Abstract BACKGROUND:Wild type p53-induced phosphatase 1 (Wip1), encoded by the protein phosphatase magnesium dependent 1 delta (PPM1D), inhibits p53. PPM1D amplification has been reported in breast cancer. Bre...ast cancer can sometimes develop without a tumor protein 53 (TP53) mutation. In these cases, the p53 pathway might be disrupted by alternative mechanisms, and Wip1 is reported to be a key molecule involved.
MATERIALS AND METHODS:Primary invasive ductal carcinoma specimens were obtained from 201 cases, for which archival tissue samples for immunohistochemistry were available. We evaluated Wip1 and p21 protein expression (201 cases), Wip1 mRNA expression (63 cases), PPM1D DNA copy number (71 cases) and TP53 status (36 cases) using available samples among the 201 cases, and analyzed their relationships with clinicopathological factors and prognosis.
RESULTS:The nuclear expression of Wip1 protein was positive in 21 cases (10.4%). The PPM1D DNA copy number was significantly correlated with Wip1 protein expression. All cases with PPM1D amplification by single-nucleotide polymorphism comparative genomic hybridization array showed positive nuclear Wip1 expression. Wip1 protein expression was positively correlated with p21 expression. The tumors with positive Wip1 and negative p21 expression showed the poorest prognosis among all tumor types.
CONCLUSION:The protein expression of Wip1 might be regulated by PPM1D amplification, independent of TP53 status. Positive Wip1 and negative p21 expression was associated with the poorest prognosis and suggests the loss of p53 function.
