ABSTRACT
AIMS:
p53AIP1 is a potential mediator of p53-dependent apoptosis that is mutated in many kinds of carcinoma. To investigate the role of this gene for non-small cell lung cancer, we compared the relationship between p53AIP1 gene expression and clinicopathological status of lung cancer. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Seventy samples from non-small cell lung cancer patients were obtained between 1997 and 2003. For quantitative evaluation of RNA expression by polymerase chain reaction (PCR) we used the Taqman PCR methods. Exons 5-8 of the p53 gene were analysed using PCR-single-stranded conformation polymorphism and sequenced for mutation analysis.RESULTS:
p53AIP1 gene expression levels in the lymph node metastasis-positive group were significantly lower than in the negative group (positive 35.1+/-83.9; negative 64.2+/-113.4; P=0.0486). The overall survival of the p53AIP1 low expression group was significantly worse than that of the p53AIP1 high expression group (P=0.0206). In the multivariate Cox proportional hazard model, p53AIP1 (P=0.0489) was the independent predictor for overall survival. When we investigated mutation analyses of the p53 gene, we could find several point mutations in 15.7% of all samples. However, there was no relationship between p53AIP1 expression and p53 status.CONCLUSIONS:
These data suggest that the p53AIP1 gene is important for non-small cell lung cancer progression and may be a possible prognostic marker.
