Hipk2 cooperates with p53 to suppress γ-ray radiation-induced mouse thymic lymphoma
A genome-wide screen for genetic alterations in radiation-induced thymic lymphomas generated from p53 +/− and p53 −/− mice showed frequent loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 6. Fine mapping of these LOH regions revealed three non-overlapping regions, one of which was refined to a 0.2 Mb inte...

| Zusammenfassung: | A genome-wide screen for genetic alterations in radiation-induced thymic lymphomas generated from
p53
+/− and
p53
−/− mice showed frequent loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on chromosome 6. Fine mapping of these LOH regions revealed three non-overlapping regions, one of which was refined to a 0.2 Mb interval that contained only the gene encoding homeobox-interacting protein kinase 2 (
Hipk2
). More than 30% of radiation-induced tumors from both
p53
+/− and
p53
−/− mice showed heterozygous loss of one
Hipk2
allele. Mice carrying a single inactive allele of
Hipk2
in the germline were susceptible to induction of tumors by γ-radiation, but most tumors retained and expressed the wild-type allele, suggesting that
Hipk2
is a haploinsufficient tumor suppressor gene for mouse lymphoma development. Heterozygous loss of both
Hipk2
and
p53
confers strong sensitization to radiation-induced lymphoma. We conclude that
Hipk2
is a haploinsufficient lymphoma suppressor gene. |
