Abstract
- Three putative prostate cancer-susceptibility genes, RNASEL/HPC1 at 1q24, MSR1 at 8p22, and ELAC2/HPC2 at 17p11, have recently been identified. Our objective was to investigate somatic mutations in these genes in sporadic prostate cancer. We analyzed 39 clinical prostate cancer specimens, 10 prostate cancer xenografts (LuCaP series), and 4 prostate cancer cell lines (LNCaP, DU145, PC-3, and MPC-3) for genetic changes using denaturing high-performance liquid chromatography and direct sequencing in order to screen the whole coding regions of RNASEL and MSR1, as well as exons 7 and 17 of ELAC2. The known 471delAAAG truncating mutation was found in the RNASEL gene in cell line LNCaP. The only new missense variation in RNASEL, Gly296Val, was found in cell line DU145, but not in any other samples. RNASEL and ELAC2 also showed the common missense polymorphic changes. A previously reported truncating mutation (Arg293X) was found in MSR1 in the germ line of one individual. Our results indicate that inactivation of the RNASEL, ELAC2, or MSR1 genes by somatic mutation is a rare phenomenon in sporadic prostate cancer.
