We have studied somatic cell hybrids between thymidine kinase (EC 2.7.1.75) deficient mouse cells and human diploid fibroblasts for the expression of human acid alpha-glucosidase (EC 3.2.1.20). A deficiency in this enzyme is associated with the type II glycogenosis or Pompe disease. All 30 somatic cell hybrids selected in hypoxanthine/aminopterin/thymidine medium expressed human acid alpha-glucosidase and galactokinase (EC 2.7.1.6) and retained human chromosome 17; counterselection of the same hybrids in medium containing 5-bromodeoxyuridine resulted in the growth of hybrids that concordantly lost the expression of human acid alpha-glucosidase and galactokinase as well as human chromosome 17. Hybrids between thymidine kinase-deficient mouse cells and fibroblasts from a patient with Pompe disease that contained human chromosome 17 were found not to express human acid alpha-glucosidase. Because we have already shown that hybrids between mouse peritoneal macrophages and GM54VA simian virus 40-transformed human cells selectively retain human chromosome 17 and lose all other human chromosomes, we tested 13 independent mouse macrophage x GM54VA hybrid clones, including two that retained human chromosome 17 and no other human chromosomes, for the expression of human acid alpha-glucosidase and galactokinase. All 13 hybrid clones were found to express these human enzymes. Thus, we conclude that the gene coding for human acid alpha-glucosidase is located on human chromosome 17.  相似文献

The pattern of terminal replication of the human chromosomes in a clone of hybrids between diploid human fibroblasts and mouse cells was analyzed by autoradiography. An average of 10 human chromosomes was present in the hybrid cells. Several of these chromosomes were found to terminate replication in a different order from the same chromosomes in the parental human fibroblasts. Chromosomes 4 and 5 completed replication later in the hybrid than in the fibroblasts (relative to the other human chromosomes). In contrast, chromosomes 7, 12, and 15 completed replication earlier in the hybrid than in the fibroblasts. These results suggest that the sequence of terminal chromosome replication in human fibroblasts is not irreversibly programmed into each chromosome.  相似文献

The purine and polyamine metabolic enzyme methylthioadenosine (MeSAdo) phosphorylase is abundant in normal cells and tissues but is lacking from many human and murine malignant cell lines and from cells of some human leukemias in vivo. To explore the genetic control of MeSAdo phosphorylase expression, we measured levels of the enzyme in somatic cell hybrids prepared by fusing MeSAdo phosphorylase-deficient mouse L cell lines with human fibroblasts. In the hybrid clones, MeSAdo phosphorylase activity segregated concordantly with adenylate kinase 1, a marker for human chromosome 9, but not with enzyme markers for any other human chromosome. In hybrid clones derived from human fibroblasts with a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 9 and 17, MeSAdo phosphorylase activity was confined to cells containing the 9pter----9q12 region. In every case, the enzyme-positive hybrid clones displayed bands of MeSAdo phosphorylase activity with isoelectric points characteristic of both the human and murine enzymes. These results indicate that the structural gene for human MeSAdo phosphorylase, designated MTAP, can be assigned to the 9pter----9q12 region of human chromosome 9. Furthermore, these studies with interspecies somatic cell hybrids show that the MeSAdo phosphorylase-deficient state is recessive in mouse L cell lines.  相似文献

We have assigned the gene (B2m) coding for murine beta 2-microglobulin (B2M) to mouse chromosome 2 by using a novel panel of Chinese hamster-mouse somatic cell hybrid clones. Because of 35 independent primary hybrids used in this study were derived from two types of feral mice, each with a different combination of Robertsonian translocation chromosomes, as well as from mice with a normal complement of acrocentric chromosomes, analysis of 16 selected mouse enzyme markers provided data on the segregation of all 20 mouse chromosomes in these hybrids. Mouse B2M was identified in cell hybrids by immunoprecipitation with a species-specific anti-mouse B2M antiserum followed by two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of the immunoprecipitated polypeptides. Enzyme analysis of the segregant clones excluded all chromosomes for B2m assignment except mouse chromosome 2, and karyotype analysis of nine informative hybrid clones confirmed the assignment of B2m to this chromosome. These results demonstrate that, in the mouse, as in man, B2m is not linked to the major histocompatibility or immunoglobulin loci.  相似文献

