Expression of p53 Protein Associates with Anti-PD-L1 Treatment Response on Human-Derived Xenograft Model of GATA3/CR5/6-Negative Recurrent Nonmuscular Invasive Bladder Urothelial Carcinoma. Int J Mol Sci 2021; 22:9856. [PMID: 34576020 PMCID: PMC8465184 DOI: 10.3390/ijms22189856] [Citation(s) in RCA: 3] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/26/2021] [Revised: 09/07/2021] [Accepted: 09/09/2021] [Indexed: 11/26/2022] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND The possible involvement of p53 signaling, FGFR3 expression, and FGFR3 mutation rates in the prediction of the NMIBC anti-PD-L1 treatment response needs to be clarified. The main aim of our study was to explore predictive value of p53 expression, FGFR3 expression, and its gene mutation status for the therapeutic success of anti-PD-L1 treatment in the patient-derived murine model of recurrent high-PD-L1(+) GATA3(-)/CR5/6(-) high-grade and low-grade NMIBC. METHODS twenty lines of patient-derived xenografts (PDXs) of relapsed high-PD-L1(+) double-negative NMIBC were developed, of which 10 lines represented high-grade tumors and the other ones-low-grade bladder cancer. Acceptors of each grade-related branch received specific anti-PD-L1 antibodies. Animals' survival, tumor-doubling time, and remote metastasis were followed during the post-interventional period. PD-L1, GATA3, CR5/6, and p53 protein expressions in engrafted tumors were assessed by immunohistochemistry. The FGFR3 expression and FGFR3 mutations in codons 248 and 249 were detected by real-time polymerase chain reaction. RESULTS The expression of p53 protein is an independent factor affecting the animals' survival time [HR = 0.036, p = 0.031] of anti-PD-L1-treated mice with low-grade high-PD-L1(+) double-negative NMIBC PDX. The FGFR3 expression and FGFR3 mutation rate have no impact on the anti-PD-L1 treatment response in the interventional groups. CONCLUSIONS p53 expression may be considered as a prognostic factor for the anti-PD-L1 treatment efficacy of low-grade high-PD-L1-positive GATA3(-)/CR5/6(-)-relapsed noninvasive bladder cancer.

Abstract
Frequencies of two glucose transporter 1 (GLUT1) single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) (XbaI G>T and HaeIII T>C) were studied with urothelial cell carcinomas of the bladder (UCC) and 204 normal persons. And the expression of the p53, Ki67 and GLUT1 was assayed by immunohistochemistry. The frequency of the TT genotype and T allele of the XbaI G>T SNP was decreased in the patients with UCC. The frequency of the CC genotype and C allele of the HaeIII T>C SNP was decreased in the patients with UCC. The GLUT1 XbaI genotype GG was more frequent in higher tumor stage and higher tumor grade patients. In the XbaI G>T SNP, the GG genotype was significantly related to higher Remmele immunoreactive score (IRS) of Ki67 and higher IRS of GLUT1. In conclusion, the TT genotype in XbaI G>T SNP and CC genotype of HaeIII T>C SNP may have protective effect in the carcinogenesis process of UCC. In the XbaI G>T SNP, the GG genotype of was positively related to tumor proliferation, glucose metabolism, tumor grade and stage. Therefore, the variant might become a possible proliferation-related prognostic factor for UCC.

