Polyethylene glycol-mediated fusion of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells with mouse Cl1D cells produced interspecific somatic cell hybrids which slowly segregated CHO chromosomes. Cytogenetic and isozyme analysis of HAT- and bromodeoxyuridine-selected hybrid subclones and of members of a hybrid clone panel retaining different combinations of CHO chromosomes enabled provisional assignments of the following enzyme loci to CHO chromosomes: TK, GALK, and ACP1 to chromosome 7; TK and GALK to chromosome Z13; ACP1, ADA, and ITPA to chromosome Z8; and ADA and ITPA to chromosome Z9. These genetic markers reflect the origin of each of these Z group chromosomes and indicate the functional activity of alleles located on rearranged chromosomes. Identification of diploid electrophoretic shift mutations for ADA and ITPA was consistent with those observations. Assignment of the functional TK locus in TK+/- CHO-AT3-2 cells indicated that gene deletion may be responsible for TK hemizygosity in this subline.

Gene amplification has been associated with multidrug resistance (MDR) in several drug-resistant Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cell lines which exhibit cross-resistance to other unrelated, cytotoxic drugs. In situ hybridization studies (Teeter et al., J. Cell Biol., in press) suggested the presence of an amplified gene associated with the MDR phenotype on the long arm of either of the largest CHO chromosomes (1 or Z1) in vincristine-resistant cells. In this study, somatic cell hybrids were constructed between these vincristine-resistant CHO cells and drug-sensitive murine cells to determine the functional relationship between the chromosome bearing the amplified sequences and the MDR phenotype. Hybrids exhibited primary drug resistance and MDR in an incomplete dominant fashion. Hybrid clones and subclones segregated CHO chromosomes. Concordant segregation between vincristine resistance, the MDR phenotype, the presence of the MDR-associated amplified sequences, overexpression of the gene located in those sequences, and CHO chromosome Z1 was consistent with the hypothesis that there is an amplified gene on chromosome Z1 of the vincristine-resistant CHO cells which is responsible for the MDR in these cells. A low level of discordance between CHO chromosomes Z8 and 2 and the drug resistance phenotype suggests that these chromosomes may contain genes involved with the MDR phenotype.

Microphotometrical scanning and computer graphic image analysis were carried out to detect the distribution of chromatin densities in subtelomeric segments of T-banded endoreduplicated chromosomes of Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. Chromatin density patterns detected with this method were similar to those previously found in CHO and normal human chromosomes. The highest chromatin densities were considered as marker segments which led to the detection of reciprocal changes of position in endoreduplicated chromosomes during cell spreading on the slide. The problem of the subtelomeric T-banding density patterns found in the endoreduplicated chromosomes and their relation to the structure and molecular composition of this region is briefly discussed.
