 expression was more frequently observed in hereditary than in sporadic tumors. We conclude that expression of Ku70/Ku80 genes is down-regulated in colorectal carcinoma and that defects of these genes are more frequently observed in hereditary than in sporadic tumors. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Experimental data suggest that exposure to ultraviolet radiation may indirectly induce DNA double-strand breaks. AIM: To investigate the contribution of the non-homologous end-joining repair pathway in basal and squamous cell carcinomas. METHODS: Levels of Ku70 and Ku80 proteins were determined by immunohistochemical analysis and Ku70-Ku80 heterodimer-binding activity by electrophoretic mobility shift assay. Matched pathological normal margins and skin from healthy people were used as controls. RESULTS: A significant increase in Ku70 and Ku80 protein levels was found for both tumour types as compared with normal skin (p<0.001). Squamous cell carcinoma showed increased immunostaining as compared with basal cell tumours (p<0.02). A direct correlation was found between Ku70 and Ku80 protein levels and expression of the proliferation markers Ki-67/MIB-1 (p<0.02 and p<0.002, respectively) in basal cell carcinoma. DNA binding activity was increased in basal cell carcinoma samples as compared with matched skin histopathologically negative for cancer (p<0.006). In squamous cell carcinomas, however, the difference was significant only with normal skin (p<0.02) and not with matched pathologically normal margins. CONCLUSIONS: Overall, an up regulation of the Ku70 and Ku80 protein levels seems to correlate only with tumour proliferation rate. As non-homologous end joining is an error-prone mechanism, its up regulation may ultimately increase genomic instability, contributing to tumour progression. 相似文献

As enhanced chromosomal radiosensitivity (CRS) results from non- or misrepaired double strand breaks (DSBs) and is a hallmark for breast cancer and single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) in DSB repair genes, such as non homologous end-joining (NHEJ) genes, could be involved in CRS and genetic predisposition to breast cancer. In this study, we investigated the association of five SNPs in three different NHEJ genes with breast cancer in a population-based case-control setting. The total patient population composed of a selected group of patients with a family history of the disease and an unselected group, consisting mainly of sporadic cases. SNP analysis showed that the c.2099-2408G>A SNP (XRCC5Ku80) [corrected] has a significant, positive odds ratio (OR) of 2.81 (95% confidence interval (CI): 1.30-6.05) for the heterozygous (He) and homozygous variant (HV) genotypes in the selected patient group. For the c.-1310 C>G SNP (XRCC6Ku70)[corrected] a significant OR of 1.85 (95%CI: 1.01-3.41) was found for the He genotype in the unselected patient group. On the contrary, the HV genotype of c.1781G>T (XRCC6Ku70) [corrected] displays a significant, negative OR of 0.43 (95%CI: 0.18-0.99) in the total patient population. The He+HV genotypes of the c.2099-2408G>A SNP (XRCC5Ku80) [corrected] also showed high and significant ORs in the group of "radiosensitive," familial breast cancer patients. In conclusion, our results provide preliminary evidence that the variant allele of c.-1310C>G (XRCC6Ku70) [corrected]and c.2099-2408G>A (XRCC5Ku80) [corrected] are risk alleles for breast cancer as well as CRS. The HV genotype of c.1781G>T (XRCC6Ku70) [corrected] on the contrary, seems to protect against breast cancer and ionizing radiation induced micronuclei. 相似文献

Ku70 and Ku80 proteins are responsible for the repair of DNA double-strand breaks and function as a regulatory subunit of the DNA-dependent protein kinase. In this study we analyzed expression of both genes in malignant melanoma tissue arrays applying in situ hybridization probes produced by our research group and using immunohistochemical analysis. Expression of both genes was down-regulated as melanoma progressed. In situ hybridization demonstrated more Ku70- and Ku80-positive cells than immunohistochemical methods, but the correlation between the two methods was highly significant (P <0.01). We conclude that the in situ hybridization assay for the detection of Ku70 and Ku80 expression used in this study is also suitable for tissue microarray analysis of paraffin-embedded melanoma samples. The laboratory procedure is much more complicated than the immunohistochemical method, however. 相似文献

The retinoblastoma gene is a cell cycle regulator preventing cells from entering into S-phase. An altered expression of the retinoblastoma gene has been reported in the majority of human malignancies. The main aim of this study was to investigate retinoblastoma gene expression in the full spectrum of melanoma progression from naevus to melanoma metastases by applying immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR. All naevi with and without dysplasia showed high expression of the retinoblastoma gene. In primary melanomas, Rb-positive cells were found in 82 out of 106. Loss of expression correlated with an increase in Clark level and shorter survival rates. An independent prognostic role of the retinoblastoma gene was confirmed by Cox multivariate analyses (p < 0.01). In melanoma metastases, retinoblastoma gene expression (at the RNA level) was found in 18 out of 26 melanoma lymphatic metastases, and in 2 out of 5 liver metastases. Our results indicate a downregulation of the retinoblastoma gene in the progression of melanocytic tumours. 相似文献

