Alterations of the recently cloned fragile histidine triad (FHIT) gene at chromosome 3p14.2 are frequent in a variety of solid tumours and cancer cell lines. Based on these findings, FHIT has been proposed as a putative tumour-suppressor gene. We evaluated the mRNA expression of the FHIT gene in samples from 55 patients with various haematological malignancies (21 AML, 8 CML, 10 CLL, seven low-grade and nine high-grade Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas), in a panel of 16 leukaemia cell lines, in normal mature haematopoietic cells of both myeloid and lymphoid lineage, as well as in CD34+ haematopoietic progenitor cells. Aberrant FHIT mRNA transcripts were observed in 14/16 (88%) leukaemia cell lines, 43/55 (78%) primary haematological neoplasms, but also in 17/22 (77%) normal controls. 1/16 (6%) cell lines and 7/55 (13%) neoplasms did not express any FHIT mRNA. cDNA sequencing revealed exonic deletions, small DNA insertions and combinations of both. Analysis of genomic DNA showed gene deletions in two myeloid leukaemia cell lines. In contrast to all normal types of haematopoietic cells, FHIT protein was clearly reduced or absent in 8/18 (44%) neoplastic samples tested. Our data indicate that whilst aberrant FHIT mRNA transcripts are seen both in normal and malignant cells, lack of FHIT protein is restricted to leukaemia. Absent FHIT protein expression might contribute to leukaemogenesis.
