Abstract

Mybl2encodes a transcription factor that is thought to play an important role in cell cycle progression. Here we report the chromosomal localization ofMybl2in mouse and human. Using mouseMybl2cDNA clones as probes, we assignedMybl2in an interspecific backcross panel to distal Chromosome 2. Using human cDNA probes in combination with FISH analysis, we localizedMYBL2to chromosome 20q13.1, a region that is commonly deleted in myeloid disorders. Both chromosomal regions are highly homologous, and the map positions, therefore, confirm each other. However, our findings are in contrast to a previous report by Barlettaet al.(Cancer Res.51: 3821–3824, 1991) that placed theMYBL2gene on human chromosome Xq13.

    Pgrn is highly expressed in aggressive cancer cell lines and tissues, including ovarian cancer [48]. The MYBL2 (20q13.1) gene belongs to the MYB family of transcription factor genes and plays an essential role during cell cycle progression [49]. The gene was detected as amplified in a small fraction of breast cancers [50,51].

    However gains of 20q have been observed in solid tumors such as colorectal carcinoma,41,42 breast,43 bladder,44 ovarian,45 and pancreatic cancer.46 Several candidate genes have been identified on 20q: the cellular apoptosis susceptibility (CAS) gene;47 BTAK, a putative serine/threonine kinase gene;48 AIB1, a steroid receptor co-activator gene;49 PTPN1, a nonreceptor tyrosine phosphatase involved in growth regulation;50 as well as MYB12, which encodes a transcription factor and plays an important role in cell cycle progression.51 Regarding gene amplifications, CGH studies are detecting an increased number of high-level DNA amplifications in lymphomas, which were relatively rare in NHL by cytogenetic studies.52