Somatic cell hybrids between mouse and human cell lines have been used to identify the specific chromosome that governs the synthesis of type I procollagen. Fourteen hybrid clones and subclones were derived independently from crosses between mouse parents [LM (thymidine kinase-negative) or A9 (hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase-negative)] and human cells (human diploid lung fibroblasts WI-38 or diploid skin fibroblasts GM5, GM17, and GM9). The cultures were labeled with [(3)H]proline in modified Eagle's medium without serum. Radioactive procollagens were purified from the medium by the method of Church et al. [(1974) J. Mol. Biol. 86, 785-799]. DEAE-cellulose chromatography was used to separate collagen and type I and type III procollagen. Human type I procollagen was assayed by double immunodiffusion analysis with type I procollagen antibodies prepared by immunizing rabbits with purified human type I procollagen. These analyses combined with karyology and isozyme analyses of each hybrid line have produced evidence for the assignment of the gene for human type I procollagen to chromosome 17. A human microcell-mouse hybrid cell line containing only human chromosome 17 was positive for human type I procollagen, lending further support to the assignment of the human type I procollagen gene to chromosome 17. Finally, by using a hybrid line containing only the long arm of human chromosome 17 translocated onto a mouse chromosome, the type I procollagen gene can be assigned more specifically to the long arm of chromosome 17.  相似文献

A system that selects for the gene directing synthesis of the enzyme adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT) uses the antibiotic alanosine to prevent endogenous synthesis of adenylic acid. With the aid of this system, a new series of human-mouse hybrids has been prepared between wild type human diploid fibroblasts and an enzyme-deficient mouse line. Survival of the hybrids depended upon the presence of the APRT, which was shown to have the isoelectric pH characteristic of the human enzyme and not that of the mouse. Reduced hybrids containing the enzyme lacked all human biarmed chromosomes, so that unless a rearrangement had occurred, the aprt gene must be located on an acrocentric chromosome. The hybrid cells became APRT(-) with a frequency of 2 x 10(-3), probably by loss of the human aprt chromosome. The APRT(-) progeny could be obtained selectively by growth in medium containing fluoroadenine.  相似文献

Ten human/mouse hybrid cell lines that segregate either human or mouse chromosomes were examined for the expression of human- and mouse-specific histones H1 and H2B. Results of this study indicate that the human and mouse chromosomes in hybrid cells that segregate human chromosomes (M greater than H hybrids) contain only mouse histone H1 and H2B. Chromosomes in hybrid cells that segregate mouse chromosomes (H greater than M hybrids) contain only human H1 and H2B histones. Loss of the ability to produce either human or mouse histones does not seem to be due to the loss of specific human or mouse chromosomes because M greater than H hybrids retaining at least one copy of each human chromosome contain only mouse H1 and H2B and H greater than M hybrids retaining at least one copy of each mouse chromosome contain only human H1 and H2B histones. These results, together with those concerning histone H4 acetylation levels and ratios of variants of histones H3 and H2A that are like those in the dominant parent cell type, indicate that the control mechanisms affecting H1 and H2B expression in H greater than M and in M greater than H hybrid cells affect expression of histones H2A, H3, and H4 genes as well. The present data thus support the hypothesis that none of the histone genes that are active in the recessive parent cell type is expressed in hybrid lines that segregate recessive cell chromosomes.  相似文献

