Cancer Genet 2021; 256-257:115-121. [PMID: 34111657 DOI: 10.1016/j.cancergen.2021.05.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/10/2021] [Revised: 05/18/2021] [Accepted: 05/21/2021] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
Keratoacanthoma (KA) is a common cutaneous neoplasm which often resembles typical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) in both its clinical and historical presentation. Several studies have attempted to identify methods for distinguishing between KA and SCC, however, none of these have proven to play any obvious roles in these tumors. Given this we went on to evaluate mitochondrial microsatellite instability (mtMSI) in KA and SCC in an effort to understand these tumors better. DNA was isolated from paired normal and tumoral tissues donated by 57 KA patients and 43 SCC patients. MtMSI was then analyzed using eight microsatellite markers and was observed in 2 (3.5%) of the 57 KA patients and 8 (18.6%) of the 43 SCC patients, respectively. MtMSI was also shown to affect different locations depending on tumor type. In KA patients, mtMSI was detected at mitochondrial D514 D-loop and presented with (CA) n repeats, in contrast, all of the SCC patient experienced mtMSI at the D310 with (C)n repeats of the D-loop region. These differences in location were found to be significant, which may support the hypothesis that KA and SCC have different pathogenetic pathways. Our results also suggest that mtMSI may be a candidate for developing novel differential diagnostic methods for KA and SCC.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Mitochondria is a powerhouse of all eukaryotic cells that have its own circular DNA (mtDNA) encoding various RNAs and proteins. Somatic perturbations of mtDNA are accumulating with age thus it is of great importance to uncover the main sources of mtDNA instability. Recent analyses demonstrated that somatic mtDNA deletions depend on imperfect repeats of various nature between distant mtDNA segments. However, till now there are no comprehensive databases annotating all types of imperfect repeats in numerous species with sequenced complete mitochondrial genome as well as there are no algorithms capable to call all types of imperfect repeats in circular mtDNA. RESULTS We implemented naïve algorithm of pattern recognition by analogy to standard dot-plot construction procedures allowing us to find both perfect and imperfect repeats of four main types: direct, inverted, mirror and complementary. Our algorithm is adapted to specific characteristics of mtDNA such as circularity and an excess of short repeats - it calls imperfect repeats starting from the length of 10 b.p. We constructed interactive web available database ImtRDB depositing perfect and imperfect repeats positions in mtDNAs of more than 3500 Vertebrate species. Additional tools, such as visualization of repeats within a genome, comparison of repeat densities among different genomes and a possibility to download all results make this database useful for many biologists. Our first analyses of the database demonstrated that mtDNA imperfect repeats (i) are usually short; (ii) associated with unfolded DNA structures; (iii) four types of repeats positively correlate with each other forming two equivalent pairs: direct and mirror versus inverted and complementary, with identical nucleotide content and similar distribution between species; (iv) abundance of repeats is negatively associated with GC content; (v) dinucleotides GC versus CG are overrepresented on light chain of mtDNA covered by repeats. CONCLUSIONS ImtRDB is available at http://bioinfodbs.kantiana.ru/ImtRDB/ . It is accompanied by the software calling all types of interspersed repeats with different level of degeneracy in circular DNA. This database and software can become a very useful tool in various areas of mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA research.

Abstract
Type I endometrial cancer (EC) is the most common form of EC, displaying less aggressive behavior than type II. The development of type I endometrial cancer is considered a multistep process, with slow progression from normal endometrium to hyperplasia, the premalignant form, and endometrial cancer as a result of an unopposed estrogenic stimulation. The role of mitochondria in type I EC tumor progression and prognosis is currently emerging. This review aims to explore mitochondrial alterations in this cancer and in endometrial hyperplasia focusing on mitochondrial DNA mutations, respiratory complex I deficiency, and the activation of mitochondrial quality control systems. A deeper understanding of altered mitochondrial pathways in type I EC could provide novel opportunities to discover new diagnostic and prognostic markers as well as potential therapeutic targets.

