Theodor Boveri (1862-1915) is often credited with suggesting (in 1914) the first chromosomal theory of cancer, especially in terms of abnormal numbers of chromosomes arising in cells by multipolar mitoses in adult cells. However, multipolar mitoses in animal cells had been described as early as 1875, and Hansemann (1858-1920), in publications between 1890 and 1919, included this mechanism among various ways by which abnormal chromosome numbers might arise in cells and cause tumour formation. Both theories were conceived in a period when gametogenic ideas of tumour formation were current. Boveri based his theory on the observation that some cells in early sea urchin embryos having abnormal chromosome complements wander from their usual developmental paths. His observation may have been seen by other authors at the time as support for Cohnheim's "embryonic cell rest" theory of cancer. Hansemann's contribution is seen as both the original, and the more significant of the chromosomal theories of cancer. 相似文献

Chromosomal changes induced by chrysotile fibres or benzo-3,4-pyrene in rat pleural mesothelial cells 总被引:6,自引:0,他引:6
The induction of chromosomal aberrations in rat pleural mesothelial cells (RPMC) following in vitro treatment with chrysotile fibres has been demonstrated. The production of chromosomal aberrations was also observed after treatment of the cells with benzo-3,4-pyrene (BP). The yield of abnormal metaphases was dose-dependent and reached 58% at a BP dose of 2 micrograms/ml. Chrysotile fibres at 7 micrograms/ml induced 21% abnormal metaphases and the frequency decreased with further increases in fibre concentration. Their decline is possibly related to a lethal effect. Chrysotile-induced chromosomal aberrations were primarily of the chromatid type and included breaks and fragments. BP induced chromosome exchanges which were not seen following chrysotile treatment. Minutes and double minutes were detected in BP-treated RPMC and occasionally found after chrysotile application. These results confirm that chrysotile fibres are clastogenic for some cultured cells and demonstrate that the fibres induce chromosome damage in target RPMC. 相似文献

In this study, the genotoxic effects of gemcitabine and topotecan were investigated in mouse bone marrow cells using the micronucleus and chromosomal aberration test systems. Gemcitabine increased the frequency of micronuclei, particularly at the median dose for the 24-, 36-, and 48-h sampling intervals. It had cytotoxic effects on the bone marrow and decreased the polychromatic/normochromatic erythrocyte ratio dose-dependently for all sampling intervals. Gemcitabine significantly decreased the mitotic index at the 24-h time point. It increased the number of abnormal cells and induced a significant increase in total chromosomal aberrations. For the 6-h sampling time, gemcitabine neither induced chromosomal aberrations nor reduced the mitotic index. Topotecan also induced high levels of micronuclei, particularly for the 24- and 36-h sampling times and it decreased the polychromatic/normochromatic erythrocyte ratio for all sampling intervals, which is indicative of bone marrow cytotoxicity. The bone marrow metaphase analysis showed that topotecan significantly elevated the number of abnormal metaphases and total chromosomal aberrations at 6 and 24h, in a dose-dependent manner. It also decreased the mitotic index for both sampling intervals. In conclusion, the results of this study indicate that the two chemotherapeutics gemcitabine and topotecan have cytotoxic and genotoxic effects in mouse bone marrow. 相似文献

Numerical chromosomal imbalances are a common feature of spontaneous abortions. However, the incidence of mosaic forms of chromosomal abnormalities has not been evaluated. We have applied interphase multicolor fluorescence in situ hybridization using original DNA probes for chromosomes 1, 9, 13, 14, 15, 16, 18, 21, 22, X, and Y to study chromosomal abnormalities in 148 specimens of spontaneous abortions. We have detected chromosomal abnormalities in 89/148 (60.1%) of specimens. Among them, aneuploidy was detected in 74 samples (83.1%). In the remaining samples, polyploidy was detected. The mosaic forms of chromosome abnormality, including autosomal and sex chromosomal aneuploidies and polyploidy (31 and 12 cases, respectively), were observed in 43/89 (48.3%) of specimens. The most frequent mosaic form of aneuploidy was related to chromosome X (19 cases). The frequency of mosaic forms of chromosomal abnormalities in samples with male chromosomal complement was 50% (16/32 chromosomally abnormal), and in samples with female chromosomal complement, it was 47.4% (27/57 chromosomally abnormal). The present study demonstrates that the postzygotic or mitotic errors leading to chromosomal mosaicism in spontaneous abortions are more frequent than previously suspected. Chromosomal mosaicism may contribute significantly to both pregnancy complications and spontaneous fetal loss. 相似文献

