This study suggests that the DPC4 gene may play a limited role in gallbladder carcinoma; however, p53 gene mutation is more frequently found in gallbladder cancers.
These results suggest that TP53 mutations may contribute to the carcinogenesis of the F-type GC, and than this pathway in the F-type may differ from that in the P-type GC.
Frequent mutations were identified in tumor protein 53 (<i>TP53</i>) (14/27), SMAD family member 4 (<i>SMAD4</i>) (6/27), phosphatidylinositol-4,5-bisphosphate 3-kinase, catalytic subunit α (<i>PIK3CA</i>) (6/27), and Kirsten rat sarcoma (<i>KRAS</i>) (6/27); no significant differences were identified between EBDC and GBC tissues.
Deconstructing the epidemiological association between GBC and Salmonella Typhi infection, we show that Salmonella enterica induces malignant transformation in predisposed mice, murine gallbladder organoids, and fibroblasts, with TP53 mutations and c-MYC amplification.
IDH1/2 mutations appeared more frequently in ICC (23.6%, P = 0.0002) than in GBC (4.0%) or ECC (2.3%), while ERBB2/3 mutations were found only in GBC (20.0%) and ECC (11.4%).
These results suggest that the Val allele of CYP1A1 Ile462Val polymorphism and the Pro allele of TP53Arg72Pro polymorphism contribute to an increased risk of GBC among Japanese women and men, respectively.
We aimed to examine the associations of cytochrome P450 1A1 (CYP1A1), glutathione S-transferase class mu (GSTM1), and tumor protein p53 (TP53) polymorphisms with the risk of GBC in Chilean women.