Assessment of the extent of unpublished studies in prognostic factor research: a systematic review of p53 immunohistochemistry in bladder cancer as an example. BMJ Open 2016; 6:e009972.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES When study groups fail to publish their results, a subsequent systematic review may come to incorrect conclusions when combining information only from published studies. p53 expression measured by immunohistochemistry is a potential prognostic factor in bladder cancer. Although numerous studies have been conducted, its role is still under debate. The assumption that unpublished studies too harbour evidence on this research topic leads to the question about the attributable effect when adding this information and comparing it with published data. Thus, the aim was to identify published and unpublished studies and to explore their differences potentially affecting the conclusion on its function as a prognostic biomarker. DESIGN Systematic review of published and unpublished studies assessing p53 in bladder cancer in Germany between 1993 and 2007. RESULTS The systematic search revealed 16 studies of which 11 (69%) have been published and 5 (31%) have not. Key reason for not publishing the results was a loss of interest of the investigators. There were no obviously larger differences between published and unpublished studies. However, a meaningful meta-analysis was not possible mainly due to the poor (ie, incomplete) reporting of study results. CONCLUSIONS Within this well-defined population of studies, we could provide empirical evidence for the failure of study groups to publish their results that was mainly caused by loss of interest. This fact may be coresponsible for the role of p53 as a prognostic factor still being unclear. We consider p53 and the restriction to studies in Germany as a specific example, but the critical issues are probably similar for other prognostic factors and other countries.

Abstract
Tumor markers Ki67, TP53, and TP63 are common labels in the diagnosis of bladder cancer (BCa) around the world. The combination of those biomarkers may have advantages in predicting BCa prognosis and non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer (NMIBC) postoperative recurrence. We investigated the immunohistochemical profiles of 313 bladder cancer samples classified under the WHO/ISUP (2004) grading scale and the UICC-TNM (2002) classification. Then we investigated their predictive value in the tumor recurrence of 270 NMIBC patients after TURBT. Expression of Ki67 correlates with grade, stage, tumor size, and tumor numbers. Semiquantitative evaluation of TP53 correlates with grade and invasive conditions. The positive expression rate of TP63 correlated with tumor grade and stage. The combined effect of TP53 and Ki67 revealed a predictive value in NMIBC recurrence. However, the positive TP63 expression did not show any protective effect in NMIBC recurrence. The expression of TP53 and Ki67 could be used to predict the risk of NMIBC recurrence postoperatively.

Abstract
Using the 1998 World Health Organization/International Society of Urological Pathology (WHO/ISUP) (2004 WHO), 1999 WHO/ISUP, and 1973 WHO classifications, we examined Ki67, BCL-2, TP53, and MDM-2 expressions in invasive and noninvasive urothelial neoplasias of the bladder of 72 patients, and compared the results regarding tumor category and grade with clinical outcome to determine the clinicopathological relevance of these classifications. Ki67 and TP53 expressions were correlated with tumor grades of the 1973 WHO classification, and they also distinguished "papillary urothelial neoplasm with low malignant potential" from other WHO/ISUP grades (p < 0.05). No difference was observed for Ki67 and TP53 expressions between the other WHO/ISUP grades (p > 0.05). Neither tumor grade nor tumor category correlated with MDM-2 or BCL-2 expressions (p > 0.05). WHO/ISUP classifications are obviously not superior to the 1973 WHO classification for grading urothelial neoplasia of the bladder. However, if the "papillary urothelial neoplasm with low malignant potential" is distinguished from grade 1 tumors of the 1973 WHO classification, more precise prognostic information may be obtained.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To determine the prognostic value of p53 gene mutations and P53 overexpression for predicting the incidence of recurrence, progression and long-term survival of patients with transitional cell carcinoma (TCC) of the bladder. METHODS Prospective cohort study with 94 consecutive patients diagnosed and treated for TCC. DNA was obtained from tumor tissue to perform PCR-SSCP of p53 exons 5-9, with automatic sequencing of any mutated samples. Immunohistochemistry using anti-human P53 monoclonal antibody was also performed. Survival was analyzed and the survival curves compared (Mantel-Haenszel). Lastly, a Cox proportional hazards model was constructed. RESULTS Mutations were found in 46.8% of samples, with 61.8% in infiltrating tumors. Exon 8 was involved in 42.3%. P53 overexpression (cutoff > or =20%) was found in 52.1%. Mean follow-up was 44.1 months; 43.6% had died by the end of this period. Mean survival was lower in patients with exon 8 mutations (38.4 months), compared with patients without this exon mutated (P = 0.016). There were no differences in patient survival based on positive or negative immunohistochemistry (cutoff > or =20%), although survival was lower in patients with a percentage higher than 50% of antibody-stained cells (P = 0.02). In the Cox analysis, tumor stage, pM stage, and interaction between stage > or =pT2 and mutated p53 gene were independent risk factors, with a 6.13-fold risk of death in these patients (P = 0.019). The number of tumors, nuclear grade, pTa stage, and the interaction between GI degree and nonmutated p53 gene remained in the Cox model for superficial tumors, such that these patients had a lower risk of recurrence or progression (P = 0.008). CONCLUSIONS Alterations in the p53 gene may be indicative of poorer prognosis and greater recurrence in patients with urothelial bladder tumor, in particular, the presence of mutations in exon 8 and a greater percentage of stained cells in the immunohistochemistry. Nevertheless, the classic prognostic factors (primarily, pTNM stage) should still be considered the most useful factors for follow-up of these patients.

