Immunohistochemistry-Paraffin: MGMT Antibody (MT 23.2) [NB100-168] - IHC analysis of a formalin fixed paraffin-embedded (FFPE) human kidney using 1:2000 conc. of MGMT antibody (clone MT 23.2) on a Bond Rx autostainer (Leica Biosystems). The assay involved 20 minutes of heat induced antigen retrieval (HIER) using 10mM sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0) and endogenous peroxidase quenching with peroxide block. The sections were incubated with primary antibody for 30 minutes and Bond Polymer Refine Detection (Leica Biosystems) with DAB was used for signal development followed by counterstaining with hematoxylin. Whole slide scanning and capturing of representative images was performed using Aperio AT2 (Leica Biosystems). Nuclear staining of MGMT was observed. Staining was performed by Histowiz.

Background: MGMT

MGMT (6-O-methylguanine-DNA methyltransferase) is a DNA repair enzyme with the ability to protect cells from carcinogenic effects of alkylating agents by removing adducts from the O(6) position of guanine. MGMT repairs alkylated guanine residues in DNA by stoichiometrically transferring the alkyl group at the O-6 position to a cysteine residue in the enzyme, and in this so called 'suicidal reaction', the enzyme is irreversibly inactivated. Localized in the nucleus, MGMT is ubiquitously expressed in normal human tissues with overexpression observed in several types of cancerous cells wherein it provides resistance against alkylating drugs. However, it is found epigenetically silenced in some cancers that include lymphoma, breast and prostate cancer, as well as retinoblastoma, wherein this silencing is thought to be due to promoter methylation which interferes with transcriptional factors binding. MGMT silencing has been linked to mutations in other tumor-related genes including silencing of p53 (non-small cell lung cancer and astrocytic tumors), k-ras gene mutations (gastric and colorectal cancer), and methylation of CDKN1A gene (encodes p21) as well as CDKN2A gene (encodes p16).
