PG - 97-102 AB - We analysed allelic deletions on chromosome 5 in microdissected human non-small cell lung cancers. Thirty-four primary squamous cell carcinomas, 15 primary adenocarcinomas and five regional lymph node metastases were investigated for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in chromosomal region 5p15-q21. The sites analysed included the APC tumor suppressor gene at 5q21, five polymorphic microsatellite markers and the putative tumor suppressor locus del-27, that was assigned to chromosomal region 5p13-12 by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) analysis. Allelic deletions encompassed larger genomic regions more often in squamous cell carcinomas than in adenocarcinomas. The del-27 amd APC regions were identified as two distinct regions with the highest LOH frequencies within 5p15-q21. In squamous cell carcinomas LOH frequencies were 73% at the del-27 and 70% at the APC locus. In adenocarcinomas LOH at the del-27 and APC loci occurred in 38% of the informative cases. Allelic deletion of the APC gene and at the del-27 locus was also detected in the metastases. The results suggest involvement of at least two tumor suppressor genes on chromosome 5 in lung tumorigenesis.
