- Background
Aneuploidy has been suggested as one of the major causes of cancer from the time of Boveri. In support of this notion, many studies have shown that cancer cells exhibit aneuploidy. However, there are evidences that do not support the aneuploidy hypothesis. We have previously reported that the spindle assembly checkpoint protein BubR1 is acetylated in mitosis and that the acetylation of BubR1 is crucial for checkpoint maintenance and chromosome-spindle attachment. Mice heterozygous for acetylation-deficient BubR1 (K243R/+) spontaneously develop cancer with chromosome instability. As K243R/+ mice develop hepatocellular carcinoma, we set out to test if chromosome mis-segregation was the cause of their liver cancer. MethodsPrimary hepatocytes in the regenerating liver after partial hepatectomy (PH) were analyzed and compared for various mitotic parameters. ResultsPrimary hepatocytes isolated from K243R/+ mice after PH displayed a marked increase of chromosome misalignment, accompanied by an increase of micronuclei. In comparison, the number of nuclei per cell and the centrosome numbers were not different between wild-type and K243R/+ mice. Taken together, chromosome mis-segregation provokes tumorigenesis in mouse liver. ConclusionOur results corroborate that PH provides a reliable tool for assessing mitotic infidelity and cancer in mice.