Abstract
The present study aimed at detection of P53 gene mutations in cells of urinary bladder neoplasms, as the mutations may be regarded as an independent prognostic factor for progression and recurrence of tumours. In the study, 82 patients with clinically diagnosed urinary bladder tumour were included. The control was composed of DNA samples from urine and blood of 202 healthy patients. Exons 5-8 of the P53 gene were screened for mutations by using multitemperature single-strand conformational polymorphism (MSSCP) analysis. Samples with abnormal MSSCP patterns were subjected to direct sequencing. The frequency of mutations in exons 5-8 of the P53 gene in patients with bladder cancer was lower (3.3% in grade G1, 24% in G2, and 39% in G3) than the data reported in the literature. We found a higher percentage of polymorphism at codon 213 of the P53 gene in bladder cancer patients (6%), compared with the values in the reference group (2.5%). These results were matched with those of the loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis. In conclusion, mutations were found mainly in more advanced histopathological and clinical stages of the disease and at the CIS stage (carcinoma in situ). It cannot be excluded that the observed polymorphism at codon 213 may be a predisposing factor for urinary bladder carcinoma development.

Abstract
Multiplex FISH (UroVysion), Comparative Genomic Hybridization (CGH), and Multitemperature Single-Strand Conformation Polymorphism (MSSCP) were applied for non-invasive diagnosis and prognosis of bladder cancer. The UroVysion test was positive in 80% of patients with pT1 and in 100% of patients with either pT2 or pT3 tumours. Tumours with pT3T4 stages were characterized by high numbers of chromosomal imbalances, detected by CGH. The mutation of the p53 gene was detected in 16% of patients, but only in those with pT2 or pT3 tumours.

Abstract
Molecular studies on whole samples of fresh or frozen tissue do not take into account the heterogeneity of these tissues. In addition to normal cells, precursor lesions and different progression stages may be mixed within a given sample. Usually, the dominant cell population will determine the results and may sometimes mask biologically relevant abnormalities. To obtain more specific information and knowledge on changes within different cell compartments, many techniques have been developed that combine morphological observation and selection with different strategies for specific cell dissection. In this review, the most important micro-dissection methods are put into perspective, and some requirements and limitations are discussed with regard to sample fixation, staining, dissection and molecular analysis.

