The p53 and MDM2 genes were analyzed in 24 human soft tissue sarcomas (11 malignant fibrous histiocytomas and 13 liposarcomas). Al terations of p53, consisting of point mutations, deletions, or overexpression, were detected in one-third (8 of 24) of the sarcomas. MDM2 gene amplification was detected in another 8 tumors, but no tumor contained an alteration of both genes. Monoclonal antibodies reactive with the hu man MDM2 gene product were developed, and ¡mmunohistochemical analysis revealed nuclear localization and overexpression of MI1M2 in those tumors with amplified MDM2 genes. These data support the hy pothesis that p53 and MDM2 genetic alterations are alternative mecha nisms for inactivating the same regulatory pathway for suppressing cell growth.
