Despite impressive advances in the clinical management of Hodgkin's disease, little is known about its cellular origin or the mechanism(s) of "Hodgkinogenesis." Recent findings that certain human cellular oncogenes can cause malignant transformation suggest that aberrant activation of these genes may play a role in carcinogenesis. To determine if such genes are operative in Hodgkin's cells, we isolated DNA from splenic nodules of three patients with nodular sclerosis Hodgkin's disease and tested its ability to transform mouse NIH 3T3 cells, the standard assay for oncogene-mediated malignant transformation. Transformed cells containing human DNA were obtained from two patients. DNA from these primary transformants yielded secondary transformants of NIH 3T3 fibroblasts; one also transformed normal mouse bone marrow macrophages, a cell type probably related to the Hodgkin's cell. When analyzed by Southern blot methods for homology with closed oncogene probes, the transforming genes from both patients had homology with N-ras. The homology and size of the restriction fragments were similar to those of transforming genes isolated from patients with acute nonlymphocytic leukemias. The presence of the same activated oncogene in tumor tissue from two different patients suggests that it may play an important role in Hodgkinogenesis.
