DNA sequence associated with chromosome translocations in mouse plasmacytomas

L J Harris et al. Proc Natl Acad Sci U S A. 1982 Nov.

Abstract

A DNA sequence that generates aberrantly rearranged immunoglobulin heavy chain constant region genes in murine plasmacytomas is shown to participate in a chromosome translocation. We have previously termed this DNA sequence NIARD for non-immunoglobulin-associated rearranging DNA. NIARD rearrangements were found frequently in murine plasmacytomas but were not detected in normal lymphocytes. These rearrangements occasionally involve the switch region of the C alpha gene. In this study, DNA samples obtained from mouse-Chinese hamster somatic cell hybrid lines were digested with various restriction endonucleases and analyzed by the Southern transfer technique with a NIARD hybridization probe. These experiments show that NIARD resides on chromosome 15 in the mouse germ line. Since NIARD is found adjacent to the C alpha gene (located on chromosome 12) in some plasmacytomas, it is apparent that a translocation involving these two chromosomes has occurred. We have proposed a rcpT(12;15) model to explain our data. The implications of NIARD rearrangements for malignant transformation are discussed.
