Infrequent alteration of the c-myc gene in human glial tumours associated with increased numbers of c-myc positive cells.

Abstract:

:Twenty five human glial tumours of different grades of malignancy were examined by Southern blotting and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) for alterations (rearrangements, amplification and deletions) in the c-myc gene. Number of c-myc positive cells per thousand cells were also counted in all the tumours after immunohistochemical staining for c-myc protein was done on fixed sections of the tumours. No tumours exhibited any amplification of the gene, as found by Southern blotting. One astrocytoma and one mixed glioma showed some rearrangements in the 3' end of the gene, as detected by Southern blotting and hydridization. These two tumours had higher number of c-myc positive cells than in other tumours of the same histopathological groups. Deletion in the first promoter region, as determined by PCR, was seen in only one astrocytoma. However, the number of c-myc positive cells in that tumour did not show any deviation from that found in other astrocytomas. In light of present literature, it is speculated that the 3' rearrangements may be the cause of increased number of c-myc immunopositive cells in those tumours by disrupting the 3' end of the gene leading to increased c-myc mRNA stability. Such a mechanism may play a part in small subset of glial and possibly other tumours.

  • Frequent loss of heterozygosity on chromosomes 7 and 9 in benign epithelial ovarian tumours.

    abstract::It is presently unclear if ovarian cancers arise through malignant transformation of pre-existing benign tumours. The apparent rarity of loss of heterozygosity (LOH) reported for benign tumours has led to speculation that they lack malignant potential and represent a biological entity distinct from ovarian carcinoma. ...
