Abstract

The present study was designed to determine whether loss of heterozygosity (LOH) in the p arm of chromosome 9 in invasive ductal carcinoma of the breast is detected during the neoplastic progression of the disease. Using laser capture microdissection (LCM) epithelial cells were isolated from 14 invasive ductal carcinoma cases (IDC), ductal carcinomas in situ (DCIS), normal mammary lobules, skin and/or lymph nodes of paraffin embedded tissue sections. LOH analysis of chromosome 9p was performed utilizing the microsatellite markers D9S199, D9S157, D9S171, D9S265 and D9S270. The highest frequency of LOH was observed in invasive ductal carcinomas, which reached a maximum at the 9p22-23 chromosomal location (D9S157). In addition, DCIS lesions presented a high frequency of LOH in 9p22-23 (D9S157), followed by 9p21 (D9S171), D9S199 and D9S265, which were similar in frequency to those observed in IDC. A novel finding was the intralesional heterogeneity in LOH within the same DCIS or IDC case. This is an indication that clones of cells that differ in genetic composition coexist in the same lesion. Notably, phenotypically normal breast tissues adjacent to IDC or DCIS exhibited LOH at D9S157 and/or D9S171. Together, these data indicate th...Continue Reading
