Abstract
Several primary and transformed human cell lines derived from cancer prone patients are employed routinely for biochemical and DNA repair studies. Since transformation leads to some chromosomal instability a cytogenetic analysis of spontaneous chromosome aberrations in fibroblast cell lines derived from patients with Fanconi anaemia (FA), ataxia telangiectasia (AT), and in lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from patients with Bloom's syndrome (BS), was undertaken. Unstable aberrations were analysed in Giemsa stained preparations and the chromosome painting technique was used for evaluating the frequencies of stable aberrations (translocations). In addition, the frequency of sister-chromatid exchanges (SCEs) was determined in differentially stained metaphases. The SV40-transformed fibroblasts from these cell lines have higher frequencies of unstable aberrations than the primary fibroblasts. In the four lymphoblastoid cell lines derived from BS patients higher frequencies of spontaneously occurring chromosomal aberrations in comparison to normal TK6wt cells were also evident. The frequency of spontaneously occurring chromosome translocations was determined with fluorescence in situ hybridisation (FISH) and using DNA libraries specific for chromosomes 1, 2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 11, 14, 19, 20 and X. The translocation levels were found to be elevated for primary FA fibroblasts and lymphoblastoid cells derived from BS patients in comparison with control cell lines, hetero- and homozygote BS cell lines not differing in this respect. The SV40-transformed cell lines showed very high frequencies of translocations independent of their origin and almost every cell contained at least one translocation. In addition, clonal translocations were found in transformed control TK6wt and AT cell lines for chromosomes 20 and 14, respectively. The spontaneous frequencies of SCEs were similar in transformed fibroblasts derived from normal individuals and AT patients, whereas in SV40-transformed FA cells these were higher (4-fold). Among cell lines derived from BS patients, heterozygote lines behaved like control, whereas in homozygote cell lines very high frequencies of SCEs (about 12-fold) were evident.
