Telomeres respond to aneuploidy by generating stress signals that suppress the proliferation
of aneuploid cells.
Not exact matches
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.
Having an irregular number
of chromosomes, almost by definition, leads to imbalances in the numbers
of proteins expressed in
aneuploid cells.
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 demonstrated that aneuploidy can function as a novel source
of genomic instability, as
aneuploid cells tend to display elevated levels
of mutation, mitotic recombination, and chromosome loss.
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.
Wing primordia subjected to CIN are characterised by tumor - like overgrowths, metastatic behavior and malignancy to the host upon blockade
of the apoptotic machinery, and this tumorigenic response relies mainly on the production
of highly
aneuploid cells that delaminate from the epithelium and activate a JNK - dependent transcriptional response.
Using a series
of genetically - matched euploid and
aneuploid cell lines, we have demonstrated that aneuploidy can paradoxically function as a barrier to tumor growth.
Cole Laboratory publishes new paper in
Cell (10/19/2017)- Chromosome mis - segregation creates
cells with the wrong number
of chromosomes (
aneuploid cells).
