PG - 157-65 AB - Previous cytogenetic and molecular genetic studies have shown that the HeLa (cervical carcinoma) cell line D98/AH-2 contains two apparently normal copies of chromosome 11 and additional 11q13-25 material translocated onto a chromosome 3 marker. To determine the 11q13 breakpoint, we performed fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) using 18 different 11q13 specific BAC (bacterial artificial chromosome) and cosmid probes spanning a 5.6 Mb interval. Markers localized to the multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1) gene (menin) were also included in the analysis. The FISH study identified an interstitial deletion between markers D11S449 and GSTP1, an interval of 2.3 Mb, in the marker chromosome. This deletion did not include the MEN1 gene. Because point mutations and methylations can inactivate the MEN1 gene, single stranded conformational polymorphism (SSCP) and Northern and Western blot analyses were performed with MEN1 specific probes and antibody. SSCP did not reveal mutations of the MEN1 gene in HeLa or in seven other cervical cancer cell lines. Northern and Western blot studies revealed normal levels of expression of this gene in the cervical cancer cell lines as well as in HeLa cell derived tumorigenic hybrids. Because deletions of tumor suppressor genes often occur in cancer progression, we hypothesize that the inactivation of a tumor suppressor gene other than MEN1, localized to the 2.3 Mb interval on 11q13, might play a role in the abnormal growth behavior of HeLa cells in vitro or in vivo.
