Aim of this study was verifying whether mucin producing colon cancers (CRCs) could develop through a molecular pathway involving microsatellite instability (MSI) and MUC gene alterations. Out of 49 CRCs expressing variable amounts of mucin, 22 (44.9%) were MSI-H and 5 (10.2%) were MSI-L. MUC genes were analyzed by Southern blotting and extra bands were evident in the Variable Number Tandem Repetition (VNTR) regions of MUC2 (5 cases) and MUC5AC (2 cases), but not MUC1 and MUC4 genes. Since the somatic VNTR abnormalities were detected in 6 MSI-H and in 1 MSI-L tumors, they seem to be peculiar of mismatch repair defective CRCs. Our finding suggests that alteration and/or loss of structurally normal MUC genes may be an important step in the neoplastic molecular pathway of a subset of CRCs and that mutations involving VNTR repetitive sequences may exist in MSI tumors as a direct and/or indirect consequence of an inefficient MMR system.