Abstract
Mitochondrial displacement loop (D-loop) is the hot spot for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) alterations which influence the generation of cellular reactive oxygen species. In the present study, we sequenced the entire mitochondrial D-loop region (1124 bp) of colorectal cancer (CRC) patients (n = 174) and controls (n = 170) of south Indian origin to identify significant mutations/polymorphisms. Our results showed 152 polymorphisms in the D-loop region of patients and/or controls. Polymorphisms were predominantly located in hypervariable region I (54.6%) than in II (45.4%) of D-loop region. The frequencies of 310'C' insertion (p = 0.0078), T16189C (p = 0.0097) variants and 310'C'ins/16189C haplotype (p = 0.0029) were significantly higher in cases than in controls. Furthermore, strong linkage disequilibrium was observed between nucleotide position 310 and 16189 in cases (D'=0.68) as compared with controls (D'=0.27). In conclusion, mitochondrial D-loop sequence alterations may constitute inherent risk factor for CRC.

Abstract
Mitochondrial displacement loop (D-loop) is a hot spot for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) alterations that effects cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Manganese-superoxide dismutase (Mn-SOD) is a major antioxidant enzyme that protects cells from ROS-mediated damage. In the present study, we investigated the relationship between sequence alterations of mitochondrial D-loop and Mn-SOD expression in colorectal cancer (CRC). Genotyping of entire mitochondrial D-loop (1124 bp) was carried out on mtDNA of analogous tumor and normal tissues from 35 CRC patients of south Indian origin by PCR-sequencing analysis. Tumor-specific large-scale mtDNA deletions and Mn-SOD expression was analyzed by PCR and Western blot analysis, respectively. We identified 87 polymorphisms in the D-loop region of tumor and/or control tissues. Polymorphisms were predominantly located in hypervariable region I (67.9 %) than in II (32.1 %) of D-loop. Significantly increased mtDNA microsatellite instability (mtMSI) [310'C' insertion (P = 0.00001) and T16189C (P = 0.0007)] and elevated Mn-SOD expression was observed in tumor tissues compared with controls. Interestingly, mtMSI was significantly high in tumors with Mn-SOD overexpression. Tumor-specific large-scale mtDNA deletions were not observed in CRC tissues. In conclusion, mtMSI and Mn-SOD overexpression are a common event in CRC. The analysis of mtMSI and/or Mn-SOD expression might help to identify patients at high risk for disease outcome, thereby helping to refine therapeutic decisions in CRC.

Abstract
Clinical value of mitochondrial DNA has been described in colorectal cancer (CRC). To clarify its role in colorectal carcinogenesis, mitochondrial microsatellite instability (mtMSI) and other markers were investigated in CRCs and their precancerous lesions, as a multitier genetic study. DNA was isolated from paired normal and tumoral tissues in 78 tubular adenomas (TAs), 34 serrated polyps (SPs), and 100 CRCs. mtMSI, nucleus microsatellite instability (nMSI), KRAS mutation, and BRAF mutation were investigated in these tumors and their statistical analysis was performed. mtMSI was found in 30% of CRCs and 21.4% of precancerous lesions. Mitochondrial copy number was higher in SPs than TAs and it was associated with mtMSI in low grade TAs. KRAS and BRAF mutations were mutually exclusive in TAs and SPs. CRCs with mtMSI showed shorter overall survival times than the patients without mtMSI. In CRCs without nMSI or BRAF mutation, mtMSI was a more accurate marker for predicting prognosis. The genetic change of mitochondrial DNA is an early and independent event in colorectal precancerous lesions and mtMSI and mitochondrial contents are associated with the tubular adenoma-carcinoma sequence, resulting in poor prognosis. This result suggested that the genetic change in mitochondrial DNA appears to be a possible prognosis marker in CRC.

