X Abstract

Using chromosome painting, a study of chromosomal abnormalities has been performed in two prostatic carcinoma cell lines, PC-3 and DU145. In PC-3, this analysis revealed a highly rearranged hypotriploid karyotype with 54 to 61 chromosomes and numerous rearrangements of chromosomes 1, 3, 5, 8, 10, and 14. At passage 73, DU145 had a hypotriploid karyotype with few rearrangements of chromosomes 1, 3, 5, 12, 13, and 20, whereas at passage 153, this cell line showed a near-tetraploid karyotype with a great number of rearrangements involving chromosomes 3, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 17. A single rearrangement was shared by the 2 cell lines, an i(5)(p10). A comparative genomic hybridization study demonstrated a noticeable amplification of bands 10q22.3-q23 and 14q22-q24 in the PC-3 cell line. No amplification signal was detected for DU145.