Homologous recombination (HR) and nonhomologous end-joining (NHEJ) are mechanistically distinct DNA repair pathways that contribute substantially to double-strand break (DSB) repair in mammalian cells. We have combined mutations in factors from both repair pathways, the HR protein Rad54 and the DNA-end-binding factor Ku80, which has a role in NHEJ. Rad54(-/-)Ku80(-/-) mice were severely compromised in their survival, such that fewer double mutants were born than expected, and only a small proportion of those born reached adulthood. However, double-mutant mice died at lower frequency from tumors than Ku80 single mutant mice, likely as a result of rapid demise at a young age from other causes. When challenged with an exogenous DNA damaging agent, ionizing radiation, double-mutant mice were exquisitely sensitive to low doses. Tissues and cells from double-mutant mice also showed indications of spontaneous DNA damage. Testes from some Rad54(-/-)Ku80(-/-) mice displayed enhanced apoptosis and reduced sperm production, and embryonic fibroblasts from Rad54(-/-)Ku80(-/-) animals accumulated foci of gamma-H2AX, a marker for DSBs. The substantially increased DNA damage response in the double mutants implies a cooperation of the two DSB repair pathways for survival and genomic integrity in the animal. 相似文献

Cutaneous melanoma is an aggressive cancer derived from skin melanocytes. Tissue microarrays are being used to evaluate the roles of numerous proteins implicated in some of the pathways involved in melanoma pathogenesis. Based on a previous study using a complementary DNA microarray platform, the aim of this study was to evaluate the immunohistochemical expression of the adhesion and communication molecules connexin 43, desmocollin 3, cytokeratin 5, kallikrein 6, and kallikrein 7 in a melanoma progression model. We analyzed 59 common nevi, 22 atypical nevi, and 162 invasive and 29 metastatic melanomas on tissue microarrays using digital microscopy. The expression of desmocollin 3 and connexin 43 was higher in melanomas (P < .001). Kallikrein 6 expression was higher in melanomas than in common nevi (P < .006). The expression of cytokeratin 5 and kallikrein 7 was higher in atypical nevi than in melanomas (P < .001) and was higher in melanomas than in common nevi (P < .001). The expression of desmocollin 3 and connexin 43 in melanomas indicates loss of cell-cell interactions, which starts in the early steps of the melanoma progression model. Keratin expression in melanomas may play a particular role during melanocyte development. The expression of kallikrein 7 and kallikrein 6 in melanomas may be responsible for the loss of cell-cell adhesion. 相似文献

Abnormal expression of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) molecules in melanoma has been reported previously. However, the MHC molecule expression patterns in different growth phases of melanoma and the underlying mechanisms are not well understood. Here, we demonstrate that in vertical growth phase (VGP) melanomas, MHC genes are subject to increased rates of DNA copy number gains, accompanied by increased expression, in comparison to normal melanocytes. In contrast, MHC expression in metastatic melanomas drastically decreased compared to VGP melanomas, despite still prevalent DNA copy number gains. Subsequent investigations found that the master transactivator of MHC genes, CIITA, was also significantly downregulated in metastatic melanomas when compared to VGP melanomas. This could be one of the mechanisms accounting for the discrepancy between DNA copy number and expression level in metastatic melanomas, a potentially separate mechanism of gene regulation. These results infer a dynamic role of MHC function in melanoma progression. We propose potential mechanisms for the overexpression of MHC molecules in earlier stages of melanoma as well as for its downregulation in metastatic melanomas. © 2009 Wiley‐Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Aims: Elevated expression of DNA repair and replication genes has been reported in thick, non‐fixed primary melanomas that subsequently went on to metastasize, when compared to non‐recurrent primary tumours. This increased expression could contribute to the extreme resistance shown by melanoma to DNA‐damaging chemotherapeutics. We have investigated the hypothesis that levels of key DNA repair and replication proteins are prognostic biomarkers in melanoma. Methods and results: We used a tissue microarray containing samples from all stages of melanomagenesis to investigate the hypothesis that levels of key DNA repair and replication proteins are prognostic biomarkers in a larger, more representative and readily available set of fixed primary melanomas. High expression of topoisomerase IIα (TOP2A), that relieves torsional stress during DNA replication, and XRCC5 (Ku80), required for DNA double‐strand break repair, were associated with significantly worse survival. Conclusions: Two (XRCC5 and TOP2A) of seven DNA repair and replication proteins studied were prognostic for melanoma. 相似文献
