摘要

The development of double-minute chromosomes (DMs) and subsequent gene amplification are important genomic alterations resulting in increased oncogene expression in a variety of tumors. The molecular mechanisms mediating the development of these acentric extrachromosomal elements have not been completely defined. To elucidate the mechanisms involved in DM formation, we have developed strategies to map amplified circular DM DNA. In this study, we present a long-range restriction map of a 980-kb DM. A cell line cloned from mouse EMT-6 cells was developed by stepwise selection for resistance to methotrexate. This cloned cell line contains multiple copies of the 980-kb DM carrying the dihydrofolate reductase (DHFR) gene. A long-range restriction map was developed in which a hypomethylated CpG-rich region near the DHFR gene served as a landmark. This strategy was combined with plasmid-like analysis of ethidium bromide-stained pulsed-field gels and indicated that a single copy of the DHFR gene was located near a hypomethylated region containing SsII and NotI sites. At least 490 kb of this DM appears to be composed of unrearranged chromosomal DNA.
