aneuploidy
(
J:293084
)
• mouse embryo fibroblasts (MEFs) show an elevation in aneuploidy
• aneuploidy is increased in livers and lungs, but not spleen
|
• MEFs and mitotic splenocytes exhibit premature chromatid separation
• MEFs exhibit small, but significant, increase in chromosome segregation errors; both spindle assembly checkpoint and attachment error correction machinery are impaired
• MEFs exhibit increased chromosome lagging, forming non-perpendicular spindles and elevated rates due to slow centrosome movement
|
• spindle assembly checkpoint is impaired in MEFs
|
• MEFs form non-perpendicular spindles
