Abstract

Previous analysis of the monoblastic cell line U937 has shown that several sublines contain a rearranged chromosome arm 11q. In order to determine the true nature of the rearrangement, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was carried out with various combinations of single copy anonymous markers, clones containing genes, a chromosome 10 paint, and an 11 centromere specific sequence. The rearrangement was deduced to be a reciprocal translocation between chromosomes 10 and 11 described as t(10;11)(p13-14;q14-21). The breakpoint on chromosome 11 is telomeric to the INT2 gene and the pHS11 probe at 11q13, and centromeric to the marker D11S36 localized to 11q14.3-q22.1 and the MLL gene at 11q23. Similar translocations have been reported in various acute leukemias, principally of the monocytic lineage, and also in T-cell precursor acute lymphocytic leukemias. Further characterization of the genetic rearrangements in U937 may lead to the isolation of genes important in leukemogenesis and provide an in vitro system for their study.

Blood And Marrow Transplantation

The use of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation or blood and marrow transplantation (bmt) is on the increase worldwide. BMT is used to replace damaged or destroyed bone marrow with healthy bone marrow stem cells. Here is the latest research on bone and marrow transplantation.
