项目摘要

Tumor suppressors in lymphocytes The genes that are necessary for normal, controlled cell growth are called tumor suppressor genes, and inactivation of these genes can lead to tumor formation. The majority of known tumor suppressors were located by the genetic mapping of organisms with an inherited predisposition for cancer. However, familial predisposition to cancer is responsible for only approximately 10% of human cancers and identificationof tumor suppressors involved in non-familial cancers has been slower. The goal of this proposal is to define the set of tumor suppressors that when deleted contributeto the formation of lymphocytetumors in mice; and their interactions with protooncogenes, as completely as possible. This will be attempted by retroviral insertionalmutagenesis, combined with chemical mutagenesis, to inactivate both alleles in cells of a given mouse. The offspring of chemically mutagenized male mice are subjected to insertional mutagenesis by retrovirus that induces tumors of lymphocyte origin. The viral genome disrupts potential suppressor genes, leading to their inactivation, and at the same time creates a marker for identifying the insertion loci. The tagged cancer genes will be cloned and sequenced by a high throughput PCR based technique. Subsequently, a subset of them will be further characterized and the nature of their cooperation with other oncogenes (co-mutations) will be determined.

淋巴细胞抑制肿瘤正常，受控细胞生长所必需的基因称为肿瘤抑制基因，和这些基因的失活会导致肿瘤形成。大多数已知肿瘤抑制剂是通过具有遗传性癌症的生物体的遗传图。但是，家庭癌症的易感性仅造成大约10％的人类癌症和鉴定涉及非家庭癌的肿瘤抑制剂较慢。该提议的目的是定义当删除贡献肿瘤抑制剂时，小鼠中淋巴细胞的形成；和他们与原子基因的相互作用尽可能完全。这将通过逆转录病毒插入过多作用，结合化学诱变，使给定小鼠的细胞中的两个等位基因灭活。化学诱变的雄性小鼠的后代是通过逆转录病毒插入诱导淋巴细胞起源肿瘤的插入诱变。病毒基因组破坏了潜在的抑制基因，导致其失活，同时造成了一个用于识别插入基因座的标记。标记的癌症基因将被克隆和测序基于吞吐量PCR的技术。随后，将进一步描述其中的一部分将确定它们与其他肿瘤基因的合作（共渗透）。