Abstract
Transitional cell bladder tumors (TCT) is prone to recurrence (60-80%) after tumor resection. Up to 25% of these patients will progress, so it is important to find reliable predictive markers. We analyzed for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) with respect to 13 microsatellites located on 10 different chromosomal arms. This analysis was performed on the urine sediment and tumor tissue from 59 patients with bladder TCT and on the urine and normal-looking mucosa from 25 patients with a history of bladder TCT but no evidence of disease at the time of the study inclusion. The median follow-up period was 23.1 months (range, 2-48 months) for the 59 patients with bladder TCT and 25 months (range, 4-57 months) for the 25 patients without evidence of ongoing active disease. Correlation between LOH and eventual recurrence, progression, and mortality was investigated. In patients with noninvasive TCT, correlation between 11p tumor tissue LOH and recurrence was found. Similarly, 8p LOH in both urine sediment and tumor tissue correlated with progression. Finally, in the group of patients with a history of bladder TCT, normal tissue 8p and/or 11p LOH correlated with recurrence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the prognostic and predictive value of molecular and immunohistochemical markers related to cell-cycle control in terms of recurrence, progression, and survival in urothelial neoplasms of the bladder (UNB). PATIENTS AND METHODS Clinical and pathological findings of 84 patients with UNB were assessed. Homozygous deletion (HD) and promoter methylation of p14ARF, p15INK4B, p16INK4A, loss of heterozygosity of the locus 9p21, p53 mutations, and immunohistochemical expression of p53, p16, p14, p21, p27, pRb, Ki67, MDM2, and cyclin D1 proteins were evaluated in relation to overall survival (OS), recurrence-free survival (RFS), and progression-free survival (PFS). RESULTS In the univariate analysis, RFS was shorter in cases with p14ARF (p=0.006), p15INK4B (p=0.003), p16INK4A (p=0.03) HD, low p14 immunoreactivity index (IRI) (p=0.01) and high Ki67 IRI (p=0.04); HD of the 9p21 locus genes and p14 IRI remained as independent prognostic factors for early UNB recurrence (p=0.006) whereas tumour stage (p=0.00001) and cyclin D1 IRI (p=0.049) were related to worse PFS in the multivariate analysis. In the univariate analysis, IRI for Ki67 (p=0.002), cyclin D1 (p=0.06), p53 (p=0.00008), p16 (p=0.02), p27 (p=0.0005) MDM2 (p=0.01) and p53 mutations (p=0.03) were related to poor OS, and only the Ki67 IRI retained their independent value in the multivariate analysis. CONCLUSION 9p21 HD and p14 IRI constitute independent predictive factors for UNB recurrence and cyclin D1 IRI and tumour stage for progression. In addition, Ki67 IRI and tumour stage are independent prognostic factors for overall survival in UNB.

Abstract
Clonality was tested in 86 tumours from 25 patients with recurrent and multifocal superficial bladder transitional cell carcinomas (TCCs) using the analysis of TP53 mutations and of LOH in the 17p13 and 9p21 regions. Tumours from the majority of individuals showed either absence or presence of the same TP53 mutation and/or an identical LOH pattern, with the same allele lost in all tumours. Only two pairs of tumours from two patients had discordant findings, which were incompatible with monoclonality. Therefore, our results rather support the monoclonal model of development of highly recurrent superficial bladder TCCs.

Abstract
p53 could help identify bladder tumour cases with a risk of progression from superficial to invasive disease. Semiautomatic, liquid-based cytology (LBC) techniques offer an opportunity to standardise molecular techniques. The aim of our study was to investigate whether LBC could improve p53 immunolabelling, and to assess whether urinary p53 could have a prognostic value. Immunoreactivity for p53 was studied in 198 urine samples after treatment with the Cytyc Thinprep® processor. After antigen retrieval, cells were labelled with a monoclonal antibody that recognises both wild-type and mutant form of the p53 protein (Clone DO-7, Dako), 1/1000. Positivity for p53 was assessed in 17.2% of the cases. High-grade (G3) tumours were positive in 74.1% of the cases. Comparatively, low-grade (G1–2) urothelial carcinomas were positive in 23.5% of the cases. During a median follow-up period of 26 months, recurrence was observed in 52.9% of the cases with p53 overexpression, and in only 10.9% of negative cases (P<0.001). The progression rate was 35.3% of p53-positive cases vs 5.5% of p53-negative cases (P<0.001). Progression-free survival was significantly shorter in patients with p53 accumulation (P=0.007). In a multivariate analysis stratified on grade and stage, p53 was an independent predictor of overall survival (P=0.042). The results show that using Thinprep® LBC, p53 immunolabelling of voided urothelial cells allows most high-grade tumours to be detected and may help identify cases with a higher risk of recurrence and progression.

