Objective: To construct a hMSH2/hMSH6 protein interaction system, and to use it for evaluating missense mutations detected in hMSH2 gene.
Methods: Recombinant plasmids pGADT7-hMSH2, pGBKT7-hMSH6 and 7 recombinant pGBKT7 plasmids with different hMSH6 domains were constructed through genetic engineering. Subsequently, site-directed mutagenesis was used to construct 10 mutant pGADT7-hMSH2 plasmids, which were transformed into yeast AH109. The growth of transformants was observed on a histidine-deficient culture.
Results: Both hMSH6 MutSII-V and MutSIII-V could interact with hMSH2 in yeast AH109. Yeast two-hybrid transformants pGADT7-hMSH2/pGBKT7-hMSH6 MutSII-V were used to construct a hMSH2/hMSH6 protein interaction system. Compared with wild-type hMSH2, yeast two-hybrid transformants c.505A>G, c.1168C>T, c.1255C>A, c.1261C>A could grow normally, c.1223A>G, c.1886A>G, c.2108C>A and c.2516A>G grew slowly, c.518T>G and c.1664 delA could not grow in a histidine-deficient medium in yeast AH109.
Conclusion: A hMSH2/hMSH6 protein interaction system has been constructed with yeast two-hybrid system, which has been used for functional evaluation of hMSH2 gene missense mutations. c.518T>G is a pathological mutation. c.1223A>G, c.1886A>G, c.2108C>A, c.2516A>G may in part affect the hMSH2 function. And c.505A>G, c.1168C>T, c.1255C>A, c.1261C>A were innocuous variants.

Article Synopsis
- Immune checkpoint inhibitors, specifically PD-1 inhibitors, show potential as a new treatment for patients with Richter transformation-diffuse large B-cell lymphoma variant (RT-DLBCL), based on a study of 64 patients.
- The study categorized tumor expression levels of PD-1, PD-L1, CD30, and microsatellite instability, identifying a subset of patients (43.7%) with an "immune evasion phenotype" (IEP+) that displayed significantly higher levels of PD1-positive tumor-infiltrating lymphocytes (TILs).
- Patients with brisk PD1+ TILs had a notably better overall survival rate compared to those with lower levels of TILs, indicating a correlation between immune response
Mismatch repair system in colorectal cancer. Frequency, cancer phenotype, and follow-up.

Introduction And Aims: A frequent task in the study of colorectal carcinomas (CRC) is to identify tumors harboring deficient DNA mismatch repair systems (dMMR), which are associated with microsatellite instability. Given that there is scant information on those tumors in Mexican patients, our aim was to describe their frequency, clinical and pathologic characteristics, and results, which are necessary for future trials.
Materials And Methods: A consecutive series of CRC patients, treated and followed at a tertiary care center was performed.

To assess the clinical features and treatment outcomes in patients with primary ovarian squamous cell carcinoma (POSCC). Fifteen patients with primary ovarian squamous cell carcinoma diagnosed from January 2009 to December 2018 in Cancer Hospital of the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences were collected. The expression of p16, hMLH1, hMSH2, hMSH6 and PMS2 in POSCC was detected by immunohistochemistry, and the status of high-risk human papillomavirus (HPV) by RNAscope test.

Background: Appropriate DNA replication is vital to maintain cell integrity at the genomic level. Malfunction on DNA repair mechanisms can have implications related to tumor behavior. Our aim was to evaluate the expression of key complexes of the DNA mismatch-repair system MutSα (hMSH2-hMSH6) and MutSβ (hMSH2-hMSH3) in a panel comprising the most common benign and malignant salivary gland tumors (SGT), and to determine their association with disease-free survival.

Background: Microsatellite instability (MSI) is caused by defects in DNA mismatch repair (MMR) components. Inactivation of any MMR gene(s), including hMLH1, hMSH2, hMSH6, and hPMS2, can result in MSI. Immunohistochemistry (IHC) is a sensitive and specific screening tool for MSI that can detect loss of expression of one or more MMR components.
