Nonrandom chromosome rearrangements, observed in a variety of human and animal tumours1,2, are associated in some cases with enhanced expression or deregulation of cellular oncogenes3,4. Recently, it was shown that normal, diploid rodent cells are neoplastically transformed following transfection with two cooperating oncogenes, for example myc plus ras5–7. However, the number of steps necessary to convert a normal cell into a malignant cell is unknown. If activation of two oncogenes is sufficient for tumorigenicity, tumours derived from diploid cells tranformed by the transfected oncogenes may remain diploid or have only random chromosome alterations. We have performed cytogenetic analyses of tumours formed after transfection of Syrian hamster embryo cells with either v-Ha-ras plus v-myc DNAs or polyoma DNA alone. Whereas polyoma-induced, tumour-derived cells were diploid, tumours induced by v-Ha-ras plus v-myc oncogenes were monoclonal and had a nonrandom chromosome change, monosomy of chromosome 15. Thus, an additional change, loss of chromosome 15, is required for or is advantageous for tumorigenicity induced by v-Ha-ras plus v-myc oncogenes. These results suggest that the neoplastic progression of normal, diploid cells requires more than two steps under certain conditions.
