Abstract
A novel breast cancer cell line (RAO‐3) was established by transduction of the Q61L mutant RAS into human mammary epithelial cells that were immortalized with catalytic subunit of telomerase (hTERT). The cells displayed anchorage‐independent growth and proliferation, and formed human mammary spindle cell carcinoma when injected into nude mice. Chromosome locus 1q22‐23 was partially duplicated and inverted on one of the 3 chromosomes present in the cell line. We report here that mutations of chromosome 1q22‐23 locus have resulted in the loss of RAB25 expression in the breast cancer cell line. Transduction of RAB25 into the breast cancer cell line arrests anchorage‐independent growth. We have also demonstrated loss of RAB25 in human breast tumor tissue. These data suggest that loss of RAB25 might contribute to tumorigenesis of breast cancer, and RAB25 is likely to be an important factor in the development of breast cancer. RAB25 could be used as biological marker of breast cancer and provides a target for gene replacement therapy. © 2006 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

## Abstract RhoBTB2 was isolated recently as a tumor suppressor gene from human chromosome 8p21.3. Although RhoBTB2 was found to be frequently lost in breast cancer lines, expression status of RhoBTB2 in sporadic breast cancer tissues and its clinical and prognostic value, however, remain unclear.
Detection of alfelic loss in human breast cancer is hindered by the fact that breast cancer tissues are frequently infiltrated by stromal and inflammatory cells.

## Abstract The __FHIT__ tumor suppressor gene, which encompasses the fragile site __FRA3B__ at 3p14.2, is altered frequently in many types of human cancers. To determine its importance as a prognostic marker in breast cancer, the expression of the FHIT protein was studied in a series of 452 breast
