Bethesda, Maryland 20892 ABSTRACT MEN] is a tumor suppressor gene (9—11).MEN1 patients are hypoth esized to inherit a mutation in one copy of the gene, and susceptible Endocrine tumors (ETs) of pancreas and duodenum occur sporadically cells in the target organs are transformed through the inactivation of and as a part of multiple endocrine neoplasia type 1 (MEN1). The MENJ the wild-type copy of the gene, potentially occurring via point muta tumor suppressor gene has been localized to chromosome 11q13 by link age analysis but has not yet isolated. Previous alleic deletion studies in tions, deletions, or gene methylation (6, 7, 10, 11). Sporadic parathy enteropancreatic ETs suggested MENJ gene involvement in tumorigenesis roid and enteropancreatic ETs have also been described to exhibit of familial pancreatic ETs (nongastrinomas) and sporadic gastrinomas. somatic LOH of chromosome 11 loci, including the MEN] region, However, only a few MEN1-associated duodenal gastrinomas and spo suggesting the role of the MEN] gene in the pathogenesis of such radic pancreatic nongastrinomas have been investigated. We used tissue tumors(12—19). microdissection to analyze 95 archival pancreatic and duodenal ETs and Allelic deletions on chromosome 11q13 have been reported in metastases from 50 patients for loss of heterozygosity (LOH) on 11q13 63—100%of MEN1-associated parathyroid tumors and in 25—35%of with 10 polymorphic markers spanning the area of the putative MENI sporadic parathyroid tumors (1 1—13,20). However, previous studies gene.

Analysis of LOH on !!q!3 showed different dele associated gastrinomas have been reported in the literature to date, and don patterns in ETs from different MEN! patients and in multiple tumors three tumors demonstrated retention of heterozygosity on 11q13 (17, from Individual MEN! patients. The present results suggest that the 19, 24), whereas one gastrmnoma showed a small deletion at marker MENJ gene plays a role in all four tumor types The lower rate of 1!q!3 PYGM (13). Thus, the role of the MEN] gene in enteropancreatic LOH in MEN!-associated and sporadic gastrinomas and sporadic instill endocrine tumorigenesis remains controversial. nomas as compared to MEN! nongastrinomas may reflect alternative We used tissue microdissection to analyze 95 archival duodenal and genetic pathways for the development of these tumors or mechanisms of pancreatic ETs and metastases for LOH on 11q13. The goal was to the MENJ gene inactivation that do not involve large deletions. The investigate the frequency of allelic loss at the MEN] gene locus in isolation of the MENJ gene is necessary to further define its role in tumongenesis of MEN1-associated and sporadic enteropancreatic pathogenesis of pancreatic and duodenal ETs.

In addition, X-chromosome inactivation analysis of six synchro nous primary duodenal microgastrinomas in one FMEN1 female INTRODUCTION patient was performed to investigate clonality of MEN 1-associated gastrinomas, and the results were correlated with the LOH data. ETs2 of pancreas and duodenum may occur sporadically (I) or in association with inherited syndromes such as MEN1 (2).