Abstract
Early detection of a mutated p53 gene is thought to provide useful information in a wide range of human tumors. The aim of this study was to identify the role of the p53 gene in transitional cell carcinoma of the urinary tract. From March 1992 to July 2003, 75 patients (54 men and 21 women) with a mean age of 66.85 years and pathologically diagnosed transitional cell carcinoma were enrolled in this study. Fifty-eight patients had bladder cancer, eight had ureteral cancer, and nine had renal-pelvic cancer. Rapid screening for mutation of the p53 gene was performed using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), single-strand conformation polymorphism (SSCP), and sequencing analysis. Primer sets were designed to amplify fragments within exons 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 of the p53 gene. Pathology classified 37 tumors as low grade and 38 as high grade. Tumor stage was pT1 or less in 29 patients and at least pT2 in 46 patients. Of the 75 patients in this study, 47 (62.7%) had a p53 mutation. Of the patients with a p53 mutation, 33 (70.2%) had invasive tumors. Invasive tumors were associated with p53 mutation (p < 0.05). Noted in 20 patients (26.7%), exon 4 was the most common site of the mutation. Of the patients with exon 4 mutations, 15 (75%) had invasive tumors and nine (45%) had high-grade tumors. Additionally, among the 20 patients with a common polymorphism at codon 72, 16 (80%) had invasive tumors and 14 (70%) had high-grade tumors. In this study, 62.7% of patients with transitional cell carcinoma had a p53 mutation, suggesting that the p53 gene mutation may be used as a marker of transitional cell carcinoma. Invasive tumors are more likely to have a p53 gene mutation. A simple analysis of the p53 gene using PCR/SSCP is suitable for screening for p53 abnormalities in transitional cell carcinoma. The relationship between cancer risk and the codon 72 polymorphism of exon 4 needs further investigation.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to find the correlation between serum p53 and carcinoma of the bladder and to investigate whether serum p53 protein can be used as a tumor marker for p53 gene alteration. The study included patients with carcinoma of the bladder and controls. Serum p53 protein estimation was done with an ELISA kit. There were 23 patients with superficial and 17 with invasive carcinoma. The median serum p53 was 31.5 U/ml in superficial and 41 U/ml in invasive cancer. This was significantly higher than the mean value (16.4 U/ml) of controls. Serum p53 rises in patients with carcinoma of the bladder and correlates with the grade of the disease . It can therefore be used as a tumor marker for bladder cancer.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the expression of p53 and mdm2 and to determine whether they may be used as additional predictors of recurrence in superficial transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder. Paraffin sections of 80 patients with superficial transitional cell carcinoma of the bladder, who were treated with transurethral resection, were stained with p53 and mdm2 antibodies using the standard avidin biotin immunoperoxidase method. Nuclear staining for both p53 and mdm2 was calculated as the percentage of labeled nuclei out of a total number of tumor cells counted. The percentage of p53- and mdm2-positive cells showed a significant relationship with tumor grade and recurrence (p = 0.002 and p = 0.016; p = 0.01 and p = 0.003, respectively). In addition, a weak inverse relationship was found between p53 and mdm2 values (r = -0.184). p53 and mdm2 reactivities are valuable parameters in predicting recurrence in superficial bladder cancer. Thus, mdm2 expression appears to play a role in predicting biologic behavior in superficial transitional carcinoma of the bladder.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This study prospectively examines the prognostic role of p53 oncoprotein (p53), Ki67-antigen (Ki67), tumor angiogenesis (MVD), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and HER2 receptor protein (HER2) expression in Chinese with undifferentiated nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC). METHODS Seventy-eight Chinese were recruited from October 1995 to July 1997 at the Prince of Wales Hospital, Hong Kong. Pretreatment immunohistochemical preparations of the primary tumor were made, and clinical data were collected prospectively until October 30, 2000. The markers were correlated with overall survival (OS), disease-free survival (DFS), time to progression (TTP), and UICC stage. RESULTS On univariate analysis, EGFR expression correlated with poorer OS (p =.0001), DFS (p =.01), shorter TTP (p =.0001), and advanced T stage (p =.036). Strong EGFR expression, when compared with weak or moderate, was associated with poorer OS (p =.04) and shorter TTP in a subgroup of patients with UICC stage III-IV disease. HER2 expression was associated with advanced UICC stage (p =.006). The presence of p53 expression correlated with poorer DFS (p =.01) and a trend toward shorter TTP (p =.06). No correlation was found with Ki67-antigen or MVD. On multivariate analysis, only EGFR expression was significantly linked to shorter OS and TTP. CONCLUSIONS EGFR expression in undifferentiated NPC is associated with a poor clinical outcome. A prognostic role of p53 and HER2 expression is suggestive but not consistently defined in this study. The relatively high prevalence of positive staining for EGFR supports the use of molecular targeted therapy in this disease.