Human chromosome 3 has been identified as responsible for expression of the transferrin receptor in mouse-human lymphocyte hybrids. The receptor was detected by immunoprecipitation with anti-human receptor antibody of 125I-labeled cells. This method also detected a similar 94,000-dalton protein in mouse cells. A radioimmunoassay developed for the human transferrin receptor measured 10% crossreactivity with the mouse protein. The two proteins were distinguished by NaDodSO4/polyacrylamide gel patterns of partial proteolytic digests of the immunoprecipitated proteins. Mouse-human hybrids were generated by fusing a mouse thymoma (BW5147) cell line to either concanavalin A- or pokeweed mitogen-activated human peripheral blood lymphocytes or a mouse myeloma (NS-1) to uncultured human peripheral blood lymphocytes. Each hybrid was karyotyped with respect to both mouse and human chromosomes. In every case, expression of the human transferrin receptor correlated only with human chromosome 3.  相似文献

The human thymidine kinase gene has been transferred from HeLa S3 cells to mouse LM(TK-) cells via isolated metaphase chromosomes. Efficient transfer of the thymidine kinase gene (1.8 X 10(-5) colonies per recipient cell) was obtained when the donor chromosomes were precipitated with calcium phosphate and the recipient cells were treated with 10% (vol/vol) dimethyl sulfoxide. Thirty-five independent cell lines were analyzed in detail. Cytologically detectable donor chromosome fragments were observed in 14% of the cell lines. Many of the transformed cell lines were also found to express the human genes for galactokinase (23% of the transformed cell lines) and procollagen type I (69% of the transformed cell lines), which are syntenic to thymidine kinase on human chromosome 17. On the basis of stability analyses, three classes of transformed cell lines were defined and characterized. One class of transformants was stable, showing no loss of the transferred phenotype in the absence of selection. A second group of transformants was unstable, losing the thymidine kinase phenotype at a rate of 1.5-2.5% per day. This group of transformants was found to possess large donor chromosome fragments (macrotransgenomes) and relatively low levels of donor gene activity. The third group of transformants lost the thymidine kinase phenotype rapidly, at a rate of 6-10% per day. These cell lines contained small, cytologically undetectable transgenomes (microtransgenomes) and overexpressed the transferred thymidine kinase gene.  相似文献

Somatic cell hybrids were generated by fusion of mouse erythroleukemia cells either to mouse L cells (B82), human fibroblasts (W1-18 VA2), or human marrow fractions enriched in erythroblasts. The hybrid cells were examined for globin gene expression by benzidine staining to detect cytoplasmic hemoglobin, and by molecular hybridization of cellular RNA to globin complementary DNA (cDNA) to detect globin messenger RNA (MRNA). The fibroblast (human or mouse) times erythroleukemia cell hybrids grown in monolayer retained most of the chromosomes of each parent. Neither cytoplasmic hemoglobin nor globin mRNA was detected in dimethylsulfoxide-treated fibroblast times erythroleukemia hybrid cells, indicating extinction of hemoglobin synthesis prior to the formation of cytoplasmic mRNA. The human marrow times mouse erythroleukemia hybrid cells grown in suspension culture contained only a few human chromosomes and exhibited low levels of hemoglobin synthesis which were amplified by 2% dimethylsulfoxide. Mouse (but not human) globin mRNA was demonstrated in these hybrid cells. The results suggest that somatic cell hybrids may be useful in searching for genetic factors which regulate activity of the globin genes.  相似文献