Abstract
Background Mitochondrial displacement loop (D-loop) is the hot spot for mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) alterations which influence the generation of cellular reactive oxygen species (ROS). Association of D-loop alterations with breast cancer has been reported in few ethnic groups; however none of the reports were documented from Indian subcontinent. Methodology We screened the entire mitochondrial D-loop region (1124 bp) of breast cancer patients (n = 213) and controls (n = 207) of south Indian origin by PCR-sequencing analysis. Haplotype frequencies for significant loci, the standardized disequilibrium coefficient (D′) for pair-wise linkage disequilibrium (LD) were assessed by Haploview Software. Principal Findings We identified 7 novel mutations and 170 reported polymorphisms in the D-loop region of patients and/or controls. Polymorphisms were predominantly located in hypervariable region I (60%) than in II (30%) of D-loop region. The frequencies of 310‘C’ insertion (P = 0.018), T16189C (P = 0.0019) variants and 310‘C’ins/16189C (P = 0.00019) haplotype were significantly higher in cases than in controls. Furthermore, strong LD was observed between nucleotide position 310 and 16189 in controls (D′ = 0.49) as compared to patients (D′ = 0.14). Conclusions Mitochondrial D-loop alterations may constitute inherent risk factors for breast cancer development. The analysis of genetic alterations in the D-loop region might help to identify patients at high risk for bad progression, thereby helping to refine therapeutic decisions in breast cancer.

Abstract
A plethora of somatic mutations and germline variations in mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) have been increasingly reported in numerous cancer entities including osteosarcoma. However, it remains largely unclear whether mtDNA copy number changes occur during the multistep process of osteosarcoma carcinogenesis. For this purpose, we determined quantitative mtDNA levels in 31 primary osteosarcoma specimens and 5 normal bone tissue samples using a real-time polymerase chain reaction assay. Our data showed that the average mtDNA amount was significantly reduced in osteosarcoma tissues compared with normal bone controls. The copy number of mtDNA was statistically associated with tumor metastasis. There was an approximately 2-fold decrease of mtDNA quantity in tumors with metastasis than that in low-grade tumors without metastasis. Furthermore, change in mtDNA content was linked with somatic mutations in the D-loop regulatory region. Tumors carrying somatic D-loop mutations, at the polycytidine stretch between nucleotide positions 303 and 309 or close to the replication origin sites of the heavy strand, had significantly lowered mtDNA levels in comparison with those without mutations. Taken together, these results provide evidence for the first time that reduced mtDNA content may be critically implicated in the development and/or progression of osteosarcoma. Somatic D-loop mutation is likely one key factor among others leading to altered mtDNA amount in osteosarcoma.

Abstract
AIM: To investigate endoscopic and clinicopathologic characteristics of early gastric cancer (EGC) according to microsatellite instability phenotype.
METHODS: Data were retrospectively collected from a single tertiary referral center. Of 981 EGC patients surgically treated between December 2003 and October 2007, 73 consecutive EGC patients with two or more microsatellite instability (MSI) mutation [high MSI (MSI-H)] and 146 consecutive EGC patients with one or no MSI mutation (non-MSI-H) were selected. The endoscopic and clinicopathologic features were compared between the MSI-H and non-MSI-H EGC groups.
RESULTS: In terms of endoscopic characteristics, MSI-H EGCs more frequently presented with elevated pattern (OR 4.38, 95% CI: 2.40-8.01, P < 0.001), moderate-to-severe atrophy in the surrounding mucosa (OR 1.91, 95% CI: 1.05-3.47, P = 0.033), antral location (OR 3.99, 95% CI: 2.12-7.52, P < 0.001) and synchronous lesions, compared to non-MSI-H EGCs (OR 2.65, 95% CI: 1.16-6.07, P = 0.021). Other significant clinicopathologic characteristics of MSI-H EGC included predominance of female sex (OR 2.77, 95% CI: 1.53-4.99, P < 0.001), older age (> 70 years) (OR 3.30, 95% CI: 1.57-6.92, P = 0.002), better histologic differentiation (OR 2.35, 95% CI: 1.27-4.34, P = 0.007), intestinal type by Lauren classification (OR 2.34, 95% CI: 1.15-4.76, P = 0.019), absence of a signet ring cell component (OR 2.44, 95% CI: 1.02-5.86, P = 0.046), presence of mucinous component (OR 5.06, 95% CI: 1.27-20.17, P = 0.022), moderate-to-severe lymphoid stromal reaction (OR 3.95, 95% CI: 1.59-9.80, P = 0.003), and co-existing underlying adenoma (OR 2.66, 95% CI: 1.43-4.95, P = 0.002).
CONCLUSION: MSI-H EGC is associated with unique endoscopic and clinicopathologic characteristics including frequent presentation in protruded type, co-existing underlying adenoma, and synchronous lesions.

