DNA testing is recommended in families fulfilling at least "suspected HNPCC" criteria. After exclusion of FAP (characteristic FAP features include polyposis, congenital hypertrophy of the retinal pigment epithelium, cysts and osteomata of bones of the maxilla and mandible, desmoid tumours), immunohistochemical analyses (IHC) of MLH1, MSH2 and MSH6 ...

Msh2 deficiency enhances somatic Apc and p53 mutations in Apc+/-Msh2-/- mice [PDF]
Inactivation of the adenomatous polyposis coli (Apc) gene by loss of the wild-type Apc allele (LOH) is a prerequisite for the development of intestinal adenomas in Msh2 proficient Min (Apc+/-Msh2+/+) mice. In contrast, adenomas from Msh2 deficient Min (Apc+/-Msh2-/-) mice are not usually associated with LOH.

Functional Interaction of Proliferating Cell Nuclear Antigen with MSH2-MSH6 and MSH2-MSH3 Complexes [PDF]
Eukaryotic DNA mismatch repair requires the concerted action of several proteins, including proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) and heterodimers of MSH2 complexed with either MSH3 or MSH6. Here we report that MSH3 and MSH6, but not MSH2, contain N-terminal sequence motifs characteristic of proteins that bind to PCNA.

MSH2 and CXCR4 involvement in malignant VIPoma [PDF]
Abstract Background Vasoactive intestinal polypeptide secreting tumors(VIPomas) are rare endocrine tumors of the pancreas with an estimated incidence of 0.1 per million per year. The molecular mechanisms that mediate development of VIPomas are poorly investigated and require definition.

The Formation of a Stable Sliding Clamp Discriminates MSH2-MSH3 and MSH2-MSH6 Mismatch Interaction [PDF]
ABSTRACT MutS homologs (MSH) are highly conserved core components of DNA mismatch repair (MMR). Mismatch recognition provokes ATP-binding by MSH proteins that drives a conformational transition from a short-lived lesion-searching clamp to an extremely stable sliding clamp on the DNA. Once on DNA the MSH sliding clamps provide a platform

Cytoplasmic MSH2 Related to Genomic Deletions in the MSH2/EPCAM Genes in Colorectal Cancer Patients With Suspected Lynch Syndrome [PDF]
BackgroundA large proportion of patients with Lynch syndrome (LS) have MSH2 abnormalities, but genotype-phenotype studies of MSH2 mutations in LS are still lacking. The aim of this study was to comprehensively analyze the clinicopathological characteristics and molecular basis of colorectal cancer (CRC) in patients with uncommon MSH2 cytoplasmic ...

Hypersensitivity to camptothecin in MSH2 deficient cells is correlated with a role for MSH2 protein in recombinational repair [PDF]
DNA mismatch repair (MMR) corrects DNA polymerase insertion errors that have escaped proofreading in order to avoid the accumulation of deleterious mutations. While the role of MMR in the correction of replication errors is well established, its involvement in the processing of DNA damage induced by chemical and physical agents is less clear.

MSH2 Loss in Primary Prostate Cancer [PDF]
Abstract Purpose: Inactivation of mismatch repair (MMR) genes may predict sensitivity to immunotherapy in metastatic prostate cancers. We studied primary prostate tumors with MMR defects. Experimental Design: A total of 1,133 primary prostatic adenocarcinomas and 43 prostatic small cell carcinomas (NEPC) were ...

Interaction between the Msh2 and Msh6 Nucleotide-binding Sites in the Saccharomyces cerevisiae Msh2-Msh6 Complex [PDF]
Indirect evidence has suggested that the Msh2-Msh6 mispair-binding complex undergoes conformational changes upon binding of ATP and mispairs, resulting in the formation of Msh2-Msh6 sliding clamps and licensing the formation of Msh2-Msh6-Mlh1-Pms1 ternary complexes.
