For investigation of the relation of cell cycle regulation with tumorigenesis in cats, we cloned feline p21WAF1 and p27Kip1 cDNAs and searched for their aberration in feline spontaneous leukemias and lymphomas. The feline p21WAF1 cDNA (pCFW.31) clone obtained from the PCR amplified product appeared to cover approximately 75% of the open reading frame, and showed 81.6% and 76.8% sequence similarities with those of human and mouse counterparts, respectively. The pHFK.5 clone isolated by plaque hybridization contained the whole open reading frame of cat p27Kip1 cDNA encoding 198 amino acids, showing 93.4% and 90.4% sequence similarities with those of human and mouse counterparts, respectively. Southern-blot analyses using these clones as probes did not show any deletion or rearrangement of both the p21WAF1 and p27Kip1 genes in 19 feline spontaneous cases of leukemias and lymphomas examined. RT-PCR/SSCP (single strand conformation polymorphism) analysis of p27Kip1 cDNA indicated that there was no mutation resulting in amino-acid substitution in 10 feline leukemia and lymphoma cases.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007938 Leukemia A progressive, malignant disease of the blood-forming organs, characterized by distorted proliferation and development of leukocytes and their precursors in the blood and bone marrow. Leukemias were originally termed acute or chronic based on life expectancy but now are classified according to cellular maturity. Acute leukemias consist of predominately immature cells; chronic leukemias are composed of more mature cells.

D002415 Cats The domestic cat, Felis catus, of the carnivore family FELIDAE, comprising over 30 different breeds. The domestic cat is descended primarily from the wild cat of Africa and extreme southwestern Asia. Though probably present in towns in Palestine as long ago as 7000 years, actual domestication occurred in Egypt about 4000 years ago.
