Abstract: "In this study, [investigators] use live cell imaging and clonal cell analyses to evaluate the fidelity of chromosome segregation in chromosomally stable and unstable human cells." |
| Comments |
P.669 left column: "Chromosome missegregation rates in three aneuploid tumor cell lines with CIN [chromosomal instability] range from ∼0.3 to ∼1.0% per chromosome (Fig. 3 C). Depending on the modal chromosome number in each cell line, these cells missegregate a chromosome every cell division (Caco2), every other cell division (MCF-7), or every fifth cell division (HT29). Thus, induction of merotely in otherwise near-diploid cells increases the chromosome missegregation rate to levels equivalent to those of aneuploid tumor cells with CIN." |
