PG - 195-204 AB - In an attempt to isolate genes located on double minute (Dmin) DNA in HL-60 cells, we prepared DNA probe from purified micronuclei. Micronucleation was induced in HL-60 cells by treatment with hydroxyurea. Screening of a cDNA library unexpectedly produced a number of clones containing mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) sequences. Here, we show that amplified mtDNA sequences were localized in nuclei and micronuclei of HL-60 and COLO 320DM cells, but not in nuclei of WI-38 normal human fibroblasts or peripheral blood T-cells. To unequivocally demonstrate the presence of mtDNA inside of nuclei and micronuclei, we obtained tomographic fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) images of mtDNA by confocal microscopy of consecutive sections of paraformaldehyde (PFA)-fixed material. We also located mtDNA in nuclear buds and purified micronuclei. Dmin DNA and mtDNA were always located at similar sites. The mechanisms of nuclear retention of mtDNA and Dmin DNA and the resulting influence on tumorigenesis are discussed. CI - Copyright 1999 Elsevier Science B.V.
