Chromosome Segregation Errors as a Cause of DNA Damage and Structural Biology Diagrams Mitotic cells face the challenging task of ensuring accurate and equal segregation of their duplicated, condensed chromosomes between the nascent daughter cells. Errors in the process result in chromosome missegregation, a significant consequence of which is the emergence of aneuploidy-characterized โฆ Chromosome mis-segregation induces rapid p21/p53 activation. To investigate the immediate cellular consequences of aneuploidy, we used a rapid and tunable cellular model to induce chromosome mis

A short EdU pulse was performed before cell harvest in Consequences of Non-Random Chromosome Segregation Errors 5.1. Karyotype Evolution in Cancer Farr C.J. Increased missegregation and chromosome loss with decreasing chromosome size in vertebrate cells. Chromosoma. 2006;115:60-74. doi: 10.1007/s00412-005-0032-6. [Google Scholar] 56. Bochtler T., Kartal-Kaess M., Granzow M., Hielscher T In Chapter 3, I contribute to work exploring the immediate consequences of chromosome missegregation in hPSCs. By inducing aneuploidy in hPSCs, we demonstrate their inherent tolerance to chromosome missegregation, as evidenced by continued proliferation without activating the p53-p21 response, contrasting with the response of normal somatic cells.

The full consequences of chromosome segregation errors are vast in scope, since they affect many aspects of cell physiology, tissue homeostasis, and the adaptability of cells and organisms. Table 1. Definitions. Thus, while low levels of chromosome missegregation may be dangerous in promoting cancer, therapeutically driving missegregation
These contradictory effects are also observed in mouse models of chromosome instability (CIN). CIN can inhibit and promote tumorigenesis. Recent work has provided insights into the cellular consequences of CIN and aneuploidy. Chromosome mis-segregation per se can alter the genome in many more ways than just causing the gain or loss of chromosomes. These structures are prone to rupture, with significant consequences for genomic stability and cellular function. One primary cause of micronuclei formation is chromosome missegregation during mitosis. Errors in spindle assembly, kinetochore-microtubule attachments, or spindle checkpoint defects can result in whole chromosomes failing to
