    Abstract: Hybrid mice carrying oncogenic transgenes afford powerful systems for investigating loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in tumors. Here, we apply this approach to a neoplasm of key importance in human medicine: mammary carcinoma. We performed a whole genome search for LOH using the mouse mammary tumor virus/v-Ha- ras mammary carcinoma model in female (FVB/N × Mus musculus castaneus )F 1 mice. Mammary tumors developed as expected, as well as a few tumors of a second type (uterine leiomyosarcoma) not previously associated with this transgene. Genotyping of 94 anatomically independent tumors revealed high-frequency LOH (≈38%) for markers on chromosome 4. A marked allelic bias was observed, with M. musculus castaneus alleles almost exclusively being lost. No evidence of genomic imprinting effects was noted. These data point to the presence of a tumor suppressor gene(s) on mouse chromosome 4 involved in mammary carcinogenesis induced by mutant H- ras expression, and for which a significant functional difference may exist between the M. musculus castaneus and FVB/N alleles. Provisional subchromosomal localization of this gene, designated Loh-3 , can be made to a distal segment having syntenic correspondence to human chromosome 1p; LOH in this latter region is observed in several human malignancies, including breast cancers. Evidence was also obtained for a possible second locus associated with LOH with less marked allele bias on proximal chromosome 4.

    Abstract: We have examined the effects of inactivation of the p53 tumor suppressor gene on the incidence of apoptotic cell death in two stages of the adenoma-to-carcinoma progression in the intestine: in early adenomas where p53 mutations are rare and in highly dysplastic adenomas where loss of p53 occurs frequently. Homozygosity for an inactivating germ-line mutation of p53 had no effect on the incidence or the rate of progression of Apc Min/+ -induced adenomas in mice and also did not affect the frequency of apoptosis in the cells of these adenomas. To examine the effect of p53 loss on apoptosis in late-stage adenomas, we compared the incidence of apoptotic cell death before and after the appearance of highly dysplastic cells in human colonic adenomas. The appearance of highly dysplastic cells, which usually coincides during colon tumor progression with loss of heterozygosity at the p53 locus, did not correlate with a reduction in the incidence of apoptosis. These studies suggest that p53 is only one of the genes that determine the incidence of apoptotic in colon carcinomas and that wild-type p53 retards the progression of many benign colonic adenoma to malignant carcinomas by mechanism(s) other than the promotion of apoptosis.

    Abstract: Array technologies have made it straightforward to monitor simultaneously the expression pattern of thousands of genes. The challenge now is to interpret such massive data sets. The first step is to extract the fundamental patterns of gene expression inherent in the data. This paper describes the application of self-organizing maps, a type of mathematical cluster analysis that is particularly well suited for recognizing and classifying features in complex, multidimensional data. The method has been implemented in a publicly available computer package, genecluster , that performs the analytical calculations and provides easy data visualization. To illustrate the value of such analysis, the approach is applied to hematopoietic differentiation in four well studied models (HL-60, U937, Jurkat, and NB4 cells). Expression patterns of some 6,000 human genes were assayed, and an online database was created. genecluster was used to organize the genes into biologically relevant clusters that suggest novel hypotheses about hematopoietic differentiation—for example, highlighting certain genes and pathways involved in “differentiation therapy” used in the treatment of acute promyelocytic leukemia.
