The accumulation and persistence of somatic mutations in vivo.

Mutant frequencies at the native Dlb-1 and the lacI transgene reach a plateau within 1 week of mutagenesis in the small intestine of mice. This indicates that these mutations are selectively neutral and should accumulate additively. In a test with three mutagens, one potent (ethylnitrosourea) and two weak (1,2-dimethylhydrazine and methyl methanesulphonate), ten weekly treatments induced ten times the frequency of Dlb-1 mutations induced by a single treatment in each case, a result that is consistent with perfect additivity. These observations indicate that the mutation frequency at neutral loci will be an integrated measure of the effects of aging, endogenous mutagens, environmental mutagens and antimutagens. They suggest a simple protocol for transgenic mutation assays which would increase sensitivity, require fewer animals, and conform to standard toxicological practice.

Frameshift mutations at mononucleotide repeats in caspase-5 and other target genes in endometrial and gastrointestinal cancer of the microsatellite mutator phenotype.

The majority of tumors from hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer families and a subset of unselected gastrointestinal and endometrial tumors exhibit a microsatellite mutator phenotype (MMP) that leads to the accumulation of hundreds of thousands of clonal mutations in simple repeat sequences. The mutated genes with positive or negative roles in cell growth or survival in aneuploid gastrointestinal cancer (e.g., APC, K-ras, and p53) are less frequently mutated in near-diploid MMP gastrointestinal tumors. These tumors accumulate mutations in other genes, such as DNA mismatch repair hMSH3 and hMSH6, transforming growth factor-beta type II receptor, and BAX. All these genes carry, within their coding sequences, mononucleotide repeats that are preferred targets for the MMP. Endometrial carcinoma is the most common type of extracolonic neoplasia in the hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer syndrome, but the spectrum of its target cancer genes is not well characterized. Here, we report that endometrial cancer of the MMP also accumulates mutations in genes that are typically mutated in gastrointestinal cancer of the mutator pathway, including BAX (55%), hMSH3 (28%), and hMSH6 (17%). We also report the detection of frameshift mutations in caspase-5, a member of the caspase family of proteases that has an (A)10 repeat within its coding region, in MMP tumors of the endometrium, colon, and stomach (28, 62, and 44%, respectively). We therefore suggest caspase-5 as a new target gene in the microsatellite mutator pathway for cancer.

Pretumor progression: clonal evolution of human stem cell populations.

Multistep carcinogenesis through sequential cycles of mutation and clonal succession is usually described as tumor progression, or the clonal evolution of tumor cell populations. However, many mutations found in cancers are also compatible with normal appearing phenotypes and therefore genetic progression may precede tumor progression. To better characterize such pretumor progression (mutations in the absence of visible phenotypic changes), a quantitative model was developed that postulates most oncogenic cancer mutations first accumulate in normal appearing colon crypt niche stem cells. Each crypt contains multiple stem cells, and random niche stem cell loss with replacement eventually leads to the loss of all stem cell lineages except one. This niche succession or crypt clonal evolution is similar to the clonal succession of tumor progression except it does not require selection or change visible phenotype. Mutations may sequentially accumulate during stem cell clonal evolution either through drift (passenger mutations) or selection. To determine the feasibility of pretumor progression, mutation rates sufficient to recreate the epidemiology of colorectal cancer were estimated. Pretumor progression may completely substitute for visible tumor progression because it is theoretically possible for all cancer mutations to first accumulate in normal appearing colon with normal replication fidelity. Elevated mutation rates or tumorigenesis may be unnecessary for early progression.

Mutations associated with microsatellite unstable colorectal carcinomas exhibit widespread intratumoral heterogeneity.

