Outline of Final Research Achievements |
We established some malignant pleural mesothelioma (MPM) cell lines from Japanese patients. Genome-wide array-based comparative genomic hybridization (CGH) analysis of MPMs was performed to identify regions that display DNA copy number alterations. Regions of genomic aberrations observed in > 20% of individuals were 1p36.33, 1p36.1, 1p21.3, 3p21.3, 4q22, 4q34-qter, 6q25, 9p21.3, 10p, 13q33.2, 14q32.13, 18q, and 22q of losses. The 3p21 region contained a gene, BAP1, and we further demonstrated expression of BAP1 with real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) analysis. The established cell line which the BAP1 protein manifestation fell, the expression of mRNA level was depression. Genomic PCR analysis detected homozygous deletion of exon 13-17 in one cell line and shorter fragment in another cell line. One cell line with BAP1 homozygous deletion shows a lack of BAP1 nuclear expression and weak cytoplasmic BAP1 staining. From these results, BAP1 might be a key gene for MPM development.
