During malignant transformation, cells can increase their ploidy and hence become polyploid (mostly tetraploid). Frequently, however, tetraploid cells undergo asymmetric divisions, in turn entailing a reduction in ploidy and the acquisition of a pseudo-diploid, aneuploid state. To investigate such a stepwise aneuploidization process, we developed a cytofluorometric method (based on the heterogeneity in cell size and/or chromatin content) that allows for the cloning and subsequent functional analysis of cells with distinct ploidies. Here, we detail this methodology, which has been instrumental for investigating the functional link between ploidy status and oncogenesis.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D009369 Neoplasms New abnormal growth of tissue. Malignant neoplasms show a greater degree of anaplasia and have the properties of invasion and metastasis, compared to benign neoplasms. Benign Neoplasm,Cancer,Malignant Neoplasm,Tumor,Tumors,Benign Neoplasms,Malignancy,Malignant Neoplasms,Neoplasia,Neoplasm,Neoplasms, Benign,Cancers,Malignancies,Neoplasias,Neoplasm, Benign,Neoplasm, Malignant,Neoplasms, Malignant
D010957 Plasmids Extrachromosomal, usually CIRCULAR DNA molecules that are self-replicating and transferable from one organism to another. They are found in a variety of bacterial, archaeal, fungal, algal, and plant species. They are used in GENETIC ENGINEERING as CLONING VECTORS. Episomes,Episome,Plasmid
