P53-binding protein 1 (53BP1) is an early DNA damage response-protein that is rapidly recruited to sites of DNA double-strand breaks. The presence of 53BP1 nuclear foci can be considered as a cytologic marker for endogenous double-strand breaks reflecting genomic instability. This study aimed to clarify the early DNA damage response mediated by 53BP1 in tumor specimens of ductal resection margins and to elucidate its predictive value for clinically evident local recurrence at ductal stumps in 110 patients undergoing resection for extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma. The ductal resection margin status was classified as negative (85 patients), positive with carcinoma in situ (14 patients), or positive with invasive carcinoma (11 patients). The nuclear staining pattern of 53BP1 was evaluated by immunofluorescence. TUNEL analysis was used to calculate apoptotic index. Ductal margin status was the only independent risk factor for local recurrence (P=0.001). The cumulative probability of local recurrence at 5 years was 10%, 40% and 100% in patients with negative ductal margins, positive with carcinoma in situ and positive with invasive carcinoma, respectively (P&lt;0.001). Of the 14 tumor specimens of carcinoma in situ, 10 showed diffuse localization of 53BP1 in nuclei (53BP1 inactivation) and 4 showed discrete nuclear foci of 53BP1 (53BP1 activation). All 11 tumor specimens of invasive carcinoma showed 53BP1 inactivation. Apoptotic index was markedly decreased in tumor specimens with 53BP1 inactivation compared to those with 53BP1 activation (median index, 0% vs. 22%; P&lt;0.001). Among 14 patients with residual carcinoma in situ, the cumulative probability of local recurrence was significantly higher in patients with 53BP1 inactivation than in patients with 53BP1 activation (60% vs. 0% at 5 years; P=0.020). In conclusion, after resection for extrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma, clinically evident local recurrence at ductal stumps is closely associated with 53BP1 inactivation and decreased apoptosis.