Although microsatellite instability (MSI) has been shown to be present in 15% of sporadic colorectal carcinomas, the genetic events underlying the development of these tumors have not been well described. By investigating intratumoral heterogeneity, this study attempts to elucidate whether MSI-positive colorectal carcinomas develop as the result of a random accumulation of mutations or as an ordered, stepwise sequence of genetic alterations. Eighty-six regions from 16 MSI-positive sporadic colorectal carcinomas were examined for mutations in repeat nucleotide sequences of the tumour suppressor genes transforming growth factor beta type II receptor (TGFBRII), insulin-like growth factor II receptor (IGFIIR), and BAX, and the mismatch repair genes MSH3 and MSH6. At least 2 and up to 5 of these genes were mutated in each tumour, and widespread intratumoral heterogeneity was observed for each gene. Regions of tumour with TGFBRII mutations were correlated with a poorly differentiated histology. Unlike the situation in microsatellite stable colorectal carcinomas, the findings of the present study did not suggest that a particular sequence of tumour suppressor and mismatch repair genes are mutated during colorectal tumorigenesis. It seems likely that a random accumulation of mutations, as a result of a defect in the mismatch repair pathway, drives tumour progression in this type of colorectal carcinoma.

Patterns of mutation in cancer cells.

The discovery of powerful mutator phenotypes in a subset of colon cancers provides direct support for the hypothesis that destabilization of replication fidelity and repair drive the accumulation of mutations in tumour suppressor or proto-oncogenes. Nevertheless, many important questions remain. The tumour cell lines in which these mutator genes were characterized have many other mutations that may contribute to the mutator phenotype and the characteristic pattern of mutations found in these cells. Thus, mismatch repair deficiency may be necessary for the mutator phenotype, but is it sufficient? Certainly, changes in DNA replication fidelity or cell cycle checkpoint controls may contribute to the mutator phenotype. This question also has important implications for the effect of mismatch repair deficiency on tumour development. Does the mutator phenotype in HNPCC patients arise as a very early event resulting from the loss of the wild type allele or does it arise in later stages only after alterations of cell cycle controls or replication fidelity? Given that eukaryotic cells have numerous homologues of the mismatch repair genes, what are the roles of all these genes? Are these involved in the repair of very specific types of replication errors or do they have other roles in cells? Finally, what mechanisms underlie the accumulation of mutations in other types of tumours? Given the rapid progress made since the isolation of the human homologues of the E coli mismatch repair genes less than 3 years ago, we can look forward to the answers to many of these questions in the near future.

Evolution of the capsid protein genes of foot-and-mouth disease virus: antigenic variation without accumulation of amino acid substitutions over six decades.

The genetic diversification of foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) of serotype C over a 6-decade period was studied by comparing nucleotide sequences of the capsid protein-coding regions of viruses isolated in Europe, South America, and The Philippines. Phylogenetic trees were derived for VP1 and P1 (VP1, VP2, VP3, and VP4) RNAs by using the least-squares method. Confidence intervals of the derived phylogeny (significance levels of nodes and standard deviations of branch lengths) were placed by application of the bootstrap resampling method. These procedures defined six highly significant major evolutionary lineages and a complex network of sublines for the isolates from South America. In contrast, European isolates are considerably more homogeneous, probably because of the vaccine origin of several of them. The phylogenetic analysis suggests that FMDV CGC Ger/26 (one of the earliest FMDV isolates available) belonged to an evolutionary line which is now apparently extinct. Attempts to date the origin (ancestor) of the FMDVs analyzed met with considerable uncertainty, mainly owing to the stasis noted in European viruses. Remarkably, the evolution of the capsid genes of FMDV was essentially associated with linear accumulation of silent mutations but continuous accumulation of amino acid substitutions was not observed. Thus, the antigenic variation attained by FMDV type C over 6 decades was due to fluctuations among limited combinations of amino acid residues without net accumulation of amino acid replacements over time.

Progress toward the development of a genetically engineered attenuated hepatitis A virus vaccine.

