Cutaneous mast cell tumours (MCT) are among the most frequent malignancies in dogs. Their clinical behaviour is highly variable and, with the exception of mutations in the c-kit gene, little is known about their genetic aetiology. The mutational status of the c-kit exons 8, 9 and 11, and exons 5-8 of the TP53 gene was analysed to find markers for molecular stratification of MCTs and predictors of clinical outcome. Mutations in the c-kit gene were detected in 19.5% (n = 8/41) samples and their presence was significantly associated with the high histopathological grade (P = 0.038). Mutations in the DNA binding domain of the TP53 gene were found in 14.6% (n = 6/41) of the analysed MCTs, and their frequency was similar in low and high grade MCTs (P > 0.05). TP53 mutations were not useful prognostic factors in this sample of canine cutaneous MCTs.
皮肤肥大细胞瘤(MCT)是犬类最常见的恶性肿瘤之一。其临床行为高度可变,除了c-kit基因的突变外,对其遗传病因知之甚少。分析了c-kit基因外显子8、9和11以及TP53基因外显子5-8的突变状态,以寻找MCT分子分层的标志物和临床结果的预测指标。在19.5%(n = 8/41)的样本中检测到c-kit基因突变,其存在与高组织病理学分级显著相关(P = 0.038)。在14.6%(n = 6/41)的分析MCT中发现了TP53基因DNA结合域的突变,其在低级别和高级别MCT中的频率相似(P > 0.05)。在该犬皮肤MCT样本中,TP53突变不是有用的预后因素。
