Osteosarcoma is the most frequent childhood bone cancer (Tebbi, C. K., and Gaeta, J. Pediatr. Ann., 17:285-300, 1988). Using Southern blot mapping, we found that 11 of 60 (18%) osteosarcomas had altered restriction patterns of the p53 gene and that six of these had loss of the other p53 allele. In contrast, no alteration of the p53 gene was detected in 50 samples from other types of sarcomas. Fifty % of osteosarcoma cell lines (4 of 8) also had gross rearrangements of one p53 allele with loss of the second allele, and these had no detectable p53 mRNA. Osteosarcoma cell lines with no detectable alteration of the p53 gene contained abundant p53 transcripts. Taken together, data show that human osteosarcomas can have rearrangements of the p53 gene; these rearrangements may cause loss of normal constraints on cellular growth.