Number of somatic mutations in the mitochondrial D-loop region indicates poor prognosis in breast cancer, independent of TP53 mutation. ACTA ACUST UNITED AC 2010; 201:94-101. [PMID: 20682393 DOI: 10.1016/j.cancergencyto.2010.05.013] [Citation(s) in RCA: 16] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.1] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/24/2009] [Revised: 05/19/2010] [Accepted: 05/19/2010] [Indexed: 12/16/2022]
Abstract
The objective of this study was to investigate whether somatic mutations in the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) D-loop region correlate with known prognostic factors, namely, age, tumor size, lymph node status, metastasis, tumor-node-metastasis stage, lymphovascular invasion, and status of the progesterone receptor, estrogen receptor, ERBB2 (alias HER2/neu), and TP53 proteins (as determined by immunohistochemistry) and to investigate their relationship, if any, to TP53 mutations in human breast cancer. Thirty breast tumors without BRCA mutation, along with adjacent nontumorous tissues, were genotyped for the mtDNA D-loop region and for the promoter as well as the coding region of the TP53 gene. Clinicopathological parameters were recorded and assessed. In all, 17 somatic mtDNA D-loop mutations were identified, in 13 of 30 tumor samples (43%); two mutations were novel: 544C>T and 16510A>C. Four TP53 mutations were found in six tumor samples (20%), and two (c.437G>A and c.706T>C) were novel. Only progesterone receptor status correlated with the number of somatic mtDNA D-loop mutations (likelihood chi-square test; P < 0.05). Somatic mutations in the mtDNA D-loop and in TP53 were independent of each other (Fisher's exact test; P > 0.05). These results suggest that the number of somatic mtDNA D-loop mutations may be an indicator of poor prognosis through a mechanism independent of TP53.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Genetic instability in gastric cancer represents a key molecular step that occurs early in the carcinogenesis process. To clarify the role of genetic instability in the progression from gastric dysplasia to gastric cancer, mitochondrial microsatellite instability (mtMSI) was studied in gastric cancer and gastric dysplasia. METHODS DNA was isolated from paired normal and tumoral tissues in 24 patients with gastric dysplasia (low grade) and 49 patients with gastric cancer. mtMSI was analyzed using eight microsatellite markers. mtMSI in gastric dysplasia was studied prospectively to elucidate the relation between mtMSI and gastric carcinogenesis. RESULTS mtMSI was found in 5 (10.2%) of 49 gastric cancer patients. The mtMSI phenotype was not associated with age, gender, and Helicobacter pylori infection. However, all of the mtMSI was found in intestinal-type gastric cancer (20.8%, p=0.02). In gastric dysplasia, mtMSI was detected in 3 (12.5%) of 24 patients with gastric dysplasia. mtMSI-positive gastric dysplasia showed a poor prognosis statistically compared to mtMSI negative through progression to high-grade dysplasia or gastric cancer. CONCLUSIONS These data suggest that mtMSI may be an early and important event in the progression of gastric carcinogenesis, especially in intestinal-type gastric cancer.

Abstract
Hypoxia, one of the key tumor microenviromental factors, promotes genetic instability, which is the hallmark of human cancers. Many recent studies have demonstrated that hypoxia by itself can lead to conditions that elevate mutagenesis and inhibit the DNA repair process in cancer. The aim of this study was to investigate the cytogenetic damage and DNA repair functions in human peripheral lymphocytes exposed to hypoxia by means of sister chromatid exchange and nuclear and mitochondrial microsatellite instability (nMSI and mtMSI), respectively. Primary lymphocyte cultures obtained from blood samples of 40 healthy donors were exposed to hypoxia for 12 and 24 hours. Genomic DNA was then isolated from the fixed lymphocytes to analyze the DNA repair process by nMSI and mtMSI. The present results revealed gradual increases in SCE for both exposure times, compared to the controls, but there was no significant correlation between hypoxia and MSI. The SCE assay showed that hypoxia by itself may induce mutagenesis by causing DNA damage in normal cells. However, the DNA repair function through MSI analysis was intact.