Mutations which positively affect growth of hepatitis A virus in cell culture may negatively affect growth in vivo. Therefore, development of an attenuated vaccine for hepatitis A may require a careful balancing of mutations to produce a virus that will grow efficiently in cells suitable for vaccine production and still maintain a satisfactory level of attenuation in vivo. Since such a balance could be achieved most directly by genetic engineering, we are analyzing mutations that accumulated during serial passage of the HM-175 strain of hepatitis A virus in MRC-5 cell cultures in order to determine the relative importance of the mutations for growth in MRC-5 cells and for attenuation in susceptible primates. Chimeric viral genomes of the HM-175 strain were constructed from cDNA clones derived from a virulent virus and from two attenuated viruses adapted to growth in African green monkey kidney (AGMK) and MRC-5 cells, respectively. Viruses encoded by these chimeric genomes were recovered by in vitro or in vivo transfection and assessed for their ability to grow in cultured MRC-5 cells or to cause hepatitis in primates (tamarins). The only MRC-5-specific mutations that substantially increased the efficiency of growth in MRC-5 cells were a group of four mutations in the 5' noncoding (NC) region. These 5' NC mutations and a separate group of 5' NC mutations that accumulated during earlier passages of the HM-175 virus in primary AGMK cells appeared, independently and additively, to result in decreased biochemical evidence of hepatitis in tamarins. However, neither group of 5' NC mutations had a demonstrable effect on the extent of virus excretion or liver pathology in these animals.

Characterisation of p53 status at the gene, chromosomal and protein levels in oesophageal adenocarcinoma.

p53 mutations and loss of heterozygosity have been commonly associated with oesophageal adenocarcinoma. In this investigation, the p53 status of a Welsh population of Barrett's-associated oesophageal adenocarcinomas were fully characterised at the gene sequence, chromosomal, mRNA and protein levels. In total, 31 tumours were examined for p53 gene sequence mutations using RFLP with sequencing, allelic loss of the gene was characterised by FISH, mRNA expression by p53 pathway signalling arrays and protein levels by p53 immunohistochemistry. In all, 9.6% of adenocarcinomas harboured p53 mutations, 24% displayed p53 allelic loss and 83% exhibited p53 protein accumulation. Point mutations and deletions of the gene did not coexist within the same samples. All samples containing p53 mutations also displayed positive immunostaining; however; in the majority of cases, p53 protein accumulation developed in the absence of mutations. The gene expression analysis demonstrated no differences in p53 and mdm-2 transcription levels between the p53 immunonegative and immunopositive samples, indicating other mechanisms underlie the proteins' overexpression. In conclusion, p53 mutations and deletions do not appear to be frequent events in oesophageal adenocarcinomas; however, abnormal accumulation of the protein is present in a vast majority of cases. P53 gene mutations are not the primary cause of protein overexpression--an alternative mechanism is responsible for the positive p53 immunohistochemistry detected.

Cells resistant to HTI-286 do not overexpress P-glycoprotein but have reduced drug accumulation and a point mutation in alpha-tubulin.

HTI-286, a synthetic analogue of hemiasterlin, depolymerizes microtubules and is proposed to bind at the Vinca peptide site in tubulin. It has excellent in vivo antitumor activity in human xenograft models, including tumors that express P-glycoprotein, and is in phase II clinical evaluation. To identify potential mechanisms of resistance induced by HTI-286, KB-3-1 epidermoid carcinoma cells were exposed to increasing drug concentrations. When maintained in 4.0 nmol/L HTI-286, cells had 12-fold resistance to HTI-286. Cross-resistance was observed to other Vinca peptide-binding agents, including hemiasterlin A, dolastatin-10, and vinblastine (7- to 28-fold), and DNA-damaging drugs, including Adriamycin and mitoxantrone (16- to 57-fold), but minimal resistance was seen to taxanes, epothilones, or colchicine (1- to 4-fold). Resistance to HTI-286 was retained when KB-HTI-resistant cells were grown in athymic mice. Accumulation of [(3)H]HTI-286 was lower in cells selected in intermediate (2.5 nmol/L) and high (4.0 nmol/L) concentrations of HTI-286 compared with parental cells, whereas accumulation of [(14)C]paclitaxel was unchanged. Sodium azide treatment partially reversed low HTI-286 accumulation, suggesting involvement of an ATP-dependent drug pump. KB-HTI-resistant cells did not overexpress P-glycoprotein, breast cancer resistance protein (BCRP/ABCG2/MXR), MRP1, or MRP3. No mutations were found in the major beta-tubulin isoform. However, 4.0 nmol/L HTI-286-selected cells had a point mutation in alpha-tubulin that substitutes Ser for Ala(12) near the nonexchangeable GTP-binding site of alpha-tubulin. KB-HTI-resistant cells removed from drug became less resistant to HTI-286, no longer had low HTI-286 accumulation, and retained the Ala(12) mutation. These data suggest that HTI-286 resistance may be partially mediated by mutation of alpha-tubulin and by an ATP-binding cassette drug pump distinct from P-glycoprotein, ABCG2, MRP1, or MRP3.