The structural gene encoding human alpha-L-iduronidase has been assigned to chromosome 22 by using immunologic, electrophoretic, and somatic cell hybridization techniques. Polyclonal rabbit antibodies raised against purified human low-uptake alpha-L-iduronidase were used to discriminate the human and murine isozymes by a sensitive immuno-precipitation assay. The human chromosome constitution of each clone was determined by cytogenetic and enzyme marker electrophoretic techniques. In 65 human (fibroblast)-mouse (RAG) somatic cell hybrids (from four independent fusions), the expression of human alpha-L-iduronidase was 100% concordant with the presence of human chromosome 22; the assignment was confirmed by the demonstration of the human enzyme in tertiary somatic cell hybrids containing only chromosome 22. Further verification of the gene assignment was made by detection of the human enzyme in tertiary chromosome 22 positive hybrids by Ouchterlony immunodiffusion and rocket immunoelectrophoretic experiments with polyclonal anti-human alpha-L-iduronidase antibodies that were monospecific for the human enzyme. Expression of human enzymatic activity in chromosome 22 positive hybrid lines was markedly reduced; for example, a tertiary hybrid (R-G21-J-15), which contained an average of 1.7 chromosome 22s per cell, only had about 15% of the activity detected in normal diploid fibroblasts. Immunologic studies suggested that the reduced expression was due to abnormal post-translational processing or aggregation (or both) of the human and murine isozymes in these hybrids. Regional assignment of the human structural gene to 22pter----q11 was accomplished by gene dosage studies using diploid human fibroblast lines that were partially monosomic or trisomic for chromosome 22.  相似文献

The expression of 13 newly defined human cell surface antigens identified by monoclonal antibodies was studied in a panel of reduced rodent-human somatic cell hybrid clones. For each antigenic system the segregation of antibody reactivity was concordant with the segregation of a specific human chromosome, permitting the chromosomal assignment of 13 gene loci determining antigen expression. The antigens can be placed in four groups on the basis of their patterns of control in the hybrid cells. (i) Presence of a single human chromosome is necessary and sufficient for antigen expression; L230 (assigned to chromosome 2), AJ425, K15 (chromosome 3), SR84 (chromosome 5), JF23, Q14 (chromosome 11), SV13 (chromosome 15), and F10 (chromosome 19). (ii) AJ2 (chromosome 10) and J143 (chromosome 17); two antigens coded for by separate human chromosomes but associated as a molecular complex on the surface of AJ2+/J143+ human cells. (iii) F8 (chromosome 19); antigen expression dependent on the growth characteristics of hybrid cells: substrate-adherent cells are F8+, whereas cells growing in suspension are F8-. (iv) AO122 and F23 (chromosome 15); antigen expression controlled by the permissive/inducing vs. nonpermissive/noninducing nature of the rodent fusion partner. Hybrids derived from both antigen-positive and antigen-negative human cells can express AO122 and F23 but only when specific rodent cell types are used for hybridization: N4TG-1 neuroblastoma and L cells, but not RAG renal carcinoma cells, permit AO122 expression, whereas RAG and L cells, but not N4TG-1 cells, permit F23 expression. The rapidly expanding list of monoclonal antibodies defining human cell surface molecules provides a range of markers to probe the genetic regulation of antigen diversity in somatic cells.  相似文献

The somatic cell hybrid method has been used to study the number and different types of human genes involved in the expression of adenosine deaminase (ADA; adenosine aminohydrolase, EC 3.5.4.4) in normal cells and cells from a patient with ADA-deficient severe combined immunodeficiency disease (SCID). Genetic and biochemical characterization of ADA in SCID and the ADA tissue-specific isozymes in normal human cells indicates that additional genes, besides the ADA structural gene on chromosome 20, are involved in ADA expression. Human chromosome 6 encodes a gene, ADCP-1, whose presence is necessary for the expression of an ADA-complexing protein in human-mouse somatic cell hybrids [Koch, G. & Shows, T. B. (1978) Proc. Natl. Acad. Sci. USA 75, 3876-3880]. We report the identification of a second gene, ADCP-2, on human chromosome 2, that is also involved in the expression of the ADA-complexing protein. The data indicate that these two ADCP genes must be present in the same cell for that cell to express the complexing protein. Human-mouse somatic cell hybrids, in which the human parental cells were fibroblastss from an individual with ADA-deficient SCID, also required human chromosomes 2 and 6 to express the ADA-complexing protein, indicating that neither ADCP-1 nor ADCP-2 is involved in the ADA deficiency in SCID. The SCID-mouse hybrid cells expressed no human ADA even when human chromosome 20 had been retained. The deficiency of human ADA in these hybrids maps to human chromosome 20, and therefore is not due to the repression or inhibiton of ADA or its product by unlinked genes or gene products. We propose that the expression of the polymeric ADA tissue isozymes in human cells requires at least three genes: ADA on chromosome 20, ADCP-1 on chromosome 6, and ADCP-2 on chromosome 2. A genetic scheme is presented and the different genes involved in ADA expression and their possible functions are discussed.  相似文献

