cellular
aneuploidy
(
J:135093
)
• at 5 months, metaphase spreads from splenocytes exhibit 35% incidence of aneuploidy
• aneuploid metaphases in MEFs is much higher than in Bub1tm1.1Jvd heterozygotes or Bub1tm2vd heterozygotes
|
• MEFs treated with nocadozole to induce cycle arrest are profoundly impaired in ability to maintain arrest, with 50% of cells exiting mitosis around 3.8 hours compared to arrest in prometaphase for 7.2 hours in wild-type MEFs
|
• in MEFs chromosome segregation defects resulting from chromosome lagging or congression failure are observed at much higher rates than in wild-type MEFs; most events involve a single chromosome but some involve two or three chromosomes
|
• MEFs in which chromosome missegregation during mitosis occurs show a apoptotic rate of 42% compared to apoptosis of 95% of wild-type cells with such events
|
neoplasm
• mice are prone to develop hepatocellular carcinomas
|
• mice develop more sarcomas than wild-type; mice are prone to develop hepatocellular carcinomas
|
• median tumor-free survival is significantly shorter than wild-type or Bub1tm2vd homozygotes
|
liver/biliary system
• mice are prone to develop hepatocellular carcinomas
