Molecular cytogenetic analysis of several sporadic papillary renal cell carcinomas and of their xenografts in immunodeficient mice had previously allowed us to delimit a minimal overrepresented region of chromosome 7 shared by all of them to band 7q31. We have refined the location of the overlapping region to the junction of the subbands 7q31.2 and 7q31.3 by reverse painting with two differently labelled probes prepared from the small chromosome 7 derivatives microdissected from the cells of two distinct tumours. This small region was shown to contain the MET proto-oncogene, present at three to four copies per cell as determined by Southern blot analysis. The increased copy number of the MET gene was found to be associated with its overexpression at the mRNA level. However, no change in MET copy number or expression level was observed in the cells from two xenografted tumours serially transplanted into immunodeficient mice, as compared to those from the corresponding initial tumours. Our results indicate that expression of the MET proto-oncogene above a critical threshold is required for the maintenance of the tumorigenic phenotype of at least some papillary renal cell carcinomas, but does not further increase during tumour progression.
