Abstract

As an in vitro assay system for the identification of human imprinted genes, a library of human/mouse A9 monochromosomal hybrids containing a single, intact bsr-tagged human chromosome of known parental origin, derived from normal human fibroblasts, has been previously generated by microcell-mediated chromosome transfer (MMCT). To supplement this assay system, we constructed additional 700 A9 monochromosomal hybrids, using a pSTneo or pPGKneo selection marker. To validate the A9 hybrids, we screened them with chromosome-specific polymorphic markers, and identified the hybrids containing either human chromosome 6, 7, 14, 18, or 21 of known parental origin. Matching paternal and maternal chromosome pairs of A9 hybrids were identified for chromosomes 6, 7, 14, and 18. The paternal-specific expression of ZAC (zinc finger protein, which regulates apoptosis and cell cycle arrest) and HYMAI (hydatidiform mole-associated and imprinted transcript), and the maternal-specific methylation of a CpG island within an imprinted domain on human chromosome 6q24, were maintained in A9 hybrids. For an example, we profiled the expression of expressed sequence tags (ESTs) and the methylation of CpG islands in the 300-kb imprinted domain around 6q24, which may be associated with cancers and transient neonatal diabetes mellitus (TNDM). Thus, the 700 A9 hybrids should be useful for various aspects of imprinting studies.
