PG - 28-36 AB - Cervical tumors nearly all have complex karyotypes and more precise cytogenetic information is required to establish whether specific rearrangements occur, and if they are related to the type of HPV infection found. The karyotypes of five recently established cervical cancer cell lines, three from squamous cell carcinomas (two HPV 16 +ve and one HPV 18 +ve), one from an adenocarcinoma (HPV -ve), and one from an adenosquamous carcinoma (HPV 16 +ve), have been analysed using fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH), with 23 chromosome specific paints, YACs and cosmids as probes, in addition to conventional G banding, in order to identify markers and clarify the breakpoints. Chromosomes 1 and 3 were rearranged in all cell lines. Breakpoints in the squamous lines were all in 3q. but in different regions. Small metacentrics involving chromosome 5 were a del(5q) in one line, and a t(X;5) in another, rather than i(5p). The region 6q21 was involved in three cases and chromosome 9 was rearranged in four. An i(8q) was found in three squamous carcinoma cell lines. Structural changes of 11q were found only in two cases, but a marker 11 representing amplification in the 11q14-22 region was duplicated in the adenosquamous line.
