We have analysed five mutation hotspots within the p53 gene (codons 175, 213, 248, 249, and 282) for mutations induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), employing the restriction site mutation (RSM) assay. In addition, four other restriction sites covering non-hotspot codons of exons 5-9 of the p53 gene (codons 126, 153/54, 189 and the 3 ' splice site of exon 9) were analysed by the RSM assay for H2O2-induced mutations. Two cell types were concurrently analysed in this study, i.e. primary fibroblast cells and a gastric cancer cell line. Using the RSM assay, H2O2-induced mutations were only detected in exon 7 of the p53 gene. This was true for both cell types. These mutations were mainly induced in the Msp I restriction site (codon 247/248) and were predominantly GC to AT transitions (71%). Hence these GC to AT mutations were presumably due to H2O2 exposure, possibly implicating the 50HdC adduct, which is known to induce C to T mutations upon misreplication. Importantly, this study demonstrates that the RSM methodology is capable of detecting rare oxidative mutations within the hotspot codons of the p53 tumour suppressor gene. Hence, this methodology may allow the detection of early p53 mutations in pre-malignant tissues. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
