DNA ploidy was measured by flow cytometry in 36 primary malignant thyroid neoplasms (including 6 bilateral tumours which were considered as separate neoplasms) from 30 dogs. In addition, DNA ploidy was determined in local recurrences in 3 dogs, and in 18 metastatic sites from 14 dogs. Aneuploidy was found in 21 of 36 (58%) primary sites. Eighteen of the 21 (86%) aneuploid tumours contained hypodiploid cell populations, with 12 having single hypodiploid peaks, and 6 being multiploid. Three other tumours had single aneuploid peaks with a DNA index (DI) greater than 1.0. The DIs in local recurrences were identical to those in the original neoplasms. Ploidy status (diploid vs. aneuploid) was identical in primary and metastatic sites in 10 out of the 14 dogs. Aneuploidy was more frequent in carcinomas from dogs with distant metastases (78%) than from dogs with less advanced stages of disease (53%), although this difference was not significant. There was no significant correlation between DNA ploidy and histopathological variables. From the strikingly high frequency of hypodiploidy in canine tumours, it is concluded that ploidy evolution in canine neoplasms may differ from that in human tumours.

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.

D000782 Aneuploidy The chromosomal constitution of cells which deviate from the normal by the addition or subtraction of CHROMOSOMES, chromosome pairs, or chromosome fragments. In a normally diploid cell (DIPLOIDY) the loss of a chromosome pair is termed nullisomy (symbol: 2N-2), the loss of a single chromosome is MONOSOMY (symbol: 2N-1), the addition of a chromosome pair is tetrasomy (symbol: 2N+2), the addition of a single chromosome is TRISOMY (symbol: 2N+1).

D000818 Animals Unicellular or multicellular, heterotrophic organisms, that have sensation and the power of voluntary movement. Under the older five kingdom paradigm, Animalia was one of the kingdoms. Under the modern three domain model, Animalia represents one of the many groups in the domain EUKARYOTA.