Paternally-transmitted chromosomal damage has been associated with pregnancy loss, developmental and morphological defects, infant mortality, infertility, and genetic diseases in the offspring, including cancer. There is epidemiological evidence linking paternal exposure to occupational or environmental agents with an increased risk of abnormal reproductive outcomes. There is also a large body of literature on germ cell mutagenesis in rodents showing that treatment of male germ cells with mutagens has dramatic consequences on reproduction, producing effects such as those observed in human epidemiological studies. However, we know very little about the etiology, transmission, and early embryonic consequences of paternally-derived chromosomal abnormalities. The available evidence suggests that: 1) there are distinct patterns of germ cell-stage differences in the sensitivity of induction of transmissible genetic damage, with male postmeiotic cells being the most sensitive; 2) cytogenetic abnormalities at first metaphase after fertilization are critical intermediates between paternal exposure and abnormal reproductive outcomes; and 3) there are maternal susceptibility factors that may have profound effects on the amount of sperm DNA damage that is converted into chromosomal aberrations in the zygote and that directly affect the risk for abnormal reproductive outcomes. 相似文献

Aldicarb was tested for its ability to induce chromosomal aberrations in human peripheral lymphocytes in vitro, in the presence of an exogenous metabolic activation system. The pesticide induced an increase in the number of chromatid and chromosome breaks. The increase was higher in the presence of S9 mix. A positive linear association between frequencies of abnormal cells and dose of aldicarb was observed. 相似文献

Chromosome sets of fishes can be manipulated; this practice includes the production of triploid and gynogenetic salmonids. Such chromosomal modifications often result in abnormal ovarian development. In rainbow trout (RBT), triploid females have string-like gonads lacking significant developing oocytes and are suggested to be sterile due to the odd set of chromosomes disrupting oogenesis. Aberrant ovarian development is reported to occur in about 30% of gynogenetic females. It has been suggested that gynogenetic fish are more prone to expressing developmental abnormalities due to either increased homozygosity or to incomplete inactivation of the paternal chromatin. This investigation was done to compare the ovarian morphology of female triploid and induced gynogenetic diploid RBT. The objective was to determine whether the presence of supernumerary chromosomal fragments, potentially generated during the process of sperm genome inactivation, would result in abnormal gonadal development in gynogens comparable to that observed in triploid females. Gonadal morphology was observed and karyotypical analysis was completed on 21 gynogenetic fish. In 90% of the fish examined, the presence of chromosomal fragments was positively correlated with irregular ovarian development. The atypical gonadal morphology observed in the gynogens resembled triploid RBT ovarian morphology. The results of this investigation support the hypothesis that disruption of the normal diploid chromosomal complement alters germ cell development in gynogenetic female RBT due to the unbalanced nature of the genome.

The relationship between sperm chromosomal abnormalities and sperm morphology in humans 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
It has been suggested that an assay for sperm morphology might prove useful as an initial screen in evaluating men at risk for an increased frequency of sperm chromosomal abnormalities. In this study, the technique for analysis of human sperm chromosomes after penetration of hamster eggs was employed to determine whether there is an association between the frequency of chromosomally and morphologically abnormal sperm. 30 healthy men of proven fertility were studied. The ages of the donors ranged from 22 to 55 years. The analysis was performed "blindly" so that the technician analysing the chromosome spreads had no knowledge of the age of the donors or of the individual frequencies of morphologically abnormal sperm. There was no significant relationship between the proportion of morphologically abnormal sperm and the proportion of chromosomally abnormal sperm when controlled for age. This was true for the total frequency of chromosomal abnormalities and also for numerical and structural chromosomal abnormalities. These results suggest that an assay of morphology is not a good indication of chromosomal normality in human sperm. 相似文献

Kinetics of chromosomal aberrations and first mitosis division in human lymphocytes exposed to mitomycin C 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
In order to understand the relationship between the chromosomal damage detectable at the first mitosis after mutagen treatment and the induced mitotic delay we studied the time pattern of both mitotic indices and chromosomal aberration frequencies in human lymphocytes treated in G1 with mitomycin C (2.5 microM) and cultured in vitro in the presence of 5-bromo-2'-deoxyuridine. Mitotic delay was observed in treated cells cultured for 81 h. At this point an increase in the frequency of chromosomal aberrations is evident and a higher proportion of abnormal cells enters mitosis, the long delay being due to the extensiveness of DNA damage. The importance of cell cycle progression for the detection of the maximal amount of induced chromosomal damage is discussed. 相似文献

