DNA copy number changes were characterized by comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) in 18 breast cancer cell lines. In 5 of these, the results were comparable with those from the primary tumors of which the cell lines were established. All of the cell lines showed extensive DNA copy number changes, with a mean of 16.3 +/- 1.1 aberrations per sample (range 7-26). All of the cell lines had a gain at 8q22-qter. Other common gains of DNA sequences occurred at 1q31-32 (89%), 20q12-q13.2 (83%), 8q13 (72%), 3q26.1-qter (67%), 17q21-qter (67%) 5p14 (61%), 6p22 (56%), and 22pter-qter (50%). High-level amplifications were observed in all cell lines; the most frequent minimal common regions were 8q24.1 (89%), 20q12 (61%), 1q41 (39%), and 20p11.2 (28%). Losses were observed less frequently than gains and the minimal common regions of the most frequent losses were Xq11-q12 (56%), Xp11.2-pter (50%), 13q21 (50%), 8p12-pter (44%), 4p13-p14 (39%), 6q15-q22 (39%), and 18q11.2-qter (33%). Although the cell lines showed more DNA copy number changes than the primary tumors, all aberrations, except one found in a primary tumor, were always present in the corresponding cell line. High-level amplifications found both in primary tumors and cell lines were at 1q, 8q, 17q, and 20q. The DNA copy number changes detected in these cell lines can be valuable in investigation of tumor progression in vitro and for a more detailed mapping and isolation of genes implicated in breast cancer.

D009693 Nucleic Acid Hybridization Widely used technique which exploits the ability of complementary sequences in single-stranded DNAs or RNAs to pair with each other to form a double helix. Hybridization can take place between two complimentary DNA sequences, between a single-stranded DNA and a complementary RNA, or between two RNA sequences. The technique is used to detect and isolate specific sequences, measure homology, or define other characteristics of one or both strands.

D005784 Gene Amplification A selective increase in the number of copies of a gene coding for a specific protein without a proportional increase in other genes. It occurs naturally via the excision of a copy of the repeating sequence from the chromosome and its extrachromosomal replication in a plasmid, or via the production of an RNA transcript of the entire repeating sequence of ribosomal RNA followed by the reverse transcription of the molecule to produce an additional copy of the original DNA sequence. Laboratory techniques have been introduced for inducing disproportional replication by unequal crossing over, uptake of DNA from lysed cells, or generation of extrachromosomal sequences from rolling circle replication.
