Quinacrine Fluorescence

The fluorescent banding patterns of quinacrine-stained metaphase chromosomes have been studied in 2 related mouse cell lines, A9 and a malignant derivative of A9, A9HT. In both cell lines virtually every chromosome has a distinctive banding pattern which permits its recognition. More than three quarters of the chromosomes have structural rearrangements, but the origin of nearly two thirds of the chromosomes could be determined by their banding patterns. The quinacrine fluorescence technique permits far more detailed characterization and comparison of heteroploid cell lines than any previous method. A9 and A9HT are karyologically quite similar, with many of the same marker chromosomes. There are, however, characteristic differences. A9HT, although it has a smaller average number of chromosomes per cell, appears to be more heterogeneous.

ABSTRACT The chromosomes involved in the T(2;4)Sn (formerly designated T(5;8) Sn) or Snell translocation in the mouse have been identified as numbers 2 and 4 by analysis of the fluorescent banding patterns of quinacrine mustard-stained chromosomes in primary cultures from heterozygous and homozygous embryos.

C-banded slides stained with DAPI or chromomycin A3 show different banding patterns between human and L929 mouse cell line metaphase chromosomes, which are also different from those obtained with standard Giemsa C-banding or fluorochrome staining. Human metaphase chromosomes pretreated for C-banding and stained with DAPI show simultaneous C– and DA–DAPI banding patterns, whilst the mouse metaphase chromosomes show both C-banding and G/Q banding like patterns. However, the chromomycin A3 staining of pre-C-banded metaphase chromosomes reveals conspicuous R-banding in man that is absent in mouse. Chromatin species-specific structural factors would explain these results, which prevent simple comparisons of R-, G-, and C-bands among different organisms. The markers induced by this technique may be of practical use for chromosome identification in human–mouse somatic cell hybridization cultures.Key words: mammalian cytogenetics, chromosome structure, chromosome banding, fluorochrome staining.

We have shown previously that isotope-labelled nucleotides in human metaphase chromosomes can be detected and mapped by imaging secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS), using the University of Chicago high resolution scanning ion microprobe (UC SIM). These early studies, conducted with BrdU- and 14C-thymidine-labelled chromosomes via detection of the Br and 28CN- (14C14N-> labelcarrying signals, provided some evidence for the condensation of the label into banding patterns along the chromatids (SIMS bands) reminiscent of the well known Q- and G-bands obtained by conventional staining methods for optical microscopy. The potential of this technique has been greatly enhanced by the recent upgrade of the UC SIM, now coupled to a high performance magnetic sector mass spectrometer in lieu of the previous RF quadrupole mass filter. The high transmission of the new spectrometer improves the SIMS analytical sensitivity of the microprobe better than a hundredfold, overcoming most of the previous imaging limitations resulting from low count statistics.

Abstract The TCF-1 gene encodes a putative transcription factor with affinity for a sequence motif occurring in a number of T-cell enhancers. TCF-1 mRNA was originally found to be expressed in a T cell-specific fashion within a set of human and mouse cell lines. In contrast, expression reportedly occurs in multiple nonlymphoid tissues during murine embryogenesis. We have now raised a monoclonal antibody to document expression and biochemistry of the human TCF-1 protein. As expected, the TCF-1 protein was detectable only in cell lines of T lineage. Its expression was always restricted to the nucleus. Immunohistochemistry on a panel of human tissues revealed that the TCF-1 protein was found exclusively in thymocytes and in CD3+ T cells in peripheral lymphoid tissues. Western blotting yielded a set of bands ranging from 25 kD to 55 kD, resulting from extensive alternative splicing. The TCF-1 protein was detectable in all samples of a set of 22 T-cell malignancies of various stages of maturation, but was absent from a large number of other hematologic neoplasms. These observations imply a T cell-specific function for TCF-1, a notion corroborated by recent observations on Tcf-1 knock-out mice. In addition, these results indicate that nuclear TCF-1 expression can serve as a pan-T-lineage marker in the diagnosis of lymphoid malignancies.

Various factors involved in the production of "Q-bands" have been studied. It was found that a Zeiss standard WL fluorescent microscope required a shorter exposure time for photography as compared to a Zeiss photomicroscope. The minimal exposure time was obtained when the standard WL microscope was equipped with a UV light source containing a DC powered mercury burner and a concave mirror. Further, the pH and type of water used in the staining, washing and mounting of the slide were also important factors in producing clear and well differentiated "Q-bands". It also appears that the factors involved in the production of "Q-bands" effect the enhancement or quenching of fluorescence by poly d(A-T).poly d(A-T) and salmon sperm DNA or poly dG∙poly dC respectively. This preliminary report also suggests that DNA or polynucleotides with a specific base sequence may play an important role in Q-banding patterns on chromosomes.
