✦ Synopsis

One of the most frequent genetic abnormalities in prostate cancer is loss of the complete or part of the short arm of chromosome 8, indicating the localization of one or more tumor suppressor genes on this chromosomal arm. Using allelotyping, a frequently deleted region in prostate cancer in a genetic interval of approximately 17 cM between sequence tagged sites D8S87 and D8S133 at chromosome arm 8p12-21 was previously detected. A detailed physical map of this region is now available. Using known and novel polymorphic and nonpolymorphic sequence tagged sites in this interval, a search for homozygous deletions in DNAs from 14 prostate cancer-derived cell lines and xenografts was carried out. In DNA from xenograft PC133, the presence of a small homozygously deleted region of 730-1,320 kb was unambiguously established. At one site, the deletion disrupts the Werner syndrome gene. Data from allelotyping were confirmed and extended by fluorescence in situ hybridization analysis of PC133 chromosome spreads using centromere, YAC, and PAC chromosome 8 probes.
