Recently, several studies have reported that dysfunctions in protein phosphatase 2A (PP2A) caused by alterations in protein phosphatase 2 regulatory subunit A, alpha (PPP2R1A) are responsible for tumorigenesis and tumor progression in several types of cancers. The impact of PPP2R1A mutations remains unknown in gastrointestinal stromal tumors (GISTs), although mutations in KIT and PDGFRA, which result in constitutive activation of the receptor tyrosine kinase pathway, are important in GIST tumorigenesis. In this study, we performed mutation analysis of PPP2R1A to examine the frequency of PPP2R1A mutations and their clinicopathological correlation in 94 GIST cases. Additionally, we performed an in vitro analysis to investigate the effects of PPP2R1A mutations on cell proliferation and kinase phosphorylation in GIST cells. Seventeen GIST cases (18%) harbored mutations in PPP2R1A. All but one of these 17 cases harbored a KIT, PDGFRA, HRAS, NRAS, or KRAS mutation as the oncogenic driver mutation, and the remaining case was immunohistochemically negative for succinate dehydrogenase B (SDHB). Multivariate analysis showed that larger tumor size, higher mitotic rate, and PPP2R1A mutation are independent prognostic factors for overall survival; however, PPP2R1A mutation was not an independent prognostic factor for disease-free survival. The transduction of GIST cells with mutant PPP2R1A induced an
