  1. MLH1 and HNPCC March 29, 2005 Tammy Jernigan http://www.macgn.org/cc_hnpcc1.html

  2. Type I Site Specific Colorectal Cancer Type 2 Colorectal Cancer Extracolonic Cancers: -Endometrial (80%) -Ovarian -Stomach, Urologic MLH1 and HNPCCHereditary Non-Polyposis Colon CancerLynch I SyndromeSite SpecificColorectal CancerMLH1 and HNPCCHereditary Non-Polyposis Colon CancerLynch I SyndromeSite SpecificColorectal CancerHNPCCHereditary Non-Polyposis Colon Cancer Lynch Syndrome http://my.webmd.com/hw/colorectal_cancer/nord953.asp

  3. ~5% Colorectal Cancers Autosomal, dominant inheritance (follows Tumor-Suppressor 2-Hit rule) 80-90% Penetrance 40% of these are related to the gene MLH1, a DNA Mismatch Repair gene 90% of the tumors related to MLH1 deficiency show microsatellite instability (MSI or MIN) HNPCCHereditary Non-Polyposis Colon Cancer http://www.healthsystem.virginia.edu/uvahealth/hub_cancer/hnpcc.cfm http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/dispomim.cgi?id=120436

  4. Treatment for HNPCC Colectomy • Removal of entire colon and reconnection of small intestine to the remaining rectum • Followed by the Health Maintenance Guideline http://www.kimmelcancercenter.org/kcc/HereditaryCancer/HNPCC/hnpcc.htm

  5. Health Maintenance Guideline http://www.clevelandclinic.org/registries/inherited/hnpcc.htm

  6. MLH1 Location • Chromosome 3 • On short arm (p) at location 21.3 (3p21.3) US National Library of Medicine http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/gene=mlh1#name

  7. Mutations in MLH1 • Over 300 have been characterized Common Mutations include: • Entire deletion of the exon (Codons 578-672 on short arm of chromosome 3) • Frameshift mutation (new stop codon); truncation • Insertion of nucleotides http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/query.fcgi?CMD=search&DB=omim

  8. MLH1 Function • One of the two most common genes related to HNPCC • One of five genes involved in DNA Mismatch Repair during cell division (MSH2, MLH1, MSH6, PMS1, PMS2) • MLH1 protein is part of a DNA repair complex that includes PMS2, which is part of the MMR system. • MLH1 deficiency results in increased spontaneous mutations throughout the genome due to dysfunction of the MMR system http://www.ohsu.edu/tech-transfer/technologies/wct_389.shtml http://www.exactsciences.com/pregen26/professionals/about_hnpcc/_index.htm

  9. MLH1: A Mismatch Repair Gene Role of Mismatch Repair System: - Eliminate base-base mismatches - due to replication errors or - deamination (cytosine to thymidine) - Eliminate insertion-deletion loops - due to DNA polymerase pausing and template slippage Peltomaki, Human Molecular Genetics, 2001. Vol. 10, No. 7 735-740 http://saturn.roswellpark.org/cmb/huberman/DNA_Repair/mmr.html

  10. Base-Base Mismatches • MSH2 and MSH6 bind to mispaired DNA segment. • This triggers the binding of the MLH1 endonuclease complex (includes PMS2). DNA helicase unwinds helix, daughter stand is cut, exonuclease removes many nucleotides including mismatched base. • Gap filled by DNA polymerase and sealed by DNA ligase. - E. coli studied in depth for this mechanism (methylation) Lodish et al, Figure 23-28 http://saturn.roswellpark.org/cmb/huberman/DNA_Repair/mmr.html

  11. Insertion-deletion loops • Due to DNA polymerase pausing and template slippage during DNA replication • Slippage can occur in regions of tandemly repeated units (such as (CA)12). These regions of repeated units are known as microsatellites. The gain or loss of these units due to slippage is known as microsatellite instability (MSI or MIN). • DNA melts and reanneals incorrectly and creates a loop extending off of one strand. • Repair follows similar mechanism of base-base mismatches http://www.virtuallaboratory.net/Biofundamentals/lectureNotes/AllGraphics/slippage.jpg Peltomaki, Human Molecular Genetics, 2001. Vol. 10, No. 7 735-740 http://saturn.roswellpark.org/cmb/huberman/DNA_Repair/mmr.html

  12. Model Organisms • Mouse • E. coli • S. cerevisiae • Drosophila

  13. Knockout Mouse: MLH1 and PMS2 • Phenotype: - normal gestation - >80% developed tumors after one year - 7 of 8 tumors did not express APC (Adenomatus polyposis coli) - Frameshift and base substitution mutations increased dramatically in all examined tissues • Double knockout of MLH1 and PMS2 revealed similar results, supporting the idea that MLH1 nullizygosity is sufficient to inactivate MMR completely http://www.mdc-berlin.de/~gfactor/maus.jpg http://www.ohsu.edu/tech-transfer/technologies/wct_389.shtml http://www.pdg.cnb.uam.es/UniPub/iHOP/gs/122799.html

  14. S. cerevisiae • Missense Codons from human HNPCC correlated with MLH1 and MSH2 introduced into yeast to note effects: - complete loss of function - silent polymorphisms - efficiency polymorphisms • Connection between clinical human data and yeast results • Supported feasibility of constructing genes that encode functional hybrid human-yeast MLH1 proteins http://www.bio.unc.edu/courses/2005Spring/Biol169/ • Ellison AR, Lofing J, Bitter GA.

  15. MLH1 and HNPCC Summary

  16. Cancer Treatment Summary • Colectomy (presently used) • Hybrid human-yeast MLH1 gene introduction • Drug development that would target MLH1 -/- cells and cause cell death
