Background/Aims:In long-term extensive ulcerative colitis, aneuploidy occurs earlier and loss of heterozygosity forp53(p53LOH) later during histological progression towards carcinoma. This study determined the time of onset ofp53mutation in this progression.Methods:We developed a rapid, sensitive screening assay forp53mutations at codon 248. The geographic distribution of thisp53mutation was mapped in two fresh colectomy specimens with mutations of codon 248 (1 cancer, 1 dysplasia) and correlated with patterns of clonal expansion, histological progression, and allelic loss. Numerous samples from throughout both colons were analyzed (216 for histology, 142 for DNA content, 104 for mutation, and 41 forp53LOH).Results: p53mutation correlated highly with histological grade and was distributed more extensively thanp53LOH. Mutation, but not LOH, was also found in diploid, nondysplastic colonic mucosa adjacent to dysplastic areas.Conclusions:These findings suggest thatp53mutation appears to be an early genetic event that precedesp53LOH. The very close correlation ofp53mutation with aneuploidy (P> 0.0001) emphasizes the role of normalp53at the G1checkpoint to help prevent entry of genetically damaged cells into the cell cycle.
