Sixteen ear malignant melanomas (MM) were studied for ploidy and cell cycle analysis by flow and image cytometry. The results were compared with clinical (age, sex, stage), histologic (depth of invasion, level, type) and prognostic (recurrence, death) parameters. Single nuclear suspensions were obtained from fixed, paraffin-embedded tumor and adjacent normal tissue processed separately according to Hedley's technique. These, a "spiked" specimen of normal tissue and tumor, and a spleen diploid control were analyzed on a FACScan flow cytometer (Becton Dickinson, Mountain View, California, U.S.A.). Feulgen-stained Cytocentrifuge preparations of nuclear suspensions of normal, MM and diploid spleen were analyzed with the CAS 200 Image Analyzer (Cell Analysis Systems, Inc., Elmhurst, Illinois, U.S.A.) against commercial calibration rat hepatocytes defined as diploid. Six (37.5%) MM were diploid, and 10 (62.5%) were aneuploid; 8 (90%) were hypodiploid, for a high frequency. There were no statistically significant correlations between clinical, pathologic, prognostic or cell cycle analysis parameters and ploidy, although poor prognostic features tended to be in aneuploid lesions.

D008545 Melanoma A malignant neoplasm derived from cells that are capable of forming melanin, which may occur in the skin of any part of the body, in the eye, or, rarely, in the mucous membranes of the genitalia, anus, oral cavity, or other sites. It occurs mostly in adults and may originate de novo or from a pigmented nevus or malignant lentigo. Melanomas frequently metastasize widely, and the regional lymph nodes, liver, lungs, and brain are likely to be involved. The incidence of malignant skin melanomas is rising rapidly in all parts of the world.

D010503 Periodic Acid-Schiff Reaction A histochemical technique for staining carbohydrates. It is based on PERIODIC ACID oxidation of a substance containing adjacent hydroxyl groups. The resulting aldehydes react with Schiff reagent to form a colored product.

D011003 Ploidies The degree of replication of the chromosome set in the karyotype. Ploidy
D002453 Cell Cycle The complex series of phenomena, occurring between the end of one CELL DIVISION and the end of the next, by which cellular material is duplicated and then divided between two daughter cells. The cell cycle includes INTERPHASE, which includes G0 PHASE; G1 PHASE; S PHASE; and G2 PHASE, and CELL DIVISION PHASE.

D002467 Cell Nucleus Within a eukaryotic cell, a membrane-limited body which contains chromosomes and one or more nucleoli (CELL NUCLEOLUS). The nuclear membrane consists of a double unit-type membrane which is perforated by a number of pores; the outermost membrane is continuous with the ENDOPLASMIC RETICULUM. A cell may contain more than one nucleus. (From Singleton & Sainsbury, Dictionary of Microbiology and Molecular Biology, 2d ed) Cell Nuclei,Nuclei, Cell,Nucleus, Cell

D005434 Flow Cytometry Technique using an instrument system for making, processing, and displaying one or more measurements on individual cells obtained from a cell suspension. Cells are usually stained with one or more fluorescent dyes specific to cell components of interest, e.g., DNA, and fluorescence of each cell is measured as it rapidly transverses the excitation beam (laser or mercury arc lamp). Fluorescence provides a quantitative measure of various biochemical and biophysical properties of the cell, as well as a basis for cell sorting. Other measurable optical parameters include light absorption and light scattering, the latter being applicable to the measurement of cell size, shape, density, granularity, and stain uptake.
