Having an irregular number of chromosomes, almost by definition, leads to imbalances in the numbers of proteins expressed
in aneuploid cells.

In short, the suddenly awakened
cells displayed massive genomic instability, quite beyond their simple
aneuploid condition at the start of the experiments.
«We think this rapid evolution could allow the
aneuploid cells to acquire some of the pro-cancer characteristics that might promote cancer development or cause a cancer
in a person to proliferate,» Sheltzer says.
Cells isolated from lungs of infected animals exhibited relatively stable
aneuploid phenotypes and were found to retain their
aneuploid chromosome
in 70 — 80 % of isolates based on multiplex PCR [20 isolates were analyzed from each strain, 15 were
aneuploid for MN35 (75 %), 16 for MN55 (80 %), 14 for MN77 (70 %), and 15 for MN89 (75 %)(Figure S9)-RSB-.
We have also identified a transcriptional signature of aneuploidy that is associated with cellular stress and slow proliferation, and is found
in aneuploid primary and cancer
cells across a host of organisms.
We're working to understand how aneuploidy impacts cancer progression,
in hopes of developing therapies that can specifically eliminate
aneuploid cancers while leaving normal
cells unharmed.
Thus, differences between
aneuploid and euploid
cells may represent crucial therapeutic vulnerabilities
in cancer.
Cole Laboratory publishes new paper
in Cell (10/19/2017)- Chromosome mis - segregation creates
cells with the wrong number of chromosomes (
aneuploid cells).
