| abstractText | Liver tumors from interspecific hybrid, transgenic mice containing the SV40 early region linked to a mouse major urinary protein enhancer/promoter were analyzed for loss of heterozygosity to identify chromosomal regions which potentially contain genetic loci involved in multistep tumorigenesis. A broad pattern of complete and partial loss of heterozygosity or allelic imbalance was observed with frequent loss of heterozygosity/partial loss of heterozygosity of loci on chromosomes 1, 5, 7, 8, and 12. In tumors from Mus domesticus x Mus spretus F1 mice a strong preference for loss of the domesticus allele of H19 on chromosome 7 was observed, whereas loss of heterozygosity/partial loss of heterozygosity on chromosome 8 involved preferential loss of spretus alleles. In tumors from reciprocal crosses with Mus castaneus, the maternal chromosome 7 H19 allele was preferentially lost irrespective of whether it was domesticus or castaneus, strongly suggesting the involvement of an imprinted gene(s) in tumor progression. |
