Are aneuploidy and chromosome breakage caused by a CINgle mechanism?
Genetic instability is a hallmark of cancer. Most tumors show complex patterns of translocations, amplifications, and deletions, which have occupied scientists for decades. A specific problem arises in carcinomas with a genetic defect termed chromosomal instability; these solid tumors undergo gains and losses of entire chromosomes, as well as segmental defects caused by chromosome breaks. To da...
متن کاملChromosome breakage and repair.
FROM time to time one of my colleagues working at a medical school commiserates with me because I spend 40 hr a year lecturing to undergraduates. I always reply that teaching has compelled me to learn a lot of material that I would not have known about had I taught only my specialized subject. These forays into the ‘‘beyond’’ were instrumental in moving my research in new directions. Three arti...
متن کاملChromosome breakage and ultrasound.
Human lymphocyte cultures were examined for chromosome damage after exposure to ultrasound. Control and treated slides were scored "blind" and showed no evidence of damage due to ultrasound. Neither was there evidence of chromosome damage in blood cultures from six infants whose mothers had ultrasound during pregnancy when compared with that from six infants whose mothers had not. Our results s...
متن کاملThe Fragile Breakage versus Random Breakage Models of Chromosome Evolution
For many years, studies of chromosome evolution were dominated by the random breakage theory, which implies that there are no rearrangement hot spots in the human genome. In 2003, Pevzner and Tesler argued against the random breakage model and proposed an alternative "fragile breakage" model of chromosome evolution. In 2004, Sankoff and Trinh argued against the fragile breakage model and raised...
متن کاملCentrosomes, chromosome instability (CIN) and aneuploidy.
Each time a cell divides its chromosome content must be equally segregated into the two daughter cells. This critical process is mediated by a complex microtubule based apparatus, the mitotic spindle. In most animal cells the centrosomes contribute to the formation and the proper function of the mitotic spindle by anchoring and nucleating microtubules and by establishing its functional bipolar ...