Evidence for derepression of the gene for hypoxanthine phosphoribosyltransferase (HPRT; IMP: pyrophosphate phosphoribosyltransferase, EC 2.4.2.8) on the human inactive X chromosome was obtained in hybrids of mouse and human cells. The mouse cells lacked HPRT and were also deficient in adenine phosphoribosyltransferase (APRT; AMP: pyrophosphate phosphoribosyltransferase; EC2.4.2.7). The human female fibroblasts were HPRT-deficient as a consequence of a mutation on the active X but contained a normal HPRT gene on the inactive X. The two human X chromosomes were further distinguished by differences in morphology: the inactive X was morphologically normal while the active X included most of the long arm of autosome no. 1 translocated to the distal end of the X long arm. Forty-one hybrid clones were first isolated by selection for the presence of APRT; when these clones were selected for HPRT, six of them yielded derivatives having human HPRT with incidences of about 1 in 10-6 APRT-selected hybrid cells. The HPRT-positive derivatives contained a normal-appearing X chromosome indistinguishable from the inactive X of the parental human fibroblasts. The active X with the translocation was not found in any of the HPRT-positive hybrid cells. Human phosphoglycerokinase (ATP:3-phospho-D-glycerate 1-phosphotransferase. EC 2.7.2.3) and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (D-glucose 6-phosphate: NADP 1-oxidoreductase, EC 1.1.1.49), which are specified by X-chromosomal loci, were not detected in the hybrids expressing HPRT even though they contained an apparently intact X chromosome. The observations are most simply explained by the infrequent, stable derepression of inactive X chromosome segments that include the HPRT locus but not the phosphoglycerokinase and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase loci.  相似文献

Immunoglobulin synthesis was examined in 31 man-mouse hybrid clones produced by fusing RAG mouse cells with human lymphoid cells. Cells were grown in serum-free medium containing [(14)C]leucine and a (14)C-labeled amino acid mixture. Spent medium was dialyzed, concentrated, and subjected to radioimmunoelectrophoresis. Eighteen clones were found to produce material that gave a radiolabeled precipitin line with anti-human IgG (gamma-chain specific). Production of material which was indistinguishable on radioimmunoelectrophoresis from human Ig gamma heavy chain, was dependent on the presence in hybrid clones of human chromosome 6. The material was found to have the ion-exchange elution characteristics of human IgG. When radiolabeled spent medium from human lymphoid lines and from chromosome 6-positive hybrid clones was exposed to protein A-Sepharose and bound material eluted with 8 M urea was subjected to sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis, three radiolabeled peaks occurred with molecular weights of approximately 55,000 (coinciding with that of Ig gamma heavy chain), 40,000 and 25,000 (coinciding with that of Ig light chains). No similar peaks were detected in experiments where spent medium from RAG cells was treated identically. These studies lead us to conclude that certain RAG-human lymphoid hybrid clones produce human IgG and that the structural genes for gamma heavy chains are located on human chromosome 6. These results also imply that the locus coding for human alpha,-antitrypsin (Pi) is located on chromosome 6.  相似文献