Abstract
Endometrial carcinoma is the most commonly diagnosed gynaecological cancer in developed countries. Although the molecular genetics of this disease has been in the focus of many research laboratories for the last 20 years, relevant prognostic and diagnostic markers are still missing. At the same time mitochondrial DNA mutations have been reported in many types of cancer during the last two decades. It is therefore very likely that the mitochondrial genotype is one of the cancer susceptibility factors. To investigate the presence of mtDNA somatic mutations and distribution of inherited polymorphisms in endometrial adenocarcinoma patients we analyzed the D-loop sequence of cancer samples and their corresponding normal tissues and moreover performed mitochondrial haplogroup analysis. We detected 2 somatic mutation and increased incidence of mtDNA polymorphisms, in particular 16223C (80% patients, p = 0.005), 16126C (23%, p = 0.025) and 207A (19%, p = 0.027). Subsequent statistical analysis revealed that endometrial carcinoma population haplogroup distribution differs from the Polish population and that haplogroup H (with its defining polymorphism - C7028T) is strongly underrepresented (p = 0.003), therefore might be a cancer-protective factor. Our report supports the notion that mtDNA polymorphisms establish a specific genetic background for endometrial adenocarcinoma development and that mtDNA analysis may result in the development of new molecular tool for cancer detection.

Abstract
AIM: To explore the roles of nuclear microsatellite instability (nMSI) and mitochondrial microsatellite instability (mtMSI) in the pathogenesis of colorectal cancer and their relationship.
METHODS: mtMSI was detected by using direct sequencing analysis, and nMSI by microsatellite scan method. Relationship between the positive incidence of mtMSI and nMSI was analyzed.
RESULTS: Forty cases with colorectal cancers were studied for mtMSI and nMSI. The mtMSI in at least one locus was detected in 11 out of 40 (27.5%) cases. Out of the 11 cases with mtMSI, 9 showed mtMSI at one locus (17.5%) and 2 at 11 loci (5%), but none at more than three loci. The nMSI at BAT25, BAT26 were detected in 9 out of 40 (22.5%) cases. mtMSI was found not to be associated with sex, age, subsite or TNM stage (P > 0.05). mtMSI was significantly correlated with nMSI (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSION: mtMSI may be involved in the carcinogenesis of some colorectal cancer, and mtMSI is associated with nMSI.

Abstract
Somatic mutations of mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) are associated with various types of human cancer. To elucidate their role in gastric carcinogenesis, we analyzed mutations in the displacement loop region of mtDNA in 24 paraffin-embedded gastric intraepithelial neoplasias (formerly dysplasia) from a high gastric cancer risk area in northern Italy. Helicobacter pylori infection was assessed by histological examination (Giemsa staining). Gastritis was classified according to the guidelines of the Updated Sydney System. The mtDNA displacement loop region was amplified and sequenced from gastric intraepithelial neoplasia samples and adjacent non-neoplastic gastric mucosa. The gastric intraepithelial neoplasias were divided into two groups by their association with H. pylori gastritis. Group A with lesions arising on a background of H. pylori-positive gastritis contained 7 patients, and group B with lesions associated with H. pylori-negative gastritis contained 17 patients. Group A had a larger proportion of high-grade lesions than group B and showed a foveolar phenotype (type II dysplasia). Group B had a larger proportion of cases with mtDNA displacement loop region mutations than group A (P=0.004, Fisher's exact test) and exhibited an intestinal phenotype. No evidence of heteroplasmic variants in the mtDNA displacement loop, suggestive of mutations, was detected in gastric biopsies from 25 H. pylori-negative subjects and 60 cancer-unaffected H. pylori-positive patients. These results provide further evidence for the morphologic and mtDNA biomolecular differences of gastric intraepithelial neoplasias, and suggest the existence of two distinct pathways to gastric cancer--corpus-dominant H. pylori gastritis and the atrophy-metaplasia pathway.
