Atm-deficient mice (Atm / )
recapitulate many aspects of the ataxia telangiectasia (AT) syndrome,
including the susceptibility to tumors of lymphoid origin. To
investigate the mechanism of tumorigenesis, we have examined a panel of
8 thymic lymphomas from Atm / mice. All
Atm / tumors are of thymic lymphoblastoid
origin, display an immature CD3 and
CD4+/CD8+ phenotype, and arise coincident with
V(D)J recombination. Cytogenetically, all tumors are diploid or near
diploid but exhibit multiple chromosome aberrations with an average of
4 abnormal chromosomes per tumor. All the tumors revealed chromosome 14 rearrangements precisely at the T-cell receptor /
(Tcr / ) locus, suggesting the involvement of V(D)J
recombination in these translocations. In addition, 11.5% of
Atm / peripheral T cells showed chromosome
14 translocations, suggesting that rearrangements at the
Tcr / locus occur early during tumor development in
the absence of ATM. However, additional genetic aberrations are required for tumorigenesis. For example, translocations involving chromosome 12, often with chromosome 14 (more than 60%), and
partial or complete trisomy of chromosome 15, with copy number increases of the c-myc oncogene were frequently observed.
These observations suggest that ATM is required for normal
rearrangement of the Tcr / locus but not for V(D)J
recombination at other loci. The mechanisms that lead to tumorigenesis
may be due to the involvement of ATM in monitoring
double-stranded DNA breaks.
