Relationship between anti-oncogene mutation and microsatelite instability in gastrointestinal stromal tumor / 国际外科学杂志

ABSTRACT

By now,the mutations of C-KIT gene and PDGFRA have been regarded as the most important primary incidences.The latest results have revealed the fact that the abnormal expressions of p53,p16,p21 WAF-1,p27 and E-cadherin(cDH1) which were labeled as anti-oncogenes in most of human tumors,existed in the progression of gastrointestinal stromal tumor.Therefore,we put forward the theory that gene mutaion may lead to the instability of DNA that further promotes mutation of short tandem repeat in anti-oncogene coding region,on basis of which,that finally lead to the malignant progession of gastrointestinal stromal tumor by anti-oncogene mutation.