Cotransfer of two linked human genes into cultured mouse cells.   总被引:7,自引:3,他引:7       下载免费PDF全文
Two linked human genes which code for the expression of cytosol thymidine kinase (ATP:thymidine 5'-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.75) and galactokinase (ATP:D-galactose 1-phosphotransferase, EC 2.7.1.6) have been cotransferred via purified metaphase chromosomes from the human lymphoblastoid cell line WI-L2a, into mouse L-cells [B82 and LM(TK-)]. Both genes have previously been shown to be closely linked on the human chromosome E17, band q21-22. Coexpression of both human enzyme markers was detected in two out of eight gene transfer clones, whilst the remaining six clones contained only human cytosol thymidine kinase, as shown by electrophoretic techniques. A further 23 human enzyme markers corresponding to 15 different human chromosomes were found to be absent in these gene transfer clones. No human chromosome or chromosomal fragment could be detected by karyotype analyses. Some of the gene transfer clones rapidly lost the transferred donor material when grown in nonselective medium, whereas others expressed a stable phenotype under these conditions. Prolonged maintenance in selective medium favors the survival of gene transfer cells expressing a stable phenotype. Possibly these cells harbor the donor genes integrated into a recipient chromosome.  相似文献

A panel of 28 mouse-human somatic cell hybrids of known karyotype was screened for the presence of the human carbonic anhydrase II (CA II) gene, which encodes one of the three well-characterized, genetically distinct carbonic anhydrase isozymes (carbonate dehydratase; carbonate hydro-lyase, EC 4.2.1.1). The human and mouse CA II genes can be clearly distinguished by Southern blot analysis of BamHI-digested genomic DNA with a mouse CA II cDNA hybridization probe. The two major hybridizing fragments in mouse were 15 and 6.0 kilobase pairs, and in human they were 15 and 4.3 kilobase pairs. Analysis of the somatic cell hybrids by this technique identified those containing human CA II gene sequences. Segregation analysis of the molecular marker and chromosomes in cell hybrids indicated a clear correlation between the presence of chromosome 8 and the human CA II gene (CA2). This finding provides the second polymorphic marker for human chromosome 8 and, moreover, a molecular disease marker, because human CA II deficiency has recently been linked to an autosomal recessive syndrome of osteopetrosis with renal tubular acidosis and cerebral calcification.  相似文献

Most mouse-human somatic cell hybrids show preferential loss of human chromosomes, absence of human 28S ribosomal RNA, and suppression of human nucleolus organizer activity, as visualized by the Ag-AS silver histochemical stain. In contrast, the mouse-human hybrids studied here show preferential loss of mouse chromosomes. The hybrids were made by fusion of HT-1080-6TG human fibrosarcoma cells with BALB/c mouse peritoneal macrophages or strain 129 mouse teratocarcinoma cells. The Ag-AS staining method shows nucleolus organizer activity of chromosomes 13, 14, 15, 21 (rarely), and 22 in the human parent and chromosomes 12, 15, 16 (rarely), and 18 in the BALB/c mouse parent. In the hybrid cells the human nucleolus organizer regions are active, as shown by Ag-AS staining and involvement in "satellite association." The mouse nucleolus organizer regions are not stained by the Ag-AS method even though mouse chromosomes 12, 15, and 18 are present in the BALB/c hybrids and at least one copy of each mouse chromosome is present in the teratocarcinoma-derived hybrids. Thus, in these mouse-human hybrids, unlike those that lose human chromosomes, only human nucleolus organizer activity is expressed, and mouse nucleolus organizer activity is suppressed.  相似文献

A clone that cross-hybridizes with a mouse p53 probe has been isolated from a cDNA library of simian virus 40-transformed human fibroblasts. This cloned human p53 cDNA was used as a probe to examine DNAs obtained from human-rodent somatic cell hybrids that have segregated human chromosomes. The results show that the human p53 gene is located on chromosome 17. In addition, Southern analysis of hybrids prepared from human cells containing a chromosome 17 translocation allowed regional localization of the human p53 gene to the most distal band on the short arm of this chromosome (17p13). Localization of the p53 gene to 17p13 was confirmed by in situ hybridization of metaphase spreads with the human p53 probe.  相似文献
