Tissue analysis reveals early p53 mutations and DNA aneuploidy tracking histological progression in ulcerative colitis colectomy samples, indicating their utility for identifying cancer risk.

Key Points

To determine the timing and onset of p53 and Ki-ras mutations alongside DNA aneuploidy during histological progression toward colorectal carcinoma in chronic ulcerative colitis.
Analyzed 278 tissue samples obtained from 7 colectomy specimens from patients with long-standing ulcerative colitis.
Evaluated specimens using histological grading, flow cytometry for DNA content, and single-strand conformation polymorphism analysis for p53 and Ki-ras mutations.
Dysplasia was present in 22% (61/278) of samples, DNA aneuploidy in 43% (122/278), p53 mutations in 25% (71/278), and Ki-ras mutations in 4% (11/278).
Histological progression from low-grade dysplasia to carcinoma strongly correlated with both p53 mutations and DNA aneuploidy.
Ki-ras mutations occurred in 40% (2/5) of carcinomatous samples, establishing that p53 mutations represent an earlier genetic event than Ki-ras alterations in neoplastic transformation.
