Infrequent involvement of microsatellite instability in urinary bladder carcinomas of the NON/Shi mouse treated with N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine

Variation in the frequency of microsatellite instability (MSI) has been reported in different kinds of human malignant tumors, with less than one-third of invasive urinary bladder carcinoma cases estimated to be affected. Here we investigated the MSI for 27 microsatellite sequences in invasive urinary bladder carcinomas of the NON/Shi mouse induced by N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)nitrosamine. A total of 28 urinary bladder carcinomas of both transitional cell and squamous cell types were studied. All were invasive (greater than pT3) and high-grade and 10 of them had metastasis. Only two (11%) of 18 primary bladder carcinomas without metastasis foci showed alterations in one or two loci. None of 10 pairs of urinary bladder carcinomas and metastasis foci demonstrated any alterations. In conclusion, MSI which represents a defect in the DNA mismatch repair system is infrequent and therefore unlikely to be a critical step in genesis of invasive mouse urinary bladder carcinomas.
