BA-treated NP69 cells

Breakpoint

Remarks

0.5 mM BA, pH 7.4

245,527

This chromosome break falls within the AF9 region (at coordinates 245,252–245,612) that was previously reported to translocate with the MLL gene leading to the formation of the MLL-AF9 fusion gene in an ALL patient [GenBank:AM050804].

245,575

This chromosome break falls within the AF9 region (at coordinates 245,252–245,612) that was previously reported to translocate with the MLL gene leading to the formation of the MLL-AF9 fusion gene in an ALL patient [GenBank:AM050804].

245,596

This breakpoint is identical with a breakpoint identified in TWO4 cells treated with BA at pH 7.4. This chromosome break falls within the AF9 region (at coordinates 245,252–245,612) that was previously reported to be involved in the formation of the MLL-AF9 fusion gene in an ALL patient. This breakpoint is three nucleotides different from that reported in cultured normal blood cells treated with VP16 (at coordinate 245,593) [101], five nucleotides different from a breakpoint detected in H2O2-treated NP69 cells (at coordinate 245,591) and six nucleotides different from that identified in H2O2-treated HK1 cells (at coordinate 245,590) [97].

245,649

This chromosome break falls within a repeat ERE2_EH (at coordinates 245,627–245,728).

245,725

This chromosome break falls within a repeat ERE2_EH (at coordinates 245,627–245,728).

245,979

 

0.5 mM BA, pH 5.8

245,621

This breakpoint is nine nucleotides different from that identified in an ALL patient (at coordinate 245,612) [GenBank:AM050804].

245,699

This breakpoint is four nucleotides different from that reported in H2O2-treated NP69 cells (at coordinate 245,703) [97]. This chromosome break falls within a repeat ERE2_EH (at coordinates 245,627–245,728).

245,708

This breakpoint is five nucleotides different from that reported in H2O2-treated NP69 cells (at coordinate 245,703) [97]. This chromosome break falls within a repeat ERE2_EH (at coordinates 245,627–245,728).

245,721

This chromosome break falls within a repeat ERE2_EH (at coordinates 245,627–245,728).

245,809

 

245,994

This breakpoint is six nucleotides different from that reported in H2O2-treated NP69 cells (at coordinate 246,000) [97].
