Chromosomal translocations in tumors Translocation are common in many types of tumors and are often considered primary oncogenic events. Clonal translocations are the hallmark of most B and T cell tumors, but are often present in solid tumors, such as carcinomas and sarcomas. Translocations cause aberrant expression of oncogenes which confers a strong selective advantage but factors influencing frequency of translocations before establishment of cellular selection have not been fully elucidated Mouse Chr12 IgH c-myc Mouse Chr15 Campbell et al. Cell 2011
Factors that influence the occurrence of translocations in tumors Mechanistic Factors 1- DSBs formation and frequency 2- Spatial proximity 3- Intra- or Inter-chromosomal joining (DSB repair pathways) Cellular Selection Oncogenic translocations are subject to cellular selective forces, through elements that influence expression of translocated loci and activation of oncogenic pathways
