ABSTRACT

A detailed analysis of loss of heterozygosity in 40 sporadic renal cellcarcinomas was performed by using 30 restriction fragment length polymorphism markers which were mapped on the short arm of chromosome3. A total of 30 of 38 informative cases (79%) showed loss of heterozygosity at one or more loci. Two commonly deleted regions have beenidentified at 3p 13-14.3 and 3p21.3. One of them (at 3p 13-14.3) spans

the breakpoint of the (3;8) translocation in hereditary renal cell carcinomapreviously reported (A. J. Cohen et al., N. Engl. J. Med., 301:592-595,

1979). The second common region of deletion at chromosome 3p21.3encompasses D3F15S2, at which a high incidence of loss of heterzygosityin renal cell carcinoma has been reported. In addition to the gene at 3p25being responsible for the hereditary type of renal cell carcinoma inpatients with von Hippel-Lindau disease, our results suggest that at least

two tumor suppressor genes for sporadic renal cell carcinoma exist onthe short arm of chromosome 3.

INTRODUCTION

Specific chromosomal aberrations have been reported in anumber of human malignancies and are thought to be associatedwith either the activation of protooncogenes (1) or the inacti-vation of tumor suppressor genes (2, 3). In several malignancies,candidate tumor suppressor genes have been isolated: the reti-noblastoma gene on chromosome 13q (4); the Wilms' tumor

gene on chromosome 1Ip (5); the DCC gene on chromosome18q (6); the neurofibromatosis I gene on chromosome 17q (7,8); and the MCC gene on 5q (9). The p53 gene on chromosome17p is also considered to be a tumor suppressor gene (10).

Chromosomal rearrangements and/or deletions of the shortarm of chromosome 3 have also been described in lung cancer(11), uterine cancer (12), breast cancer (13), testicular tumors(14), ovarian cancer (15, 16), and various hematological malignancies ( 17). RCC3 shows a particularly high frequency (60 to100%) of allelic loss (18-22) and specific chromosomal rearrangements (23, 24) of the short arm of chromosome 3. Inaddition, chromosomal translocations involving chromosome3 have been described in hereditary renal cell carcinomas.Members of a large Italian-American family with hereditaryrenal cell carcinoma were reported (25) to show a balancedreciprocal translocation between chromosomes 3 and 8,t(3;8)(pl4.2;q24.13) in peripheral leukocytes (26).

translocation on chromosome 3 was in the same region as thatin the family described by Cohen et al. (25). Although there aremany reports of aberrations of chromosome 3 in renal cellcarcinoma as described above, the tumor suppressor gene ofRCC on chromosome 3 has not yet been isolated. To characterize these aberrations more finely and to isolate the tumorsuppressor gene, we constructed a detailed deletion map of theshort arm of chromosome 3 in 40 sporadic renal cell carcinomasusing 30 RFLP markers. A large number of markers on chromosome 3 used in this study was recently isolated (28, 29). Wealso compared by fluorescence in situ hybridization the commonly deleted region and the breakpoint of t(3;8) chromosomein hereditary renal cell carcinoma (25), which have been considered to be a locus of a tumor suppressor gene (18, 30).

MATERIALS AND METHODS

Tumor Specimens. Normal and tumorous tissues were obtained frompatients diagnosed histologically as having renal cell carcinoma inradical nephrectomy specimens. Tissues from 39 patients were obtainedat the Kobe National Hospital or the School of Medicine at KobeUniversity, Kobe, Japan, and that from one patient was obtained at theCancer Institute Hospital, Tokyo, Japan. All tissues were dissected inthe operation room, frozen in liquid nitrogen, and stored at —85°C.

Clinical data of these patients are summarized in Table 1.DNA Extraction and Southern Blotting. Frozen tissue samples were

Probes and Hybridization. AH probes used in this study are listed inTable 2. cCI3 markers have been localized finely on chromosome 3 byfluorescence in situ hybridization (28), and the loci were confirmed bylinkage analysis (29). pMSl-37(D3S3) (32) and p627 (human c-ra/-l)(33) were obtained from the Japanese Cancer Research Resources Bank.pH3H2 (D3F15S2) (34) was obtained from the American Type CultureCollection.

chromosome region 3p21.3. Tumor 38 shows LOH at a pointdistal to 3p21.3 and proximal to 3pl4.2, but it retained heter-ozygosity at 3pl4.3-3p21.3. Alíelelosses in Tumor 36 arerestricted to the region proximal to 3p21.3.

