3 Agenda Long history of HNPCC and mismatch repair system Microsatellite and it s instability Clinical implication of MSI Q&A

4 Colorectal cancer Sporadic colorectal cancer (CRC) Hereditary (familial) CRC Lynch et al., 2004

5 Colorectal cancer carcinogenesis Normal gland Adenoma Carcinoma Vogelstein et al., 2004; Vilar et al., 2010

6 Colorectal cancer carcinogenesis Important concept of CRC carcinogenesis - Multistep genetic alteration in accordance with pathologic alteration - Oncogene / Tumor suppressor gene - Chromosomal (structural) instability Vogelstein et al., 2004; Vilar et al., 2010

7 Earlier records on Hereditary Non- Polyposis Colon Cancer (HNPCC) Cancer Family G was described by Aldred Warthin in 1895 and reported in Henry T. Lynch described 2 Midwestern kindred's as having a cancer family syndrome in 1966.

9 HNPCC vs. sporadic colorectal cancer Autosomal dominant trait (familial) Mean age of diagnosis; 41 years Proximal location of splenic flexure; 68% More than one; 7% Less metastatic tendency (good prognosis) Extra-colonic cancer risk; stomach, endometrium, biliary system, urinary system Lynch et al., 1966, Myrho et al., 1997

10 Questions Polygenic or monogenic? AD trait à probable monogenic nature What causes HNPCC? à mapping and cloning of the possible gene

11 Genetic mapping Linkage analysis using 345 microsatellite markers à narrow down to D2S*** (Peltomaki et al., 1993)

12 Genetic mapping Z max at D2S123 with no recombination (Peltomaki et al., 1993)

13 Genetic mapping Microsatellite syntany around D2S123 11cM 14cM 5cM D2S119 D2S5 D2S123 D2S136 D2S5; Previously known as located at 2p15~16 (Peltomaki et al., 1993)

14 Genetic mapping Aaltonen et al., (1993) studied different families from those studied by Peltomaki et al., (1993). Linkage analysis using microsatellite markers and formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) normal and tumor tissues.

15 Genetic mapping Aaltonen s mapping result Not consistent LOD score!!! à genetic heterogenity of HNPCC families involved in his study? (Aaltonen et al., 1993)

16 Genetic mapping Aaltonen s unexpected results Wide spread alteration in short repeat DNA sequences, (CA) n dinucleotide repeat fragments (Aaltonen et al., 1993)

17 Genetic mapping Aaltonen s unexpected results Normal chromosomal structure (No chromosomal instability) 13% of non-familial (sporadic) CRC showed identical alteration in microsatellite sequences with preference to proximal (right-sided) location (later reports; 10~15% of sporadic CRC) ~existence of a gene on chromosome 2 which is neither an oncogene nor a tumor suppressor gene, but rather a gene leading to genomic instability ~ (cf. chromosomal instability in sporadic CRC) (Aaltonen et al., 1993)

18 ? Perspective from microbial geneticist Proof reading ~10-10 REAL WORLD Proof reading? Proof reading Base selection Replicative polymerases complex ; family A (e.g. T7 Pol), family B (e.g. T4 Pol, Pol δ, Pol ϵ) and family C (e.g. E. coli Pol III). Proofreading-defective derivatives (designated A, B, C, and RT, for viral reverse transcriptase) Kunkel TA, 2004

19 Earlier records on mismatch repair system Cloning of the hexa mismatch-repair gene of Streptococcus pneumoniae and identification of the product. (Martin et al., 1986) Nucleotide sequence of the hexa gene for DNA mismatch repair in Streptococcus pneumoniae and homology of hexa to muts of Escherichia coli and Salmonella typhimurium. (Priebe, S.D. et al. 1988)

20 Perspective from microbial geneticist Prokaryote mismatch repair (MMR) system E. coli Mut HLS pathway (Mut H, MutL, MutS + UveD(helicase II)) acting on recombination intermediate with mis-paired bases (Wagner et al., 1976) E. coli also has a long patch (~2Kb) excision repair system (Modrich et al., 1989) Eukaryote mismatch repair (MMR) system S. cerevisiae has MMR system (Holliday et al., 1964) MutS homology, MSH was identified and characterized (MSH2 by Reeman et al., 1992, MSH3 by New et al., 1993, MSH4 by Ross-McDonald et al., 1993) MutL homology, MLH1 & PMS1 by Kramer et al., 1981 Mutant msh2, pms1 or mlh1 increased rates of expansion and contraction of dinucleotide repeats (Strand et al., 1993)

24 Perspective from microbial geneticist Certain types of human hereditary and sporadic cancer show similar alteration in short repeat DNA sequences like in microbes (Aaltonen et al., 1993, Ionove et al., 1993, Thibodeu et al., 1993) possibility of existence of human homologous protein of MMR system

25 Perspective from microbial geneticist bacterial muts vs. yeast msh2 protein

26 Perspective from microbial geneticist Degenerate PCR strategy using total RNA RT template ---TGPNM F(ATV)TH(FY)----- TGPNM à ß FATH(FY) ß FTTH(FY) ß FVTH(FY) (Fishel et al., 1993)

44 Microsatellite General characteristics Comprise 3% of the human genome with more than one million loci Frequency; di->mono->tetra->tri- Single copy with length polymorphism Slightly higher mutation rate than other genomic area during replication Mostly located in intergenic and intronic area, a few cases in coding region (TGFbRII, IGFRII, Bax, E2F4, hmsh3, hmsh6 ) Application Forensic science/paternity test/linkage analysis (mapping)/population genetics (HNPCC screening)

45 Replication slippage If intact MMR restoration restoration Mismatch error is very rare but happens even in intact MMR system! Eg.) Meiosis (sperm); rare but happens! à polymorphism, disease

46 Replication slippage If defective MMR Higher rate of error during synthesis by Taq pol.(pcr reaction) à stutter bands of repeated DNA sequence Higher rate of error during cell division(mitosis) of cancer à MSI and global genomic instability

47 Definition of Microsatellite instability Definition of instability; aberrant peak in tumor, aberrant morphology in tumor, 5bp shift MSI is defined as a change of any length due to either insertion or deletion of repeating units, in a microsatellite within a tumor when compared to normal tissue.
