✦ Synopsis


Loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 11 is frequently altered in various epithelial cancers. The present study was designed to investigate LOH on chromosome 11 in microdissected samples of normal prostatic epithelium and invasive carcinoma from the same patients. For this purpose, DNA was extracted from the microdissected normal and tumor cells of 38 prostate cancers, amplified by polymerase chain reaction PCR and analyzed for LOH on chromosome 11 using 9 different polymorphic DNA markers (D11S1307, D11S989, D11S1313, D11S898, D11S940, D11S1818, D11S924, D11S1336 and D11S912). LOH on chromosome 11 was identified in 30 of 38 cases (78%) with at least one marker.

Four distinct regions of loss detected were: 1) at 11p15, at loci between D11S1307 and D11S989; 2) at 11p12, on locus D11S131 (11p12); 3) at 11q22, on loci D11S898, D11S940 and D11S1818; and 4) at 11q23-24, on loci between D11S1336 and D11S912. We found 25% of the tumors with LOH at 11p15; 39% had LOH at 11p12; 66% had LOH at 11q22; and 47% had LOH at 11q23-24. These deletions at 11p15, 11p12, 11q22 and 11q23-24 loci were not related to the stage or grade of the tumor.
