BACKGROUND TGF-beta type II receptor (TGF-beta RII) mutations associated with microsatellite instability(MSI) are characteristically frameshift mutations within a 10 bp poly-A tract. These frameshift mutations have been reported to be common in colorectal and gastric cancers with MSI, though, rarely reported in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). MATERIALS AND METHOD In this study, we analysed MSI and TGF-beta RII frameshift mutations in 7 NSCLC cell lines and 21 surgically resected NSCLC tissues. Determination of MSI in NSCLC was performed using primer sets for BAT-25, BAT-26 and BAT-40. In order to examine the presence of the frameshift mutations of TGF-beta RII in samples with MSI, sequencing for TGF-beta RII poly-A tract was performed. RESULTS MSI was observed in 5 out of 7 NSCLC cell lines and 3 out of 21 NSCLC tissues. Six out of 8 samples with MSI(75%) showed frameshift mutations in TGF-beta RII poly-A tract. CONCLUSION These results suggest that MSI is highly associated with TGF-beta RII frameshift mutations in NSCLC and further support the hypothesis that TGF-beta RII plays an important role in NSCLC carcinogenesis.
