Abstract

The erythroleukemia induced by Friend virus complex in adult mice is a multistage malignancy characterized by the emergence, late in the disease, of tumorigenic cell clones. We have previously shown that a significant proportion of these clones have unique rearrangements in their cellular p53 oncogene. The clonal relationships among Friend tumor cells isolated in the late stages of Friend erythroleukemia were analyzed by examining the unique integration site of Friend murine leukemia virus and the unique rearrangement in their cellular p53 oncogene. The majority of clones isolated from individual mice infected with Friend virus were clonally related as judged by the site of Friend murine leukemia virus integration. However, Southern gel analysis of DNA from individual Friend cell clones indicated that all of the clones with a normal p53 gene from the same mice were clonally related, but were unrelated to the Friend cell lines with a rearranged p53 gene. These results suggest that Friend tumor cells with rearrangements in their p53 gene arise as the result of a unique transformation event, rather than by progression from already existing tumor cells with a normal p53 gene. They also suggest that such rearrangements in the p53 gene confer a strong selective advantage to these cells in vivo.