A total of 38 of 40 cases were informative in at least onelocus, and 30 of 38 tumors (79%) showed LOH in at least onelocus on chromosome 3. The data of LOH in 38 tumors aresummarized as deletion maps in Fig. 2, and the rate of alíelelosses is summarized in Table 2. The positions and order ofmarkers in Figs. 1 and 2 were determined by FISH (28) andlinkage analysis (29). Of the 38 informative samples, 12 (32%)showed LOH at all informative loci tested and 8 (21%) showedno loss at any loci on chromosome 3p. Eighteen of 38 informative samples (47%) showed interstitial or partial deletion onchromosome 3p. Common regions of deletion were segregatedinto two parts, 3pl3-14.3 and 3p21.3.

CCI3-533, -563, -604, -610, pH3H2, and pMSl-37, whichwere polymorphic to some extent in Caucasians, were notpolymorphic among our Japanese patients.

In Situ Hybridization. Fig. 3 shows the result of fluorescencein situ hybridization performed on prometaphase R-bandedchromosomes which contain t(3;8) chromosomes by usingcCI3-610 as a probe. Discrete signals can be seen on normalchromosome 3 and on chromosome 8 derivative which contains3pl4.2-3pter. This result indicates that the clone cCI3-610exists at a point distal to the breakpoint. The results of FISHare summarized in Fig. 4. cCI3-373, -488, and -528 were

mapped at a point proximal to the breakpoint, and cCI3-382,-610, and -721 were mapped at a point distal to the breakpoint.

DISCUSSION

We described the detailed deletion map of the short arm ofchromosome 3 in renal cell carcinoma (Fig. 2). In this study,30 of 38 informative cases (79%) showed LOH on the shortarm of one chromosome 3, which is comparable with theprevious data ( 19, 20). Four (Nos. 4,8,10, and 25) of 8 patients,who showed no LOH at any loci on chromosome 3, also showedno LOH at any loci on other chromosomes (22). This might bebecause of the contamination of normal tissue to tumor samples. Another 4 patients (Nos. 17, 39, 40, and 44), however,showed LOH clearly on other chromosomes (22). These tumorsmay be caused by the mutational events of other chromosomesor by submicroscopic deletions or point mutations on chromosome 3 which could not be detected with the set of probes inthis study.

From the maps which have interstitial deletions (Figs. 1 and2), two commonly deleted regions could be recognized at 3p21.3(between cCI3-515 and cCI3-524) and at 3p 13-14.3 (betweenCCI3-721 and YNZ86.1). The common deletion region at3p21.3 contains cCI3-9 which showed LOH in 3 of 3 informative samples (100%). Linkage analysis using 40 families revealed that the recombination fraction between cCI3-9 andD3F15S2 is zero (lod score = 21.48). Although pH3H2(D3F15S2) was not polymorphic in our study, high frequenciesof LOH at the D3F15S2 locus in renal cell carcinoma havebeen reported in many groups (18-21). This locus encodes a3.3-kilobase mRNA which is expressed in normal lung andnormal kidney. This gene was reportedly expressed in 4 of 5small cell lung cancer cell lines (37); it was expressed only at aseverely reduced level or not at all in 11 of 15 primary renalcell carcinomas (38). This gene might just be "linked butunessential" for RCC development, but the commonly deleted

region which contains D3F15S2 would likely encode one of theRCC tumor suppressor genes.

The breakpoint of t(3;8) chromosome in hereditary renal cellcarcinoma reported by Cohen et al. (25) has been considered tocode for a tumor suppressor gene for renal cell carcinoma (18,30). By fluorescence in situ hybridization (Figs. 3 and 4), thebreakpoint was revealed to exist between two contiguous markers, CCI3-528 and cCI3-610, which are 10 CM (centimorgan)

apart from each other (29). cCI3-528 was contained in thecommonly deleted region at 3pl3-14.3, and this supports thehypothesis that the breakpoint codes for a tumor suppressorgene.

RCC has been observed in as many as 50% of VHL patientsat autopsy, and a case of proximal 3p deletion has been reported

in the RCC of a patient with VHL (39). The gene responsiblefor VHL has been linked to RAF1; locus for an oncogenelocated at 3p25 (40, 41). Bergerheim et al. (19) reported thatone alíeleat the RAF1 locus was always lost in informativepatients, when their RCC samples had other losses of hetero-zygosity on chromosome 3p. Taken together these findingssuggest that the gene of VHL might be one of the tumorsuppressor genes of RCC. However, small deletions restrictedto 3p25 were not observed in our study (Fig. 2). This suggeststhat the gene of VHL is not essential for the development ofall sporadic RCCs, but may have a role in the development ofa proportion of these tumors.
