MSH2 and Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colon Cancer Keri Nakao 5 April 2005
Hereditary Nonpolyposis Colorectal Cancer • Tumors on proximal (right side) colon • Tumors in gastrointestinal tract and genitourinary tract often • Muir-Torre http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/gene=msh2
MSH2 located on Chromosome 2 Location – 2p22-p21 Cell. 1993 Dec 3;75(5):1027-38. Fishel et al. k-12.pisd.edu/.../ Genetic/Chromosome-02.htm
Mismatch Repair System • MSH2 and MSH6 bind to mismatched segment of DNA • DNA helicase unwinds helix • MLH1 endonuclease binds to complex and excises replication error • DNA polymerase fills gap • DNA ligase Lodish et al. Fig. 23-28

Knockouts tolerant to MNNG • MNNG induces: • chromosomal aberrations • Sister chromosome exchanges • DNA strand breaks • Unscheduled DNA synthesis www.uoguelph.ca/.../ 4426/Mutagenesis6.html http://monographs.iarc.fr/htdocs/monographs/suppl7/mnng.html
HNPCC www.healingdaily.com/.../ colon-health.htm
Mutations in MSH2 • Deletions in poly(dA/dT) sequences and other simple repeats • Frameshifts or point mutations that result in STOP codons • Missense American Journal of Human Genetics. 1995 May;56(5):1060-6. Wijnen et al. Human Genetics. 1996 Feb;97(2):251-5. Maliaka et al.
Treatment • Family testing • Risk is significantly higher in males • Aspirin or Suldinac Proceedings of the National Academy of Science of the U S A. 1998 Sep 15;95(19):11301-6. Ruschoff et al.
Summary • Mismatch Repair System • Knockout mice viable but develop lymphomas • Many mutations in MSH2 may cause HNPCC
