✦ Synopsis
To isolate a putative tumor suppressor gene(+ we have constructed a physical map and a detailed deletion map of chromosome region 8p2 I .3-p22, where loss of heterozygosity (LOH) has been frequently seen in human hepatocellular carcinomas (HCC), colorectal cancers (CRC), and non-small cell lung cancers (NSCLC). The smallest commonly deleted region at 8p21.3+22 in HCC and CRC was between the loci defined by C18-245 and C18-2b14; in NSCLC, a region between C18-I05 I and C18-2644 was commonly deleted. A contiguous physical map of I 2 cosmid markers in the 8p2I .3-p22 region was constructed by means of multi-color fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE). On the basis of this physical map, which spans roughly 3. I Mb, the estimated sizes of the commonly deleted regions were at most I .2 Mb in HCC and CRC and 0.6 Mb in NSCLC. As four of the I 2 physically ordered markers are located within the 0.6 Mb region commonly deleted in all three tumor types, nearly one fourth to one fifth of the target region has already been covered with cosmid inserts.
