Abstract

The tumor suppressor gene p53, located on the short arm of chromosome 17, encodes for nuclear protein which regulates cell proliferation by inhibiting cells entering S-phase. Mutation in p53 gene are the most frequent genetic alteration found in human cancers to date. This study was examined mutant p53 gene mutation using PCR-SSCP method and mutant p53 oncoprotein expression using avidin biotin peroxidase complex method immunohistochemically, in 2 seborrheic keratosis, 3 basal cell carcinoma, 3 squamous cell carcinoma and 1 metaststic squamous cell carcinoma cases. With PCR-SSCP methods in exon 5 and 7, no genetic mutation of p53 gene was observed in 2 seborrheic keratosis, 3 basal cell carcinoma, 3 squamous cell carcinoma, and 1 metaststic squamous cell carcinoma cases. With immunohistochemical staining with ABC method, a case of squamous cell carcinoma developed on lower lip was positive but another were all negative. This result means that p53 gene mutation on skin tumor may develope in squamous cell carcinoma developed on sun exposed area and this mutation on squamous cell carcinoma can develope other exonal site except exon 5 and 7.
