โฆ Synopsis
Human papillomavirus (HPV) types I 6 and 18 integration sites were mapped in six HPV-immortalized human keratinocyte cell lines by fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH). Mapping of HPV sequences in these cell lines revealed that HPV integration varied in copy number and location but that integration sites were stable over extended passages in culture. Integration occurred at different sites throughout the genome and did not correspond to the location of specific cellular genes. However, integration sites were consistent with integration near or within known fragile sites in five of the six cell lines. Induction of aphidicolin-sensitive fragile sites in one cell line prior to in situ hybridization revealed that integrated HPV DNA was disrupted by fragile-site expression, suggesting that integration occurred within a fragile site. Genes Chrom Cancer 5: 150-157 ( 1 992).

Spatially regulated expression of E (epithelial)-and P (placental)-cadherins is crucial for maintaining normal epidermal architecture. In cutaneous squamous cell carcinomas (SCCs), aberrant P-cadherin expression is often observed in ''squamoid'' cancer cells, whereas E-cadherin expression in cancer
A total of six cervical carcinoma cell lines, of which two contained human papillomavirus (HPV) type 16 and four contained HPV type 18 DNA, were examined for viral RNA expression by spot-blot hybridization. All six cell lines contained HPV-specific cytoplasmic poly(A)-containing RNA. The same RNA sp
