The aim of this report was to investigate the expression of the p53 and mdm-2 oncoproteins in astrocytic gliomas and to assess their interrelation to proliferating activities. Using monoclonal antibodies directed against p53 and mdm-2, these proteins were stained immunohistochemically in 60 astrocytic brain tumors with different histologic grade. Positive p53 stained nuclei were detected in 25.4% of the tumor cases. Mdm-2 staining products were only localized in 10.5% of specimens. Significant correlations could be found between p53, MIB-1, PCNA and mitotic index on the one hand, and tumor grade on the other hand. There were no clear relations between mdm-2 expression and proliferation markers. The grade of ploidy has a lower priority for the proliferating activity. In most cases mdm-2 immunoreactivity was strongly associated with a low or negative p53 expression.
