| Abstract | BACKGROUND: The oncogenic properties of murine double minute-2 (mdm2) protein over-expression, which mostly results from the interaction with the tumor suppressor p53, are well described and their negative impacts on the prognosis of affected patients is well characterized. However, clinical relevance of mdm2 mRNA expression is poorly investigated. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In this study, 65 soft tissue sarcoma (STS) samples were analyzed for mdm2 mRNA expression by a quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) approach using available validated ready-to-use assays based on the TaqMan technology (PE Applied Biosystems, Weiterstadt, Germany). Mdm2 data were correlated to glyceraldehyde-3-phosphate dehydrogenase (GAPDH) expression calculated from the same sample. RESULTS: For patients with a mdm2/GAPDH mRNA ratio below 50 zmol/amol the survival was strikingly reduced in comparison to patients with a ratio of > or =50 (p = 0.0241). Multivariate Cox analysis showed that the difference in prognosis for patients with tumor stage 2 and 3 became even more pronounced between patients with a ratio of <50 zmol/amol and patients with a ratio of > or =50 (p = 0.0041; RR = 5.6). To test if the group with an mdm2 mRNA expression > or =50 is homogenous concerning the prognosis, the group was divided into three subgroups with values of 50 to <100, 100 to <500 and > or =500. The subgroup with values of 100 to <500 showed the best prognosis (p = 0.0164); whereas, the one with values of 50 to <100 showed the worst prognosis in this group and, in between, was the one with values of > or =500. After omitting patients of stage 1 and 4, the subgroup with values of 100 to <500 showed an even more striking best prognosis (p = 0.0015); the other subgroups remained in the same sequence. The risk of tumor-related death over 5 years was most conspicuous in patients with mdm2 mRNA expression <50 than in those with ratios of 100 to <500 displaying a 13.3-fold higher risk. In a comparison between mdm2 mRNA levels and P53 protein expression or p53 mutational status, no relationship was found. CONCLUSIONS: In our study, the mdm2 mRNA level appears to be an independent prognostic factor for STS patients, marking its role in STS genesis and as a potential factor for gene therapeutical approaches. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
