Abstract
Genetic alterations occurring in various chromosomes have been described in many human tumors. The DCC gene was originally identified in colorectal cancer and was reported as a tumor suppressor gene that might be related to tumor metastasis. We investigated 10 cell lines and 15 fresh tumors of childhood rhabdomyosarcoma, 7 cell lines of Ewing's sarcoma, and 4 cell lines of primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET) for the expression and mutation of DCC gene by RT-PCR analysis and PCR-single stranded conformation polymorphism (SSCP) analysis. Twenty-five pairs of primers were used for PCR-SSCP. Six of ten (60%) cell lines of rhabdomyosarcoma and 3 of 7 (43%) cell lines of Ewing's sarcoma showed reduced or absent expression of DCC gene. There was no mobility shift within 24 exons by SSCP analysis, although 3 types of polymorphism were found at codon 201 in exon 3. Direct sequencing of different bands showed types I, II, and I/II representative of codon 201Gly, codon 201Arg, and codon 201Gly/Arg, respectively. The proportion of type I between fresh rhabdomyosarcoma and normal controls was not significant. Our results suggested that the inactivation of DCC gene may play a role in the pathogenesis of a subset of rhabdomyosarcoma and Ewing's sarcoma.