The incidence of chromosomal anomalies in early bovine embryos derived from follicular oocytes fertilized in vitro using sperm separated by Percoll density gradient centrifugation was investigated. Overall, chromosomal anomalies were observed in 13.7% (138/1005) of embryos. There were 14 haploids (1.4%), 2 hypodiploids (0.2%), 6 hyperdiploids (0.6%), 101 triploids (10.0%), 12 tetraploids (1.2%), 2 diploid/triploid mosaics (0.2%), and 1 diploid/tetraploid mosaic (0.1%). The frequency of triploidy was caused mainly by polyspermy. There was a significant difference in the frequency of embryos with abnormal chromosomes between the two bulls used (P < 0.005), but Percoll centrifugation did not affect the observed incidence of anomalies. The frequency of chromosomal anomalies in embryos at each stage increased with delay or arrest of development. These results suggest that the incidence of chromosomal anomalies depended on the conditions of in vitro fertilization and the arrest of development. 相似文献

OBJECTIVE: To verify the presence of numerical chromosomal aberrations (NCAs) in different types of pituitary adenomas (PAs) and to investigate 2 of the mechanisms that are possibly related to aneuploidies in PAs: securin overexpression and centrosome alterations. STUDY DESIGN: Twenty-one PAs of different types were analyzed with interphase fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) on paraffin sections with centromeric probes for chromosomes 2, 3, 8, 11 and 12. In all cases, the immunohistochemical expression of securin was evaluated and the number of cells with abnormal nuclear shape recorded. The ultrastructural study of centrosomes was performed in a subset of 12 tumors. RESULTS: At interphase FISH analysis, growth hormone (GH)-cell and prolactin (PRL)-cell PAs showed multiple chromosome gains and a low frequency of chromosome losses, suggesting a hyperdiploid chromosome assessment. In contrast, in the other types of PAs a lower frequency of NCAs was observed. In addition, when compared to other types of PAs, GH-cell and PRL-cell adenomas showed overexpression of securin and a higher number of both cells with abnormal nuclear shape and cells with centrosomes. CONCLUSION: Somatotroph and lactotroph adenomas are characterized by aneuploidy, abnormal nuclear shape and centrosome amplification, which are possibly related to securin overexpression. 相似文献

Summary A major chromosomal abnormality was observed in 10.3% of subfertile men in this study. This result is similar to a previous survey using the same criteria for selection of probands. The high frequency of chromosomal abnormalities emphasizes the importance of cytogenetic examination in subfertile men. The detection of such an abnormality should be followed by chromosome analysis in the patient's family. Prenatal diagnosis is indicated if a subfertile man with an abnormal karyotype fathers a child. 相似文献

Twenty-seven cases of inverted duplications of chromosome 15 (inv dup [15]) were investigated by FISH with two DNA probes specific for the Prader-Willi syndrome/Angelman syndrome (PWS/AS) region on proximal 15q. Sixteen of the marker chromosomes displayed two copies of each probe, while in the remaining 11 markers no hybridization was observed. A significant association was found between the presence of this region and an abnormal phenotype (P < .01). This is the largest study to date of inv dup(15) chromosomes, that uses molecular cytogenetic methods and is the first to report a significant association between the presence of a specific chromosomal region in such markers and an abnormal phenotype. 相似文献

Spontaneous chromosomal fragility was detected in seven tumor patients and one healthy member from two families with a high recurrence of cancer. Major chromosome lesions, such as terminal deletions and rearranged chromosomes, were found at levels significantly higher than those reported for control individuals. The prevalence of these aberrations in comparison to minor ones (chromosome gaps and chromatid breaks) in this group of patients seems to indicate that the fragility observed is the end-point of a process of chromosomal instability, which may have already been brought to expression. Study of other parameters of genetic instability in the most unstable karyotypes showed that the chromosome damage observed was neither paralleled by abnormal SCE frequency nor sustained by defective DNA repair mechanisms or expression of inherited or constitutional fragile sites. As all the subjects investigated here had previously been shown to display intraindividual variations in the C-banded region of chromosome 1, it is possible that spontaneous fragility and acquired C-heterochromatin polymorphism may be markers that, combined with chromosomal instability, create genetic predisposition to cancer. 相似文献