Missense mutations in hMLH1 associated with colorectal cancer.

One of the most prevalent hereditary syndromes associated with colorectal cancer is hereditary nonpolyposis colorectal cancer (HNPCC). The inherited gene defects in HNPCC have been shown to reside in DNA mismatch repair genes, mostly hMSH2 or hMLH1. Most HNPCC patients are heterozygous with regard to the relevant mismatch repair gene; they have one normal and one mutated allele, and mismatch repair in normal somatic cells is functional. Cancer predisposition in HNPCC is believed to be associated with the loss of the wild-type allele in somatic cells, resulting in defective DNA mismatch repair. This gives rise to DNA microsatellite instability (MSI), an increased somatic mutation rate, and eventually, to the accumulation of mutations in genes involved in colorectal carcinogenesis. In support of this theory, colorectal tumors in HNPCC patients and in mice deficient for hMSH2 or hMLH1 show MSI. Here, we describe two missense mutations in hMLH1 exon 16 associated with colorectal cancer. Interestingly, the tumors do not show MSI. This raises some potentially important issues. First, even microsatellite-negative colorectal tumors can be associated with germline mutations and these will be missed if an MSI test is used to select patients for mutation screening. Second, the lack of MSI in these cases suggests that the mechanism involved in carcinogenesis could be different from that generally hypothesized.

Age- and sex-distribution of the mutation load.

We investigate the age and sex distribution of genetic fitness under mutation-selection balance by means of simple one-locus two-allele models. We find that the extent of age and sex variation in the mutation load is very dependent on the average effect of new mutations. If the average heterozygote selective effect of new mutations is large, then age and sex differences may constitute a significant fraction of the total load, and be significant as compared to standing genetic variation. Whether the mutation load will increase or decrease with age depends on the age- and sex-specific effects of the new mutations, and on the rate of accumulation of mutations in the germ line as individuals age. We argue that the load will most likely increase with age in animals with continuous germ-cell division throughout life, and that this will occur even when mutations have unconditionally deleterious effects. We show that a male-biased mutation rate is likely to result in both a male-biased mutation load and a load that increases with male age.

Chemically induced mutations in mitochondrial DNA of human cells: mutational spectrum of N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine.

We have observed a reproducible mitochondrial mutational spectrum in the MT1 human lymphoblastoid line treated with N-methyl-N'-nitro-N-nitrosoguanidine (MNNG). The MNNG spectrum was distinct from the spontaneous mutational spectrum. However, our ability to observe MNNG-induced mitochondrial mutations above the high level of accumulated spontaneous mutations was dependent on the MT1 phenotype. MT1 cells are markedly resistant to the cytotoxicity but not the mutagenicity of MNNG, presumably as a result of inactivation of both copies of the hMSH6 (GTBP) mismatch repair gene. Thus, we were able to use conditions of treatment that yielded induced mitochondrial mutant fractions beyond the practical limits for human cell experiments in mismatch-proficient human cell lines. In contradistinction, when MT1 cells were treated repeatedly with maximum tolerated concentrations of (+/-) anti-benzo(a)pyrene diol-epoxide, no induced mitochondrial mutations above the spontaneous background were observed. A single dose of 4 microM MNNG (survival, 0.85) induced a mutant fraction of 8 x 10(-3) in the nuclear hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyltrans. ferase gene, and a clear and reproducible pattern of seven MNNG-induced hotspot mutations was observed within the mitochondrial DNA target sequence studied (mitochondrial bp 10,030-10,130). All of the MNNG-induced hotspot mutations were G:C to A:T transitions present at frequencies between 6 x 10(-5) and 30 x 10(-5). Additional experiments supported the conclusion that MNNG-induced hotspot mutations observed were generated in living cells as a result of MNNG treatment and not from mismatch intermediates or DNA adducts converted into mutations during the PCR process.

