Abstrakt: Copy number alterations in a matched pair of benign epithelial and prostate cancer cell lines derived from the same patient were assessed using array-based comparative genomic hybridisation (aCGH). The cancer cell line showed a gain of chromosome 7, deletion of chromosome 8, gains (including high level) and losses on chromosome 11, loss of 18p and gain of 20q. Deletions on chromosome 8 were confirmed with microsatellite markers. The aCGH results were compared to gene expression data obtained using DNA microarrays and suggested the involvement of caspases and ICEBERG on 11q and E2F1 on chromosome 20q.Prostate Cancer and Prostatic Diseases (2005) 8, 335–343. doi:10.1038/sj.pcan.4500826; published online 30 August 2005 [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
