Tumors of varying malignant potential arise from the complex epithelial lining of the nephron. Although the molecular characteristics of renal clear cell carcinomas, which arise from the proximal tubule, have been studied, little is known about tumors that develop from other parts of the renal tubular system. To elucidate common molecular lesions that may contribute to the development or progre...
PURPOSE The FHIT gene, which spans the FRA3B fragile site at chromosome 3p14.2, is a candidate tumor suppressor gene in breast carcinomas. In this study, we would like to delineate more precisely its role in breast tumorigenesis. EXPERIMENTAL DESIGN To confirm the tumorigenic role of FHIT, 46 sporadic invasive ductal carcinomas of the breast were tested for the "two hits" required to inactiva...
A proportion of gastrinomas demonstrates aggressive growth, and most deaths occur in this group. Little is known about the molecular pathogenesis of growth of this tumor, and there are no predictive factors that are useful in an individual patient. Chromosome 1 (Chr 1) loss of heterozygosity (LOH) is frequent in a number of nonendocrine tumors and in a few endocrine tumors, and its presence can...
In diploid eukaryotes, repair of double-stranded DNA breaks by homologous recombination often leads to loss of heterozygosity (LOH). Most previous studies of mitotic recombination in Saccharomyces cerevisiae have focused on a single chromosome or a single region of one chromosome at which LOH events can be selected. In this study, we used two techniques (single-nucleotide polymorphism microarra...
To identify the mechanism of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) and potential modifier gene(s), we investigated the molecular basis of somatic NF1 inactivation in myeloid malignancies from 10 children with neurofibromatosis type 1. Loci across a minimal 50-Mb region of primarily the long arm of chromosome 17 showed LOH in 8 cases, whereas a less than 9-Mb region of loci flanking NF1 had LOH in the re...
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) is detectable in many forms of malignancy, including leukemia, using techniques such as microsatellite analysis and comparative genomic hybridization. However, these techniques are laborious and require the use of relatively large amounts of DNA if the whole genome is to be examined. Here we describe the use of oligonucleotide microarrays to characterize single nucl...
PURPOSE Head and neck cancers account for about 6% of all human cancers. Molecular changes leading to the disease development and progression still remain not fully explained. Examination of loss of heterozygosity (allelic loss, LOH) using the specific microsatellite markers is a method of choice in assessing tumour suppressor genes (TSGs) localisation in human genome. MATERIAL AND METHODS Th...
Allele loss involving chromosome arm 3p is one of the most frequent and earliest known genetic events in lung cancer pathogenesis and may affect several potential tumor suppressor gene regions. To further study the role of chromosome 3p allele loss in the pathogenesis of lung cancer, we performed high resolution loss of heterozygosity (LOH) studies on 97 lung cancer and 54 preneoplastic/preinva...
The molecular genetic mechanisms underlying esophageal cancer are poorly understood. However, a novel gene that may be involved in esophageal carcinogenesis was recently localized by others to distal 17q by linkage analysis of kindreds with palmoplantar keratoderma and squamous cell carcinoma of the esophagus. To help determine whether a distal 17q gene may also be involved in the pathogenesis ...
Esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC) is one of the most common and deadly cancers in Japan. In this study we performed fluorescent in situ hybridization (FISH) and loss of heterozygosity (LOH) analysis for chromosome 18q in ESCC cells to investigate allelic imbalance of chromosome 18q in ESCC. In the FISH analysis, only one signal for chromosome 18q was detected in TE-1 esophageal cancer c...
