Mammalian cells acquire epigenetic hallmarks of human cancer during immortalization
Progression to malignancy requires that cells overcome senescence and switch to an immortal phenotype. Thus, exploring the genetic and epigenetic changes that occur during senescence/immortalization may help elucidate crucial events that lead to cell transformation. In the present study, we have globally profiled DNA methylation in relation to gene expression in primary, senescent and immortali...
متن کاملSpontaneous immortalization of mouse liver sinusoidal endothelial cells
The spontaneous immortalization of cells in vitro is a rare event requiring genomic instability, such as alterations in chromosomes and mutations in genes. In the present study, we report a spontaneously immortalized liver sinusoidal endothelial cell (LSEC) line generated from mouse liver. These immortalized LSECs showed typical LSEC characteristics with the structure of transcellular fenestrat...
متن کاملSpontaneous immortalization of human epidermal cells with naturally elevated telomerase.
This work explores spontaneous immortalization in keratinocytes, derived from two skin samples, that display naturally elevated telomerase activity. Serially passaged with 3T3 feeder layer support, the keratinocytes were examined for colony-forming ability, telomerase activity, telomere length, and finally gene expression using Affymetrix DNA microarrays. The cells initially exhibited normal ka...
متن کاملImmortalization Patients with Li-Fraumeni Cancer Syndrome: Aneuploidy and Spontaneous Abnormalities in Normal Fibroblasts from Updated Version
Families of patients with the Li-Fraumeni cancer syndrome have an inherited pattern of sarcomas and various other types of cancers that follow a dominant mode of transmission, an early age of onset, and exhibit multiple primary tumors. As soft tissue sarcomas (including fibrosarcomas) are frequently observed with this syndrome, the in vitro growth characteristics of fibroblasts derived from ski...
متن کاملMolecular causes of aneuploidy in mammalian eggs.
Mammalian oocytes are particularly error prone in segregating their chromosomes during their two meiotic divisions. This results in the creation of an embryo that has inherited the wrong number of chromosomes: it is aneuploid. The incidence of aneuploidy rises significantly with maternal age and so there is much interest in understanding this association and the underlying causes of aneuploidy....
