We report the use of spectral karyotyping (SKY) and comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) to describe the numerous genomic imbalances characteristic of stage IV clear cell renal cell carcinoma (CCRCC). SKY and CGH were performed on 10 cell lines established from nephrectomy specimens, and CGH on uncultured material from five of the primary renal tumors. The mutational status of VHL (3p25) and MET (7q31), genes implicated in renal carcinogenesis, were determined for each case. Each case showed marked aneuploidy, with an average number of copy alterations of 14.6 (+/-2.7) in the primary tumors and 19.3 (+/-4.6) in the cell lines. Both whole-chromosome and chromosome-segment imbalances were noted by CGH: consistent losses or gains included +5q23-->ter (100%), -3p14-->ter (80%), and +7 (70%). All VHL mutations and 83% of the genomic imbalances found in the primary tumors were also found in the cell lines derived from them. SKY showed many complex structural rearrangements that were undetected by conventional banding analysis in these solid tumors. All cases with VHL inactivation had 3p loss and 5q gain related primarily to unbalanced translocations between 3p and 5q. In contrast, gains of chromosome 7 resulted primarily from whole-chromosome gains and were not associated with mutations of MET. SKY and CGH demonstrated that genomic imbalances in advanced RCC were the result of either segregation errors [i.e., whole chromosomal gains and losses (7.8/case)] or chromosomal rearrangements (10.7/case), of which the majority were unbalanced translocations. 相似文献

Cisplatin, an anticancer drug, forms DNA interstrand cross-links (ICL) that interfere with replication, whereas TREX2 is a 3'-->5' exonuclease that removes 3' mismatched nucleotides and promotes cellular proliferation. Here, we show that TREX2 is depleted in human cells derived from cancer after exposure to cisplatin but not other genotoxins including another cross-linking agent, mitomycin C (MMC), indicating a potential role for TREX2 depletion in cisplatin-induced cytotoxicity. To better understand TREX2 cellular function, we deleted TREX2 in mouse embryonic stem (ES) cells by gene targeting and find these cells exhibit reduced proliferation and gross chromosomal rearrangements including Robertsonian translocations (RbT). Quite interestingly, ES cells exposed to cisplatin also exhibit RbTs. By contrast, RbTs are not observed for ES cells exposed to MMC, indicating that RbTs are not caused by ICLs but instead TREX2 depletion by either cisplatin exposure or mutation. Taken together, our results show that cisplatin depletes TREX2 and causes genomic instability that is similarly observed in TREX2-mutant cells. Thus, cisplatin has two potential cytotoxic activities: (a) the generation of ICLs and (b) the depletion of TREX2. 相似文献

Clinical assessments made with measuring devices are generally considered “objective” and “accurate” and are, therefore, more discriminating than subjective assessments. We show that the choice of measuring devices or non-standardized landmarks to be used with the measuring devices affect the “accuracy” of the “objective” findings. © 1994 Wiley-Liss, Inc. 相似文献

Oral tongue squamous cell carcinoma (OTSCC) is associated with poor prognosis. To improve prognostication, we analyzed four gene probes (TERC, CCND1, EGFR and TP53) and the centromere probe CEP4 as a marker of chromosomal instability, using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) in single cells from the tumors of sixty‐five OTSCC patients (Stage I, n = 15; Stage II, n = 30; Stage III, n = 7; Stage IV, n = 13). Unsupervised hierarchical clustering of the FISH data distinguished three clusters related to smoking status. Copy number increases of all five markers were found to be correlated to non‐smoking habits, while smokers in this cohort had low‐level copy number gains. Using the phylogenetic modeling software FISHtrees, we constructed models of tumor progression for each patient based on the four gene probes. Then, we derived test statistics on the models that are significant predictors of disease‐free and overall survival, independent of tumor stage and smoking status in multivariate analysis. The patients whose tumors were modeled as progressing by a more diverse distribution of copy number changes across the four genes have poorer prognosis. This is consistent with the view that multiple genetic pathways need to become deregulated in order for cancer to progress. 相似文献

Anesthesia is widely used in several medical settings and accepted as safe.However,there is some evidence that anesthetic agents can induce genomic changes leading to neural degeneration or apoptosis.Although chromosomal changes have not been observed in vivo,this is most likely due to DNA repair mechanisms,apoptosis,or cellular senescence.Potential chromosomal alterations after exposure to common anesthetic agents may be relevant in patients with genomic instability syndromes or with aggressive treatment of malignancies.In this study,the P388 murine B cells were cultured in vitro,and spectral karyotyping (SKY) was utilized to uncover genomewide changes.Clinically relevant doses of cisatracurium and propofol increased structural and numerical chromosomal instability.These results may be relevant in patients with underlying chromosomal instability syndromes or concurrently being exposed to chemotherapeutic agents.Future studies may include utilization of stimulated peripheral blood lymphocytes to further confirm the significance of these results. 相似文献

A total of 91 cervical archival biopsy series were analysed for the presence and viral load of 'high-risk' types of human papillomavirus (HR-HPV), and p16(INK4a) expression. The women had various degrees of CIN (cervical intraepithelial neoplasia). HPV 16 was the most prevalent type found, at 47% frequency. The frequency of HPV 16 increased with increasing immunoreactivity to p16(INK4a), from 39% to 44% at cases scored low to medium, to 65% at high reactivity. Thirty (33%) of the samples had negative p16(INK4a) analysis results, but were positive for HR-HPV. There was no significant correlation between viral load and the level of p16(INK4a) expression, while the grade of CIN correlated to such expressions. Thus, p16(INK4a) expression analysis yielded information which is consistent with results from the histopathology and might complement the HPV analysis in a clinical prognostic procedure in order to find women at risk for cervical cancer. 相似文献