Non-cystic solid-pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas showing nuclear accumulation and activating gene mutation of beta-catenin.

Solid-pseudopapillary tumor (SPT) is an unusual pancreatic neoplasm that is characterized by a mixture of solid and cystic components and a fibrous capsule. Recently, the tumorigenesis of SPT has been reported to be associated with gene mutations of beta-catenin, which is a molecule participating in the Wnt signaling pathway. Reported herein is the case of a 53-year-old woman with SPT. The tumor, approximately 3 cm in diameter in the pancreas body, had a clear margin and central calcification but had neither a cystic component nor fibrous capsule. Several lines of pathological findings in the surgically resected specimen indicated SPT: (i) pseudopapillary proliferation of eosinophilic polygonal cells with oval nuclei; (ii) positive expression of several marker molecules indicating differentiation into acinar and endocrine cells; and (iii) zymogen granule-like structures in the cytoplasm on electron microscopy. Further, the tumor cells had intense nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin and an activating mutation, (34)Gly(GGA) to Arg(AGA), in exon 3 of the beta-catenin gene, as previously reported in most SPT. These findings suggest that association of the beta-catenin phenotype with development of the rare phenotype of SPT, a non-cystic and unencapsulated tumor, is unlikely.

Chronically ultraviolet-exposed human skin shows a higher mutation frequency of mitochondrial DNA as compared to unexposed skin and the hematopoietic system.

Normal ageing processes are associated with an accumulation of mutations within the mitochondrial (mt) DNA. The most frequent mutation is a 4977 base pair (bp) deletion known as common deletion. In order to test the hypothesis that chronically sun-exposed skin is characterized by an increased mutation frequency of mtDNA, the mutation frequency of the common deletion between skin and another replicating tissue (the hematopoietic system) and chronically sun-exposed versus sun-protected skin was compared in the same individuals. This was done by comparing the amount of mutated mtDNA molecules with the whole mitochondrial genome in the same specimen with a semiquantitative polymerase chain reaction method, thus allowing direct comparison of different tissues. In all skin specimens the common deletion could be observed. In contrast only 3 of 10 blood samples revealed detectable amounts of the common deletion. Comparison of sun-exposed versus sun-protected skin exhibited a higher content of the common deletion in sun-exposed skin in 7 of 10 individuals. Additionally, a hitherto undescribed mtDNA mutation was detected exclusively in human skin. These studies indicate that exposure of human skin to solar radiation leads to an accumulation of mtDNA mutations, possibly via oxidative damage, which may play an important role in photoageing.

Preservation of duplicate genes by complementary, degenerative mutations.

