BACKGROUND & AIMS: Numerous gastrointestinal tumors, notably sporadic and ulcerative colitis (UC)-associated colorectal carcinomas and dysplasias, gastric cancers, and esophageal carcinomas, manifest microsatellite instability. Recently, a transforming growth factor beta 1 type II receptor (TGF-beta 1RII) mutation in a coding microsatellite was described in colorectal carcinomas showing instability. One hundred thirty-eight human neoplasms (61 UC-associated, 35 gastric, 26 esophageal, and 16 sporadic colorectal) were evaluated for this TGF- beta 1RII mutation. METHODS: Whether instability was present at other chromosomal loci in these lesions was determined. In lesions manifesting or lacking instability, the TGF-beta 1RII coding region polydeoxyadenine (poly A) microsatellite tract was polymerase chain reaction amplified with 32P-labeled deoxycytidine triphosphate. Polymerase chain reaction products were electrophoresed on denaturing gels and exposed to radiographic film. RESULTS: Three of 18 UC specimens with instability at other chromosomal loci (17%) showed TGF- beta 1RII poly A tract mutation, including 2 cancers and 1 dysplasia; moreover, 2% of UC specimens without instability (1 of 43) (1 cancer), 81% of unstable sporadic colorectal cancers (13 of 16), and none of the 61 stable or unstable gastric or esophageal cancers contained TGF-beta 1RII mutations. CONCLUSIONS: Mutational inactivation of the poly A microsatellite tract within TGF-beta 1RII occurs early and in a subset of unstable UC neoplasms and commonly in sporadic colorectal cancers but may be rare in unstable gastric and esophageal tumors.
