Ref ID: 044.1 Molecular cloning of unbalanced chromosome 17 breakpoints in neuroblastoma cell lines reveals distinct underlying mechanisms Gudrun Schleiermacher1, Franck Bourdeaut1, Isabelle Janoueix-Lerosey1, Valérie Combaret2, Alain Aurias1, Olivier Delattre1 INSERM U5091, Institut Curie, 26 rue d\'Ulm, Paris; and Laboratoire de Biologie Cellulaire2, Centre Léon Bérard, Lyon, France. In neuroblastoma, the most frequent genetic alterations are unbalanced chromosome 17 translocations leading to gain of distal 17q, which is thought to play an important role in the oncogenesis of this tumor through a dosage effect of genes located on this chromosome. However, little is known about the mechanism leading to these unbalanced translocations, and to date, no such translocation has been characterized at a molecular level. In order to analyze their molecular structure, we have now cloned the breakpoints of the following unbalanced chromosome 17q translocations: a der(1)t(1;17)(p34;q12) and a der(1)t(1;17)(p13;q12) in cell lines CLB-Bar and CLB-Ma, a der(11)t(11;17)(q13;q11) in SK-N-AS, and a der(3)t(3;17)(p21;q11) in SK-N-BE. Our approach consisted of a delineation of the chromosome 17q breakpoints by FISH using BAC/PAC clones. Subsequently, fine mapping by FISH using PCR generated probes was performed. Southern analysis identified rearranged fragments in all cell lines, and phage libraries were constructed, which were then screened for recombinant clones containing the rearranged fragments. Positive recombinant clones were sequenced, and the exact position of breakpoints on 17q and the recipient chromosomes could be identified in all four cases. Distinct molecular features could be identified at the translocation breakpoints, suggesting that different molecular mechanisms may lead to unbalanced chromosome 17 translocations in neuroblastoma. The disrupted genes and the molecular structure at the fusion sites will be further described. Presentation mode(s): ORAL-PRESENTATION – PC-PROJECTOR
