ABSTRACT Common fragile sites are loci that form chromosome gaps or breaks when DNA synthesis is partially inhibited. Fragile sites are prone to deletions, translocations, and other rearrangements that can cause the inactivation of associated tumor suppressor genes in cancer cells. It was previously shown that ATR is critical to fragile-site stability and that ATR-deficient cells have greatly elevated fragile-site expression (A. M. Casper, P. Nghiem, M. F. Arlt, and T. W. Glover, Cell 111:779-789, 2002). Here we demonstrate that mouse and human cells deficient for BRCA1, due to mutation or knockdown by RNA interference, also have elevated fragile-site expression. We further show that BRCA1 functions in the induction of the G2/M checkpoint after aphidicolin-induced replication stalling and that this checkpoint function is involved in fragile-site stability. These data indicate that BRCA1 is important in fragile-site stability and that fragile sites are recognized by the G2/M checkpoint pathway, in which BRCA1 plays a key role. Furthermore, they suggest that mutations in BRCA1 or interacting proteins could lead to rearrangements at fragile sites in cancer cells.

Clinical relevance, purification techniques and molecular characterization of minimal residual cancer cells (MRCC) is a controversial topic in the literature. An analytical concept including a novel isolation procedure and a panel of tests for DNA and RNA typing of MRCCs is described and clinically evaluated in this paper. The purification procedure exploiting the physical characteristics of MRCCs shows superior performance leading to >50% pure and viable tumor cells. Proof of the presence and purity of MRCCs in an isolated sample is given by multiparametric DNA typing (amplifications, mutations, losses of heterozygosity). On the basis of the proven presence of MRCCs tumor-relevant mRNAs can be adequately analyzed by normalized quantitative real-time RT-PCR. The molecular characterization of MRCCs isolated from blood of breast cancer patients could have a strong clinical impact on prognostication, drug targeting and therapy monitoring.