The origin of organismal complexity is generally thought to be tightly coupled to the evolution of new gene functions arising subsequent to gene duplication. Under the classical model for the evolution of duplicate genes, one member of the duplicated pair usually degenerates within a few million years by accumulating deleterious mutations, while the other duplicate retains the original function. This model further predicts that on rare occasions, one duplicate may acquire a new adaptive function, resulting in the preservation of both members of the pair, one with the new function and the other retaining the old. However, empirical data suggest that a much greater proportion of gene duplicates is preserved than predicted by the classical model. Here we present a new conceptual framework for understanding the evolution of duplicate genes that may help explain this conundrum. Focusing on the regulatory complexity of eukaryotic genes, we show how complementary degenerative mutations in different regulatory elements of duplicated genes can facilitate the preservation of both duplicates, thereby increasing long-term opportunities for the evolution of new gene functions. The duplication-degeneration-complementation (DDC) model predicts that (1) degenerative mutations in regulatory elements can increase rather than reduce the probability of duplicate gene preservation and (2) the usual mechanism of duplicate gene preservation is the partitioning of ancestral functions rather than the evolution of new functions. We present several examples (including analysis of a new engrailed gene in zebrafish) that appear to be consistent with the DDC model, and we suggest several analytical and experimental approaches for determining whether the complementary loss of gene subfunctions or the acquisition of novel functions are likely to be the primary mechanisms for the preservation of gene duplicates. For a newly duplicated paralog, survival depends on the outcome of the race between entropic decay and chance acquisition of an advantageous regulatory mutation. Sidow 1996(p. 717) On one hand, it may fix an advantageous allele giving it a slightly different, and selectable, function from its original copy. This initial fixation provides substantial protection against future fixation of null mutations, allowing additional mutations to accumulate that refine functional differentiation. Alternatively, a duplicate locus can instead first fix a null allele, becoming a pseudogene. Walsh 1995 (p. 426) Duplicated genes persist only if mutations create new and essential protein functions, an event that is predicted to occur rarely. Nadeau and Sankoff 1997 (p. 1259) Thus overall, with complex metazoans, the major mechanism for retention of ancient gene duplicates would appear to have been the acquisition of novel expression sites for developmental genes, with its accompanying opportunity for new gene roles underlying the progressive extension of development itself.

An investigation of mutation as a function of age in humans.

An accumulation of mutations on their own or together with other age-related changes may contribute to aging and the development of age-related pathologies. The aim of this investigation was to assess the extent of DNA mutations as a function of age in humans. The mutant frequency (MF) at the hypoxanthine-guanine phosphoribosyl-transferase (hgprt) locus was assessed in lymphocytes isolated from male volunteers in each of three age groups (35-39, 50-54 and 65-69 years). Results show that the mean MF in the 65-69 years group was approximately twice that in the 35-39 and 50-54 years groups (4.1/10(6) cells, 1.9/10(6) cells and 1.79/10(6) cells, respectively) increasing by about 1.33% per year, after 54 years. In addition, there was an increased frequency of chromosomal aberrations in the 65-69 years group compared to the other two age groups. The results of this investigation show an increase in DNA mutations in cultured human lymphocytes with age. Factors which may influence the extent of DNA damage in human lymphocytes are discussed.

Age-associated increase of spontaneous mutant frequency and molecular nature of mutation in newborn and old lacZ-transgenic mouse.

Accumulation of mutation has long been hypothesized to be a cause of aging and contribute to many of the degenerative diseases, which appear in the senescent phase of life. To test this hypothesis, age-associated changes in spontaneous mutation in different tissues of the body as well as the molecular nature of such changes should be examined. This kind of approach has become feasible only lately with a development of new transgenic mice suitable for mutation assay. Here, using one of these transgenic mice harboring lacZ gene, we have shown that the age-associated increase in spontaneous mutant frequency is common to all tissues examined; spleen, liver, heart, brain, skin and testis, while the rates of increase in mutant frequency differed among the tissues. DNA sequencing of the 496 lacZ mutants recovered from the tissues of newborn and old mice has revealed that spectra of mutations are similar at the two age points with G:C to A:T transition at CpG site being a predominant type of mutation. Furthermore, some mutations in old tissues are complex type and not found in tissues of newborn mice. These results suggest that similar mechanisms may be operating for mutation induction in fetal and postnatal aging process. In addition, the appearance of complex types of mutations in the old tissues suggests a unique cause for these mutations in aging tissues.

Sequencing analysis of BRAF mutations in human cancers.

Cancers arise because of the accumulation of mutations in critical genes that alter normal programs of cell proliferation, differentiation, and death. The RAS-RAF-MEK-ERK-MAP kinase pathway mediates cellular responses to growth signals. RAS is mutated to an oncogenic form in approximately 15% of human cancer. The three RAF genes code for cytoplasmic serine/threonine kinases that are regulated by binding RAS. ARAF and c-RAF are infrequently mutated in human cancer. However, BRAF is mutated in a wide range of human cancers. Most mutations are within the kinase domain, with a single amino acid substitution (V600E) accounting for most mutations.