Abstract
PURPOSE Review the literature on tumor markers used for prognosis of transitional bladder cancer. The existing problems regarding grading and local staging of these tumors are also discussed. METHODS The published literature on transitional bladder cancer markers was identified using a Medline search and critically analysed. RESULTS There are significant interobserver differences in grading. There is a new grading system. There are also problems in local staging and low correlation between clinic stage and pathologic stage. Major tumor markers studied for prognosis of transitional bladder cancer are: flow cytometry, kariocytometric study, oncogenes (p53, bcl-2, Her2/Neu or c-erbB2), chromosomic alterations (chromosomes 9, 7 and 17), proliferation markers (Ki-67, MIB-1), cyclin-dependent kinases and its inhibitors (cyclin D1, cyclin E, p21Wafl, p27Kipl), vascular endothelial growth factor, other growth factors (fibroblastic, epidermal, hepatocyte, platelet-derived), metalloproteinases, cell adhesion molecules, and others. CONCLUSIONS At present, there are no prognostic markers for bladder cancer that are superior to conventional grading and staging, despite its imperfections. Standarization of assay methods in bladder tumor markers is needed to permit more conclusive and reproducible results and become a clinic tool. Controversy resulting from several studies make the meaning of some putative prognostic markers in transitional bladder cancer questionable.

Abstract
An international consultation on the diagnosis of non-invasive urothelial neoplasms was held in Ancona, Italy in May 2001. Besides histology and problems of classification, one group of experts (Committee no. 3) discussed the molecular pathology and cytometry of non-invasive urothelial carcinomas. In the following first part, special immunohistochemical and molecular markers for stratifications in bladder cancer were discussed including different cytokeratins (clone 34betaE12, CK 20), cell proliferation markers (Ki67/MIB-1, PCNA, AgNOR, DNA-cytometry), tumor suppressor genes and oncogenes (p53, p21, erb-B2, bcl-2), different receptor expressions of epidermal growth factor and vascular endothelial growth factor and others. These molecular markers were analyzed in diagnosis of urothelial carcinomas, recurrences, progression and response to treatment.

Abstract
PURPOSE To determine the molecular relationship between multiple tumors within one patient and to evaluate the impact of this knowledge on clinical management. PATIENTS AND METHODS In 25 consecutive patients with multiple tumors, proven by histology and immunohistochemistry to be identical, molecular aberrations were determined. Each patient had at least one lesion in the lung or head and neck region. Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and p53 aberration analyses were carried out, and similar aberration profiles suggest clonality and metastasis whereas different profiles suggest independent primary tumors. RESULTS The molecular determinations indicated that 12 patients had a probable second primary tumor and 10 patients had a metastasis of the first lesion. In three patients, both an independent primary tumor and a metastasis were present. The molecular findings determined the course of additional treatment in all 10 patients with metastases, in all three patients with both a second primary tumor and a metastasis, and in seven of 12 patients with a second primary tumor. CONCLUSION By comparing DNA alterations of multiple tumors within one patient, the relationship between the tumors can be assessed. This study shows that in 20 of 25 patients, knowledge of the nature of both lesions was essential in clinical decision making. Furthermore, after thorough analysis of the five cases where clinical decision making was not influenced, there was in retrospect no clear indication for LOH or p53 analysis. Because these molecular analyses can be performed on routine specimens, they can be applied in almost all patients.
