  • LATS2 tumour specific mutations and down-regulation of the gene in non-small cell carcinoma
    Stražišar, Mojca ; Mlakar, Vid ; Glavač, Damjan
    LATS2 is a new member of the LATS tumour suppressor family. The human LATS2 gene is located at chromosome 13q11-12, a hot spot (67%) for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in non-small cell lung cancer ... (NSCLC). We screened 129 non-small cell lung cancer samples and 13 lung cancer cell lines, initially for mutations in the LATS2 gene and subsequently for mutations in P53 and K-RAS genes. Either polymorphisms or mutations were identified in over 50 percent of analysed tumours. A novel missense mutation, S1073R, and a large deletion of 8 amino acids in the PAPA-repeat region were detected in 9 and 2 NSCLC tumours, respectively. Those mutations were not identified in the 13 lung cancer cell lines. Mutations were tumour specific and were absent from adjacent normal tissue and healthy controls. Down-regulation of the LATS2 genewas observed in most NSCLC tumours but was not related to any mutation or polymorphism. Tumours with a LATS2 mutation often also harbour a P53 but not K-RAS gene mutation and were mostly in an advanced stage of development, withregional lymph node involvement.
