dc.description.abstractThe samples of hepatocellular carcinoma from Turkey, a country with a high prevalence of hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus, but low dietary exposure to aflatoxin B1, were examined in order to detect the frequency of mutant p53 and its association with clinical and pathological data. Fifty-two samples of hepatocellular cancer from the patients who were diagnosed in our clinic were included in this study. The mutant p53 protein was searched for by specific enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Of 52 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma, 26 (50%) had the mutant p53. The incidence of p53 mutation in hepatocellular cancer patients with chronic liver disease due to hepatitis B virus infection was significantly higher than in those with chronic liver disease due to alcohol, indicating that not alcohol but hepatitis B virus, in fact induces the mutations in p53 gene. In addition, it has been shown that the p53 mutation was significantly associated with the diameter of tumor nodule and the degree of cellular differentiation in hepatocellular cancer. The p53 mutation rate found in our study is concordant for a geography where hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus are common. Hepatitis B virus and possibly hepatitis C virus, but not alcohol, should be responsible, to a degree, for the mutational change in p53 protein in hepatocellular cancer patients with chronic liver disease. The p53 mutation is a late event in hepatocarcinogenesis because it is related with cellular differentiation and tumor diameter. The specific ELISA can be a useful screening test in future studies to select the patients for gene therapy using wild-type p53.en_US
