General description

Mouse double minute protein 2 (MDM2) is a gene encoded on the 12q13-14 chromosomal sequence.1-5 It encodes for a 483 amino acid residue protein which binds to the amino-terminal transcription region of p53.2,5 MDM2 has been shown to negatively regulate the tumor-suppressor activity of p53 by three mechanisms: Blocking p53 transcription, binding to p53 causing it to be exported from the nucleus, and accelerating the destruction of p53.1 MDM2 up-regulation has been shown in liposarcoma while being absent in lipoma.2,4 Therefore, anti-MDM2 has been demonstrated to be a potentially useful tool in distinguishing well-differentiated liposarcoma (atypical lipomatous tumor) from lipoma, with the neoplastic cells positive in the former lesion and negative in lipoma.2,4

MDM2 and CDK4 immunostaining can be useful adjuncts in diagnosing liposarcoma among soft tissue neoplasms. We examined the reproducibility of MDM2 and CDK4 staining between 2 laboratories and between tissue microarrays and whole tissue sections. Sixty-two soft tissue tumors were

Critical to the inhibitory action of the oncogene product, MDM2, on the tumour suppressor, p53, is association of the N-terminal domain of MDM2 (MDM2N) with the transactivation domain of p53. The structure of MDM2N was previously solved with a p53-derived

Liposarcomas are among the most common soft tissue sarcomas in adulthood. The purpose of the study is to perform a histopathologic typing according to World Health Organization (WHO) classification of cases diagnosed with liposarcoma and to examine the difference of

Well differentiated liposarcomas (WDLPS) and dedifferentiated liposarcomas (DDLPS) have been shown to have supernumerary chromosomes with amplified sequences of the MDM2 and CDK4 genes. MDM2 and CDK4 protein overexpression have also been identified in these tumours. To investigate whether immunohistochemistry

Atypical lipomatous tumor/well-differentiated liposarcoma (ALT-WDLPS) and dedifferentiated liposarcoma (DDLPS) may be difficult to distinguish from benign adipose tumors and from poorly differentiated sarcomas, respectively. Genetically, they are characterized by amplification of MDM2 and CDK4 genes on chromosome 12q13-15. We examined