A cytogenetic study was undertaken to quantify, by chromosomal karyotyping, the incidence and type of chromosomal abnormalities present in Day-6 in vitro-produced (IVP) porcine embryos. Morphologically normal Day-6 blastocysts (n=318) were fixed and grouped into six classes according to the number of total cells (from < or =20 to 61-70). Of 248 embryos suitable for analysis, 97 (39.1%) displayed chromosomal abnormalities. The abnormalities included haploidy (9.3%), polyploidy (71.1%) and mixoploidy (19.6%). Within polyploid embryos, triploidy and tetraploidy showed the highest incidence (56.5 and 27.5%, respectively); among mixoploid embryos, diploid-triploid embryos (2n/3n) were prevalent (36.8%). Overall, the mean cell number was 34.3 +/- 12.1 and the mitotic index was 8.6 +/- 6.1. Chromosomally abnormal embryos had fewer (P<0.01) total cells compared to normal (2n) embryos (31.8 +/- 1.3 versus 35.9 +/- 1.0). In addition, the incidence of polyploidy decreased as the number of cells increased, while that of mixoploidy did not differ. These data indicate that polyploidy affects a large percentage of IVP porcine embryos capable of developing to blastocysts and the incidence of chromosomal abnormalities is much higher than that reported previously in in vivo embryos in this species. Given the ability of morphologically normal embryos with an abnormal chromosome complement to undergo preimplantation development in vitro, and the inability to identify blastocysts with abnormal karyotype without cytogenetic analysis, careful consideration should be given to factors affecting ploidy of IVP embryos, especially the incidence of polyspermic fertilization, when evaluating criteria of a porcine in vitro embryo production scheme. 相似文献

INRA21 is one of the canine microsatellites recommended for parentage verification by the International Society for Animal Genetics. In Labrador Retrievers, abnormal peak patterns such as three-peak patterns during capillary electrophoresis were frequently observed at INRA21. Pedigree analysis indicated that the abnormal peak patterns were due to inheritable causes, and semiquantitative multiplex (SQM) PCR analysis showed that the abnormal peak patterns were caused by chromosomal duplication. Walking SQM-PCR analysis revealed that the size of the duplicated segment was approximately 1.58 Mb. Genotypes of microsatellites within the duplicated segment indicated that the duplication was an identical-by-descent mutation. This duplication is probably carried by more than half of the dogs in the Japanese population of Labrador Retrievers. The abnormal peak patterns at INRA21 were also observed in German Shorthaired Pointers and Flat-Coated Retrievers. Genotyping analysis of the microsatellites within the duplicated segment in Labrador Retrievers suggested that the abnormal peak patterns observed in the two breeds were due to the duplication inherited from the same ancestor as the duplication of Labrador Retrievers. This study urges attention to the use of INRA21 and shows an example of copy number polymorphisms that are characteristic to dog breeds or lineages. 相似文献

PRINS-labeled knobs are not associated with increased chromosomal stickiness in the maize st1 mutant
In maize, the st1 mutant has been observed to result in chromosomes that stick together during both mitotic and meiotic anaphase. These sticky chromosomes result in abnormal chromosome separation at anaphase. Although the mechanism producing the st1 mutant phenotype is unknown, delayed replication of knob heterochromatin has been implicated in similar phenomena that result in sticky chromosomes. Primed in situ labeling (PRINS) was used to locate the 180-bp knob DNA sequences on mitotic metaphase chromosomes of several maize lines. The chromosomal regions labeled by PRINS corresponded to the reported C bands found in these lines. Additionally, PRINS was used to identify knob-bearing regions in anaphase spreads of a line carrying the st1 mutant and a nonmutant line having a similar number of chromosome knobs. The increase in abnormal anaphase figures in the st1 mutant was not accompanied by an increase in association of knob DNA with abnormal anaphases. Thus, the increase in chromosomal stickiness appears to be due to an increase in stickiness of knob and nonknob chromosomal regions. The mechanism responsible for the st1 mutant, therefore, is hypothesized to be different from that implicated in the other previously described sticky chromosomes situations. 相似文献

The BEACH protein LvsB is localized on lysosomes and postlysosomes and limits their fusion with early endosomes 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The Chediak-Higashi syndrome (CHS) is a genetic disorder caused by the loss of the BEACH protein Lyst. Impaired lysosomal function in CHS patients results in many physiological problems, including immunodeficiency, albinism and neurological problems. Dictyostelium LvsB is the ortholog of mammalian Lyst and is also important for lysosomal function. A knock-in approach was used to tag LvsB with green fluorescent protein (GFP) and express it from its single chromosomal locus. GFP-LvsB was observed on late lysosomes and postlysosomes. Loss of LvsB resulted in enlarged postlysosomes, in the abnormal localization of proton pumps on postlysosomes and their abnormal acidification. The abnormal postlysosomes in LvsB-null cells were produced by the inappropriate fusion of early endosomal compartments with postlysosomal compartments. The intermixing of compartments resulted in a delayed transit of fluid-phase marker through the endolysosomal system. These results support the model that LvsB and Lyst proteins act as negative regulators of fusion by limiting the heterotypic fusion of early endosomes with postlysosomal compartments. 相似文献
