Polysomy of chromosome 7 is correlated with overexpression of the erbB oncogene in human glioblastoma cell lines

Abstract

Chromosome analysis in a series of human glioblastoma cell lines (HeRo, HeRo-SV1, A172, T406, T508, T705) has indicated characteristic changes in the karyotype, the most striking and consistent of which is a significant increase in the copy number of chromosome 7, with up to 8 copies per metaphase. As determined by Spurr et al., chromosome 7 represents the genomic locus for the oncogene erbB (7pter-q22). Therefore, we have compared the number of chromosomes 7 to the levels of expression of the erbB oncogene. Interestingly, in all of them erbB-specific mRNA was found to be increased at levels even higher than expected from the number of chromosomes 7 found. In contrast, in an astrocytoma of slightly lower grade of malignancy (cell line T567), neither polysomy 7 nor significant expression of the erbB oncogene was noted.
