Aneuploidy affects proliferation and spontaneous immortalization in mammalian cells.
, Science, Vol: 322, Pages: 703-709Aneuploidy, an incorrect number of chromosomes, is the leading cause of miscarriages and mental retardation in humans and is a hallmark of cancer. We examined the effects of aneuploidy on primary mouse cells by generating a series of cell lines that carry an extra copy of one of four mouse chromosomes. In all four trisomic lines, proliferation was impaired and metabolic properties were altered. Immortalization, the acquisition of the ability to proliferate indefinitely, was also affected by the presence of an additional copy of certain chromosomes. Our data indicate that aneuploidy decreases not only organismal but also cellular fitness and elicits traits that are shared between different aneuploid cells.

Journal articleFry RC, Svensson JP, Valiathan C, et al., 2008,
Genomic predictors of interindividual differences in response to DNA damaging agents.
, Genes Dev, Vol: 22, Pages: 2621-2626, ISSN: 0890-9369Human lymphoblastoid cells derived from different healthy individuals display considerable variation in their transcription profiles. Here we show that such variation in gene expression underlies interindividual susceptibility to DNA damaging agents. The results demonstrate the massive differences in sensitivity across a diverse cell line panel exposed to an alkylating agent. Computational models identified 48 genes with basal expression that predicts susceptibility with 94% accuracy. Modulating transcript levels for two member genes, MYH and C21ORF56, confirmed that their expression does indeed influence alkylation sensitivity. Many proteins encoded by these genes are interconnected in cellular networks related to human cancer and tumorigenesis.
