TP53 Mutation in Urinary Bladder Cancer

Tumor protein p53 (TP53) is a tumor suppressor gene and mutations in this gene are

found frequently in several human cancer including urinary bladder cancer. Strong

invasiveness and recurrence occur in about 25% of bladder cancer patients. Muscle-invasive

bladder cancer (MIBC) have worse prognosis when detected during diagnosis or treatment.

Non muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) primarily treated by TURB (Transurethral

resection of the bladder) whereas MIBC requires both surgery and chemotherapy for

treatment. TP53 mutations affect several target gene expression resulting transcriptional

activation or change in metabolism and cell cycle, senescence, apoptosis and complicated

cellular progression (Vousden & Prives, 2009). Mutations in TP53 and its related pathways

can act as driver mutations for bladder cancer. Mutant TP53 activate several mechanisms

relevant to cancer initiation, progression and poor outcome disease (Kim, Zhang & Lozano,

2015; Smith et al., 2002). Recently, Wu G et al., 2019 studied contribution of the TP53

mutation for progression to muscle-invasiveness by comparing MIBC (n=408) versus

NMIBC. They have observed mutations in 49.5% patients in MIBC as compare to 21% of

patients of NIMBC. Type of mutations include missense mutation (31.6%), truncation

(15.6%), deletion (2.2%), multiple(0.7%) and inframe (0.2%) mutations (Figure below). Even

though mutations are detected spanning all exons, highest frequency was observed in exon 7,

R248Q/W/G in MIBC and in exon 8, E285K/G in NMIBC. These mutations can be useful as

marker of muscle invasiveness. Other mutational analysis studies have shown point mutations

spanning exons 4-8 which includes R72P (58%), P67T (9%), A159P (0.7%), D185N (28%),

G199 V (0.7%), G199E (0.7%), D208N (0.7%), R283P (1.4%). These mutations were found

to be significantly associated with late stage (pT2-pT4) muscle-invasive bladder tumors.

TheTP53 mutation R72P is also known as functional single-nucleotide polymorphism

(SNP, rs1042522) at codon 72. TP53 codon 72 polymorphism has been linked to an

increased risk of breast cancer, cervical cancer, oesophageal cancer, gastric cancer, lung

cancer, and skin cancer. This polymorphism may affects the phenotypes or clinical

outcomes of bladder cancer but the underlying mechanism remains unknown. However,

three genotypes, Arg/Arg,Arg/Pro, and Pro/Pro, were found in 37% (38/103), 42%

(43/103), and 21% (22/103) of the patients, respectively in bladder cancer. Genetic

association yet to be studied. Prevalence of mutations in FGFR3 was significantly higher


inpatients with the Arg allele (41% vs 4.5%, p < 0.01). In contrast, the prevalence of

mutations in RAS was higher in patients without the Arg allele (41% vs 20%, p = 0.04)

Methodology

TP53 Gene: The TP53 gene sequence corresponds to (hg38) on chr17:7687599...7668459,

the genomic sequence NC_000017.11 (TP53 5'UTR to 3'UTR) and consists of 11 exons.

TP53 ORF corresponds exon 2 (aa1-25), 3 (aa26-32), 4 (aa 33-125), 5 (aa126-186), 6 (aa187-

224), 7 (aa225-260), 8 (aa126-186), 9 (aa307-331), 10 (aa332-367) and 11 (aa368-393).

Isolation of genomic DNA

For genomic DNA, biopsy tissue or from whole blood will be obtained from both

MIBC or NIMBC patients. Genomic DNA will be isolated in commercial kits such as

QIAamp whole blood/tissue nucleic acid kit using automated nucleic acid extraction system

qiasymphony or by manual method from tissues.

Amplification of TP53 exon and detection of tumor associated mutations and its
frequency
Detection of tumor associated somatic mutation will be carried out by direct
sequencing or by droplet digital PCR or by pyrosequencing using IARC TP53 specific
primer. These regions flanking exon 4, 7 and 8 will be amplified using exon specific PCR
primers as mentioned below:
