Mutation of TP53 gene is involved in carcinogenesis of hepatic undifferentiated (embryonal) sarcoma of the adult, in contrast with Wnt or telomerase pathways: an immunohistochemical study of three cases with genomic relation in two cases.

Abstract:

BACKGROUND/AIMS:Hepatic undifferentiated (embryonal) sarcoma (HUS) is an exceptional hepatic malignant tumor in adults. Genetic studies were never reported in adult cases. METHODS:In this study concerning three cases of HUS occurring in adult, we studied the three classical ways of carcinogenesis i.e. the TP53 (p53), Wnt (CTNNB1/beta-catenin and AXIN1) and telomerase (hTERT) pathways. We studied the expression of p53, beta-catenin and telomerase catalytic subunit hTERT by immunohistochemistry in the three cases; we determined TP53 gene mutation in two cases and the genome-wide allelotype, AXIN1, and CTNNB1/beta-catenin gene mutation in one case. RESULTS:Immunohistochemistry showed an overexpression of p53 in more than 80% of tumoral cells; furthermore, mutations of TP53 were observed in two cases, involving the sequence-specific DNA binding domain. In contrast, no mutation was found in CTNNB1/beta-catenin and AXIN1 genes. Tumoral cells did not show hTERT staining nor nuclear expression of beta-catenin. In addition, allelotype analysis in one case showed loss of heterozygosity of chromosome 7p, 11p, 17p, 22q, and allelic imbalance of 1p, 8p, 20q. CONCLUSIONS:In this report of HUS in three adult patients, we emphasize the role of TP53 pathway in carcinogenesis of this rare tumor. This point could be of interest for therapeutic strategies.
