Loss of Heterozygosity on Chromosomes 3p, 8p, 9p and 17p in the Progression of Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Larynx

چکیده
Previous molecular genetic studies of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (SCC)have shown certain chromosomal regions with recurring alterations. But studies of sequential molecular alterations and genetic progression model of laryngeal SCC have not been clearly defined. To identify the chromosomal alterations associated with the carcinogenesis of laryngeal SCC, we analyzed genomic DNA from microdissected squamous metaplasia, squamous dysplasia, invasive SCC, and metastatic carcinoma samples from 22 laryngeal SCC patients for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) at microsatellite loci. Ten microsatellite markers on chromosome 3p, 8p, 9p, and 17p were used. LOH at 9p21 was observed in the all stages including squamous metaplasia, squamous dysplasia, invasive SCC and metastatic carcinoma. LOH at 17p13.1, 3p25 and 3p14.2 was observed from the squamous dysplasia, invasive SCC and metastatic carcinoma. LOH at 8p21.3-p22 was observed mainly from the invasive SCC and metastatic carcinoma. The results suggest that 9p21 in the early event, 17p13.1, 3p25 and 3p14.2 in the intermediate event and 8p21.3- p22 in the late event may be involved in the laryngeal carcinogenesis.

Sequential loss of heterozygosity at microsatellite motifs in preinvasive and invasive head and neck squamous carcinoma.
Studies of sequential molecular alterations in noninvasive and invasive head and neck squamous carcinoma are few in number. Consequently, the genetic changes associated with the neoplastic transformation of these carcinomas have not been defined. To identify chromosomal alterations in preinvasive and invasive head and neck squamous carcinoma, we analyzed DNA from microdissected normal squamous ...

Comparative genomic hybridization was performed on 30 primary head and neck squamous cell carcinomas. Fractional or entire DNA loss of chromosome 3p was a basic finding that occurred in 29 cases (97%). Additional DNA underrepresentations were observed in more than 50% of the cases on chromosomes 1p, 4, 5q, 6q, 8p, 9p, 11q, 13q, 18q, and 21q. Deletions on chromosomes 3p, 13q, and 17p were confir...

PURPOSE A larynx squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) is one of the most common forms of cancer and may exhibit various complex karyotypes. MATERIALS AND METHODS We used comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) to analyze DNA gains and losses in 15 squamous cell carcinomas that consisted of 4 glottic, 10 supraglottic, and 1 transglottic localization samples. RESULTS The majority of the chromosomal...

One of the best approaches to identifying genetic changes critical to oral cancer progression is to compare progressing and nonprogressing oral premalignant lesions. However, such samples are rare, and they require long-term follow-up. The current study used the large archive network and clinical database in British Columbia to study loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in cases of early oral premalign...
