Presumptive tumor suppressor genes may be localized to specific chromosomes by the procedure of microcell fusion, whereby individual chromosomes derived from normal human cells are introduced into tumor cells. Allelic loss on chromosome I 8 is commonly seen in endometrial carcinoma, and the DCC gene

β¦ Synopsis
Loss of heterozygosity (LOH
) of mouse chromosome 7 has been consistently demonstrated in chemically induced murine squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs). The region of this chromosome presenting LOH in the mouse tumors is syntenic to human chromosome segments I I p I 5 and I I q. To determine whether the introduction of human chromosome (Hchr) I I can suppress the growth of murine SCC, we injected four clones of a chemically induced murine SCC cell line bearing an Hchr I I into athymic BALB/c nude mice. All microcell hybrid clones with Hchr I I (CH721Hchr I I) had latency periods twice as long as those of the parental CH72 cells and control hybrids containing a Hchr 12. Tumor-derived cells from CH721Hchr I I hybrids had lost centromeric and telomeric sequences from Hchr I I. All repressed cell lines grew significantly m e slowly in vitro than did the controls. These results suggest that Hchr I I contains a tumor-suppressor gene capable of inhibiting tumorigenicity in chemically induced SCC, confirming common pathways in the development of human neoplasias and the murine model.

## Abstract Eight out of 9 human squamous carcinoma cell lines ectopically secrete the beta subunit of human chorionic gonadotrophin (Ξ²βHCG) in amounts detectable by radioimmunoassay. In contrast, both normal and SV40βtransformed keratinocytes show no such evidence of Ξ²βHCG secretion. Ectopic Ξ²βHCG
