Bcl-2 protein expression associated with resistance to apoptosis in clear cell adenocarcinomas of the vagina and cervix expressing wild-type p53
Abstract Background: Clear cell adenocarcinomas (CCAs) of the vagina and cervix are rare tumors that often overexpress wild-type p53. In vitro, expression of protooncogene bcl-2 can block p53-mediated apoptosis. The objective of this study was to determine if bcl-2 is expressed in CCAs and whether t...

In vitro, expression of protooncogene bcl-2 can block p53-mediated apoptosis. The objective of this study was to determine if bcl-2 is expressed in CCAs and whether this expression is associated with inhibition of apoptosis. Methods: Twenty-one paraffin-embedded clear cell adenocarcinomas were immunohistochemically stained for bcl-2 (antibody M 887, Dako, Carpinteria, CA) and DNA fragmentation (Apop-Tag, Oncor, Gaithersburg, MD), a marker for apoptosis. Fifteen tumors were associated with in utero exposure to diethylstilbestrol (DES). Prior p53 gene analysis had indicated the presence of wild-type p53 in each tumor. Human lymphoid tissue containing bcl-2-expressing lymphocytes and DNase I-exposed CCA tissue sections were used as positive controls for the bcl-2 and apoptosis assays, respectively. Expression of bcl-2 and DNA fragmentation was classified (0 to 3+) according to percentage of positive cells and intensity of staining. Results: Expression of bcl-2 was identified in each CCA examined, and was strongly positive (2+ to 3+) in 18 of 21 samples. Despite the presence of wild-type p53, only 4 of 21 tumors showed evidence of apoptosis as assessed through DNA fragmentation. Conclusions: DNA damage leads to increased intracellular p53 levels. Overexpression of p53 induces apoptosis as a means of protecting organisms from the development of malignancy. CCAs of the vagina and cervix, which contain wild-type p53 genes and often overexpress p53 protein, presumably have evolved mechanisms to avoid p53-induced apoptosis. Our observations are consistent with the hypothesis that overexpression of bcl-2 can inhibit p53-mediated apoptosis and suggest a mechanism by which these rare tumors can arise without mutation of the p53 gene. | ||

Abstract Background: Clear cell adenocarcinomas (CCAs) of the vagina and cervix are rare tumors that often overexpress wild-type p53. In vitro, expression of protooncogene bcl-2 can block p53-mediated apoptosis. The objective of this study was to determine if bcl-2 is expressed in CCAs and whether this expression is associated with inhibition of apoptosis. Methods: Twenty-one paraffin-embedded clear cell adenocarcinomas were immunohistochemically stained for bcl-2 (antibody M 887, Dako, Carpinteria, CA) and DNA fragmentation (Apop-Tag, Oncor, Gaithersburg, MD), a marker for apoptosis. Fifteen tumors were associated with in utero exposure to diethylstilbestrol (DES). Prior p53 gene analysis had indicated the presence of wild-type p53 in each tumor. Human lymphoid tissue containing bcl-2-expressing lymphocytes and DNase I-exposed CCA tissue sections were used as positive controls for the bcl-2 and apoptosis assays, respectively. Expression of bcl-2 and DNA fragmentation was classified (0 to 3+) according to percentage of positive cells and intensity of staining. Results: Expression of bcl-2 was identified in each CCA examined, and was strongly positive (2+ to 3+) in 18 of 21 samples. Despite the presence of wild-type p53, only 4 of 21 tumors showed evidence of apoptosis as assessed through DNA fragmentation. Conclusions: DNA damage leads to increased intracellular p53 levels. Overexpression of p53 induces apoptosis as a means of protecting organisms from the development of malignancy. CCAs of the vagina and cervix, which contain wild-type p53 genes and often overexpress p53 protein, presumably have evolved mechanisms to avoid p53-induced apoptosis. Our observations are consistent with the hypothesis that overexpression of bcl-2 can inhibit p53-mediated apoptosis and suggest a mechanism by which these rare tumors can arise without mutation of the p53 gene. |
