Abstract Fizzy-related (fzr) is a recently identified 7WD domain family member implicated in cell cycle regulation of Drosophila and yeast. In this study, the murine homologue of fzr was isolated by suppression subtractive hybridization as a gene with decreased expression during malignant progression of a murine B-lymphoma cell line. Retroviral overexpression of fzr in B-lymphoma cells reduced tumor formation. Those tumors that did arise had diminished or extinguished retroviral Fzr. Surprisingly, fzr overexpression dramatically increased B-lymphoma cell susceptibility to natural killer cell (NK) cytotoxicity, a host-resistant mechanism for tumor formation in this model system. These findings implicate fzr as a new category of genes suppressing B-cell tumorigenesis and suggest a novel role for fzr in the target cell interaction with NK cells.
