A fluorescent in situ hybridization procedure was applied to simultaneously label intranuclear pericentromeric (1q12) sequences of the chromosomes 1 and cytoplasmic ribosomal RNA sequences in whole cells of the promyelocytic HL60 cell line. For this purpose biotinated chromosome 1-specific (1q12) repetitive satellite DNA and 28S ribosomal ssRNA probes were used. The entire procedure was performed in suspension to preserve nuclear morphology. The result was studied by three-dimensional analysis, as provided by a scanning laser confocal microscope. The intracellular positions of both cytoplasmic rRNA and intranuclear centromere 1 DNA could easily be distinguished. This approach could be useful as a framework for the study of the 3-D localization of genes and gene transcripts.

Background: The chromosome 1q12 region harbors the genome's largest pericentromeric heterochromatin domain that includes tandemly repeated satellite III DNA [SatIII (1)]. Increased SatIII (1) copy numbers have been found in cultured human skin fibroblasts (HSFs) during replicative senescence. The aim of this study was to analyze the variation in SatIII (1) abundance in cultured HSFs at early passages depending on the levels of endogenous and exogenous stress.

The fragment of satellite III (f-SatIII) is located in pericentromeric heterochromatin of chromosome 1. Cell with an enlarged f-SatIII block does not respond to various stimuli and are highly stress-susceptible. The fraction of f-SatIII in the cells of schizophrenia patients changed during antipsychotic therapy.

Pericentromeric heterochromatin is maintained in a condensed structure by repressive epigenetic control mechanisms and perturbation of these may cause diseases. The chromosome 1q12 region harbors the largest pericentromeric heterochromatin domain in the genome and is among the most common breakpoints in both solid and hematopoietic cancers. Furthermore, the 1q arm is frequently amplified in cancer and this may support tumorigenesis by increasing the dosage of the many oncogenes of this genomic region.

Patients with multiple myeloma (MM) accumulate adverse copy number aberrations (CNAs), gains of 1q21, and 17p deletions during disease progression. A subset of these patients develops heightened 1q12 pericentromeric instability and jumping translocations of 1q12 (JT1q12), evidenced by increased copy CNAs of 1q21 and losses in receptor chromosomes (RC). To understand the progression of these aberrations we analyzed metaphase cells of 50 patients with ≥4 CNAs of 1q21 by G-banding, locus specific FISH, and spectral karyotyping.
